    I would pay off my student loan, car, and credit card first. Then buy a house and take a very long vacation.

    Move to Belize.

    We have almost no debt (small HELOC - about a quarter of our home's market value), and are ready to retire someplace warm, sunny, and slow-paced.

    Plus, I want to grow all the tropical fruit I love to eat!

    #1 Call my hubby and tell him he can finally quit the job he HATES.
    #2 Pay off debts.
    #3 Put half away in a 'safe' place.
    #4 Probably move to Vancouver, Toronto or maybe even Los Angeles so my husband could pursue a career in acting.
    #5 When #4 fails, move back home and life off #3 for a while ;o)

    Pay off all my debt, buy my dream car, and buy a house with a "motherinlaw suite" for my Momma. And if there was anything left over, travel!! First stop, Ireland!!

    A fine choice and we would be very happy to welcome you. Especially with the million bucks n all.

    lol!

    I'd pay off my car (I still owe something like $6,600), buy a nice little 2-3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home (about $300,000 in my area), fly out to California to see my in-laws (I actually love my in-laws! That'd be only $350 or so) and give my mom some as a thank you for raising me gift (prolly about $100,000) then put the rest in savings.

    I'd pay off my debt as well then buy a new home, go shopping, give some money to family, to charity and do some travelling but wouldn't quit my job as a million dollars doesn't go that far anymore.

    pay off my debts

    this. a million dollars is not a lot of money any more.
    Its enough if you live smart and don't go too nuts..or go nuts, get stuff you've always wanted and when its all gone, settle back into the life you knew before.:laugh:

    Since we have no debt (not even a mortgage; we paid that sucker off last June), I would totally quit my job. Just stick it to them. No two weeks. They'd eventually manage, but since I have no back up, they'd be drowning for a little while. Then hubby could quit his. We live so far under our means right now that $1 million would totally allow us to retire.

    Answer the phone at work with responses I always wished I could say to the stupid people on the other end. Then once I finally quit or got fired, go back to school full time, while buying a house on the river.
