The main reason for not shouting it to the whole world is to avoid scammers and other such low lifes. Get the money secured, earning you interest/dividend/equity and set aside 10% just for fun. Debts paid off first is a must!
I have told my fiance she will receive a message from me in a random foreign country then, with some money wired into her account, she would have to chase me around the world. The last location will have a clue as to the next location, how to get there and a challenge to complete (need proof!). After about 3-4 weeks I will let her catch up
