I'd go to Italy,the UK,and America.
Buy a new car,and a house for myself.
A car for my parents
Give some money to close friends,and family.
And spend the rest.

I don't know, charities and some **** of my own.

Pay off my house and buy a better one. Buy a couple cars, travel, give some to charity and invest the rest.

Kay Scarpetta · 02-05-2005, 04:57 PM

Travel, pay off my parents bills, college, couple of cars, shop of course, and give some to some animal charities.

vienna waits · 02-05-2005, 05:56 PM

college/charities/buy some junk/invest/put some into a CD at the bank/new house for my parents.

x3 Taylor x3 · 02-05-2005, 06:01 PM

Buy a huge house, save some for college, give some to charities, and probably just blow the rest on useless ****.

Janet McFarland · 02-05-2005, 06:04 PM

Give to the Make A Wish Foundation, pay off my parents' bills, save money for college for me and my brothers, buy a new house/car, take a trip to Europe, and spend the rest on some things I don't need.

Kazza · 02-05-2005, 06:27 PM

I would save a big % and spend the rest with my kids

Chelsea · 02-05-2005, 06:31 PM

Firstly is the obligatory payment to Uncle Same.
Then is the obligatory payment to the State of Kentucky.
----
After that....
First: I've been eyeing a Corvette for ages now...I'd like to get one before the Box Syndrome fully affects it too.
Next would be a respectable house...Smaller at first, but definitely expandable for more bedrooms/bathrooms later.
Next would be to set aside enough money to go to...well...a better school than WKU.
I'd invest around $500,000 in a portfolio. The majority would be in more conservative investments,to ensure my future kids could go to college...while I'd place a small to medium amount in moderate to somewhat high risk ventures...Enough that I could make a sizable profit, while still not being excessive enough to come close to bankrupting myself should they go South.
The rest will be split. Around half would be kept in savings for general everyday living expenses (plus I have to furnish the house)....The remainder would be split among a couple of charities.

What, were you expecting me to say I'd buy a penguin farm?

No. I thought you were buying a kangroo!

I'd buy my mom a new house, a new house for me and a new house for dad so he doesn't have to be stuck with his evil girlfriend. I'd go shopping for anything I wanted. Donate to charities.
