That and a couple more to rent out. Invest the rest. Then play games all day.

Work less, travel more, buy more useless gadgets.
Maybe move to Amsterdam.

Somewhere 40 minutes north of Amsterdam in Noord Holland.

Take half, pay off all debt.

Take other half, hire a reputable financialist or whatever they're called to invest my money for me so I can get more money.

Damn, you have $2.5 million in debt?

Anyway, here's what I'd do:

- I would keep working because if you had no money, you'd go bored and start blowing it.
- Put it into various investments
- Set up an interest earning account that will allow me to fuck 1,000 high dollar hookers/escorts until I'm 45.
- Buy a nice condo.

Coke, hookers, a car, move out of my house, give two to my mum, flip my boss the bird, build the mother of all gaming PCs, finish school and invest what's left in real state and a restaurant.

Upgrade house and head to vegas for a week. Would probably keep working...5 mil aint powerball money.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #20 on:** October 30, 2013, 09:27:54 AM »

Immediately quit my job, like just leave all my tools and paint sprayer in whatever apartment I was working in and tell them to give it all to the next sucker

do nothing but rest, watch movies, and play games for around three months while I sorted out what to give and to whom, what kind of house i want, etc

take 6 months and travel

invest most of what's left, go back to school

hampster · « **Reply #21 on:** October 30, 2013, 09:30:37 AM »

Pay off debt, move to a better city, buy a house, buy a new computer and stash the rest away for my kid's college and retirement

Being an adult sucks. Kid me would have filled a swimming pool with gummie bears :'(

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #22 on:** October 30, 2013, 09:33:05 AM »

I'd put all the money in a swimming pool and then swim in it.

Pay off all my debt, pay off that house my brother convinced me to buy with him a few years back, and keep working because health insurance is expensive!

an apartment in the heart of manhattan and gold-plated sex toys. And I'd buy my way in to academia.

Pay off student loans, move out, buy a new car, and put the rest in savings and give family 1m of it. I'm a pretty simple person.

I've got big tits naturally. I dunno about nu-puss, but laser/electro is a go.

Top of the list is sexual reassignment. Then I'd probably buy a house somewhere in the country, and a nice motorcycle... And then save whatever's left. Boring.

radioheadrule83 · « **Reply #32 on:** October 30, 2013, 11:10:04 AM »

Pay debt, quit job, take time to do something worthwhile, learn worthwhile things, go travelling and see worthwhile things. Record music.
Pay off parents' debt (they're probably close to not having any).

I'd watch with curiosity how it affected my relationships. If anybody suddenly wanted more involvement where they'd had little before they'd be getting short thrift. I'm not vindictive by nature, but I think someone trying to cosy up and take advantage of me could cause me to be incredibly nasty indeed. The social effects would be the most interesting to experience IMO.

I've read my vague first sentence back and I'm tempted to ask myself why I can't do any of that stuff now. A more youthful, optimistic version of myself would probably give it a go. In the real world, time and energy is limited to some extent by life and basic survival getting in the way. They say money doesn't make people happy, but it definitely makes it much easier for people to be happy if they want to be. No doubt about it.

As a serious answer:

-Buy/build a new house
-Buy a new car
-Buy a new computer
-Buy a bunch of anime figures and body pillows
-Take an extended trip to Italy with a personal guide
-Throw the rest in a modest yield account
-Write books for the next 60 years

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #40 on:** October 30, 2013, 12:19:47 PM »

first, get a leave of absence from my job. I don't want to quit it, just not be around for a while. Pay off house. Hire amazing landscapers and get some cray cray backyard landscape work done.

Travel and birdwatch with my wife for four or five months straight. See EVERYTHING, from penguins in Patagonia to the Galapagos Islands to the Mongolian taiga.

Take a motorcycle safety course and get a bike. Use it to ride around town and get good beer instead of that box wine Von Cruncheon loves so much.

Spend two weeks in Seattle. Eat a hot dog with MAF and visit other friends. Go to TI4 and watch people play some dota.

Pretty modest stuff.
