    I'd buy house for everyone I knew, then buy a sailboat and ply the Caribbean Sea. But mostly smoke weed.

    Pay off all my debt, buy a house for my family, and then travel, travel, travel.

    I'd like to think after I took part of the money for myself, I'd help out family, friends and give a ton away to local charities. But first, a trip to Hawaii to get out of the Winter weather!

    Pay off all my debt and my families debt, build a HUGE no kill animal shelter and pay the workers a ridiculous salary. Then I would quit my job and visit every corner of this Earth.

    I already love where I live so....


    I'd pay off my house. Put a small addition on it. Maybe renovate a couple things. I'd landscape the 3 acres the way I want and then buy up the 50 acre hunting camp that surrounds it on 3 sides.

    I'd give my parents a nice nest egg, and my fiances parents.

    Travel.

    Buy a fly in hunting or fishing lodge.

    Travel more.

    Open a canine and/wildlife rehab center.

    First thing would be to get my girlfriend and her daughter over here to live with me and pay for their visas upfront, without a second thought. Get married and buy a slightly better house than what I have now. We're still doing that regardless, but it's going to take time. Then make sure we have enough to get her daughter (well, she's so my daughter now lol) a good education, and enough for college/university if she wanted to do that when she reached that age. A little nest egg for her, for when the time is right.

    After that, do what we can to help our close family and friends. Get my sister and her fiancee out of any debt, and help fix up their house and car. Buy a nicer house for her parents, and make sure they don't have to work anymore. Help my friends with any financial troubles they might have, repairs, debts, whatever.

    Use the rest to live comfortably, while still working to maintain income and stave off complacency. Take some random long holidays to explore my girlfriend's home country, visit places her parents came from, and absorb the culture.

    Last but not least, donate what I can to various charities. Namely for things like cancer research, environmental issues, animal cruelty. But I wouldn't just give them money, because most of what you donate doesn't actually go towards the cause directly (sadly, this is true). I would purchase things they desperately needed, such as equipment. Help a few people out with their GoFundMe campaigns, make some dreams come true.

    Personally, I'd buy a van, and trick it out to be like a tiny house. With solar power recharging.
