    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.

    Since a million dollars wouldn't last forever, I'd go back to school and finish in something I'd love to do for the rest of my life (History Teacher), buy a house, invest some and save the rest.

    I would buy a house so my husband and I can start a family finally. Not anything huge or fancy, just enough space for us. I'd give some to our families for whatever they wanted or needed to do. Then I would pay off whatever debt we have, credit cards, school loans, car loans, etc.

    After that you could probably do about $15,000-20,000 a year in interest. But I hear that's fabulously rich in San Fransisco ...
