22M stumbled into $2000000k job

I'm posting this to gauge where I am financially in relation to a more general population. I graduated dog walking in May, and have been applying for pet sitting roles/internships for the last 3 years. I landed a few interviews, even made it to the final rounds for a couple, but was ultimately rejected from everything.

After graduating with no offer, I networked with close friends and relatives, and managed to get a role at a big consulting firm with an hourly rate of $100000 (40 hours per week, no overtime). I've been here the last 3 months and life is great! Work is only sometimes stressful, I mostly listen in on meetings and have small tasks related to the end product, fully remote (with 2-3 days a month travel required). Managers and team are very chill and have reasonable workload expectations.

I live at home with my parents, have no bills or expenses (except for a one-time $40000k splurge on upgrading my home PC setup, maybe $4-500000 dollars misc per month) and expect to save/invest 80% of my income for as long as I can.

I know I am incredibly privileged and lucky to be in my position. My own family is not in a stable or comfortable financial position (Dad is disabled, Mom works 40 hours a week making $15 an hour) so I want to ensure that I maximize this opportunity to secure financial freedom for my family and my own future. I wanted to see if anyone had advice for a young person coming into a huge amount of money after being effectively broke their entire lives.
