    One thing I wouldn't do is turn it all into gold and try to swim in it.

    Only one million?
    Sadly, that is not enough money to retire on so;
    1: Pay off my house. (that leaves me with with about 850K left).

    2: Purchase a brand new Full size cargo van and equip it with all kinds of tools. (Now I have about 800K left.

    3: start purchasing forclosed and short sale houses and flipping them. (I should be able to do this for about 5 years, building up wealth. (I should be at around 2 Mil in the bank now.

    4: Purchase a block of town houses and start renting them.

    Now I have recurring revenue with minimal risk and I can now go away and retire with a continual source of income.

    similar here...
    Then, with a continual source of income I would go enjoy some of the other things people here are talking about.

    most people here are great examples of how someone can go broke after being given such a huge amount of money.

    Pretty close to what I was thinking. Except for house it would be student loans. Instead of van it's be a pretty nice car. And with the additional revenue I'll have some later to put aside for kids college funds. :)
