I find it interesting that out of everyone who responded, only two of you said that you would quit your jobs. Shit, that would be the FIRST thing I would do, seriously! Give them the double middle finger and say, "See ya!"

Then I would:

1) Build my dream home, anywhere but Cleveland, Ohio, since it is such a fuckin depressed area.

2) Pay whatever moving expenses involved so that my immediate family members and I can live somewhere so that we can see each other more often.

3) Open up and run my own shelter for unwanted/abused animals.

4) Travel, travel, travel.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Put much of it in the bank.

Buy a house in Thailand.

Buy a Nissan Skyline.

Give some money to a few charities of my choice.

Pay for all the study I care to do.

I'd like to think I'd be sensible with it too.

Here's an idea:

Put all of it, every bit of it (except if you have bills that need paying - pay those first) for a year and just keep living the way you are (since although your life may not be everything you want it to be, it's ok right?)

After 1 year take the interest and give it to someone who really needs it and whose life you know it would completely change. After that, do what you will with the money. smile

yep, that's exactly along the lines of what i'd do. biggrin and it was so weird, because earlier today i was wondering what it'd be like to travel all over the world and have just enough money to get me by, and not much else...

Right, and the difference would be that you wouldn't have the worries about security. You'd know you were financially secure so with a bit of self-discipline it'd be a wonderful, but at the same time sensible, thing to do.

I'd like to think I'm too frugal for a whole stack of money to change the way I am completely. Would we enjoy good food and some nice things? Yes. Would my wife be getting a $2000 Louis Vuitton bag for her birthday? Hell no!!

Build a house so large constructing it renders you bankrupt, then no one will buy it either because it's such an obscene amount of money. Surrender to bankruptcy and become a priest.

- Take just enough so I'll live above the povery line without working for the rest of my life.
- Volunteer all the extra time I now have working in a 3rd world country.
- Give.

(I know it sounds like saintly bullshit, but I wouldn't be okay with having all that excess crap knowing other people don't have the basic necessities.)

I'd also like to go to college and major in Philosophy.
