    A million dollars isn't what it used to be...I doubt a whole lot would change for me other than having a tad bit more freedom. I wouldn't be able to quit my job or anything...a million dollars wouldn't last long.

    Liposuction!

    Nah, just kidding. I’d pay off my debt, invest the rest, and eat more lobster :smile:

    I'd spend parts of it in several ways:
    1. Help family/friends. If there would be any left, I'd...
    2. Meet my own needs. If any remained after that...
    3. Honorable charity, here it comes!

    Pay off our mortgage, help the kids, take a nice vacation, invest the remainder for retirement and likely cut down to a 4 day work week.

    Buy a house for my partner and myself, get some clothes and jewelry I've been thirsting over (which would quite honestly not be expensive), get my partner the high-end Italian tailored suit he's been dreaming of, get myself a much better laptop, get my friends and family gifts, put the rest in a bank.

    First thing I'd do would be to change it into euros so I could actually spend it.

    Then I'd pay off all my debts, buy a nice house (not too big, I don't want to be cleaning a huge house!), nice car, pay my dad off so my mum can keep the house then put the rest away.

    Get married LOL
    We dont even have a big wedding planned and its still costing an arm and a leg.

    Then buy a 4 bedroom brick veneer home with a big *kitten* deck on a big block in the same area we currently live in, so the kids have a backyard worthy of playing in (ours is kinda small atm and not overly kid friendly).

    Take the kids and partner travelling around Australia and Asia.

    Money spent. ;)

    Get my partner treated (finally) privately, pay off our student loans, buy a small place so we're not stuck renting anymore, then stick the rest away.

    I have money..i get up work out and go to work. Come home have dinner bike visit friends go out on weekends and party hard maybe once a month. I try and take a nice vacation once a year. My car is 5 years old. A million isn't a lot of money and investing sucks. It's another job in itself managing money...sorry rambling...waiting for club to open.

    First, pay off all my debt! After that, I would hire Brom to do the artwork, or at least some of it, for the tabletop RPG setting book that I am writing.

    I would buy a couple of 4 unit apt buildings. Use the cash flow to pay for my 4 or 5 bedroom house in the Oakland Hills.

    Buy a small house with enough room for my own private gym.

    A nice used car.

    Save the rest and live off the interest.
