One million dollars falls into your lap, after paying off all your outstanding debts, what do you do next?

I would probably get the rest of my teeth fixed (Age + some messed up from a car accident), pay off any debts my Mother has (probably send her on her first 'real' vacation in decades), and put the rest away. Not much fun, but practical I guess.

I tithe 10% to the Lord, and donate the rest to charity so that others may eat and be clothed.

I mean, I might use it as a down payment for my third yacht, but the hibachi grill staff and sushi chefs I employ (seven total) haven't gotten a raise in two years.

Sigh

Had to make sure I posted this in the Grown Up section...

Maybe its too vague to have many serious responses but I didn't want to color the discussion early.

I think you have to set aside some Hookers-n-Blow money, and you have to invest some to cover inflation. Past that starting a business? building your dream home? setting up an off-the-grid homestead?

What about run for political office?

Forum software malfunction. It shouldn't have let me post three times without a lockout timer.

Since I've already had my fair share of hookers/strippers/models and blow shenanigans over the years; I'd buy that Pennsylvania lake cabin, modest Jeep, grow my beard again and start a firewood business. I'd also leave New York City forever.

I'd buy a house somewhere and then stick the rest into something that earns me money for retirement. Probably let my mother live in the house until she dies. Then sell it and buy something better for myself.

There's a disturbing lack of mention of BNL here...

Do I have to pay taxes on it, or is it $1M free and clear? If it's the latter I would follow Gravel's example and enjoy retirement. My total debt right now is about $150k including remaining principal on my mortgage, so I might buy a new tricked out Mini to drive the next 10 years, but otherwise it's all going into 401ks and I could retire comfortably.

I'd buy a fuck load of Beanie Babies, I hear those things are collectable as fuck and will be worth a bajillion dollars in a few more years.
