    I'd officially be on track to where I want to be. I would pay off my debt, and begin aggressively looking for my first house. I would also conceivably be in the market for a second vacation home, which I'd look for in Hawaii.

    Travel more than I do now...I love visiting new places. Add more equipment to my home gym.

    Get a huge bus-sized RV with a gym on board. . then head across country picking up all my MFP peeps along the way and having endless debates about nutrition and fad-diets and filming the whole thing for a documentary.

    Since my life expectancy took a sharp decline this last year, I'd retire, spend time with my family and do all the things I've always wanted to do.

    I'm sorry!! -hugs-

    Hmm..I'd love to travel the world!!! :)

    I don't stress about it. We're going to do some traveling. Just a trip a year or so. I've got some time.

    Aww I love the attitude! Live life to the fullest. :drinker:

    Thanks! :flowerforyou:

    Once I finished paying off the mortgage / credit cards / car payments, etc, I would put in a nice patio in the back yard with a little fire pit for making s'mores and enough room for my hammock and maybe even a little fish pond with a little water fountain. Then I'd throw an addition on my house and make myself a nice little library with a cozy chair.

    Buy a new car... buy an apartment that I could either live in or rent out.
    And go for a trip.
    Rest I would save.

    I'd still be making no money. So I'd go about my business!

    It's a tricky question. While I would really like to retire in the next two years, an increase of that magnitude would mean over a million dollars a year. I might want to work a little longer and make my retirement that much more comfortable.

    The shallow end: Hire a trainer, personal chef, and personal assistant who would follow me around and bat poor choices directly out of my hand.

    The deeper end: Redirect my research to explore additional options to reduce recidivism.

    I'm curious... If all of a sudden your annual income became your monthly income starting tomorrow... What would you do different? What would you change right away in your life?

    Would pay off the mortgage.
    Get an investment property.
    Travel first class.

    So I would still be doing my job, but for 12x more money? Shoot, I'd have to stay in the area then because my job is location-specific. If it were lotto-money or something, I'd move someplace tropical.

    Staying around here I'd buy a house on acreage, travel, and save for early retirement. I would also give money to my family and causes that I care about.

    Buy a house big enough for my kids to have animals. Put a decent amount into my kids' accounts. And then take it day to day with the rest....for sure put some into charities and schools!
