People think I'm nuts, but I always tell people I'd just do exactly the same shite as I do now. Just less worries. I don't want the headaches of big expensive shite but the comfort of knowing I could tell my boss to frick off at any given day and be good.

Scruffy is in the same boat. Not much that he wants or needs.

I would still take classes and tests and all that, i just wouldn't spend hours cramming for an exam.

parking something this in the stadium lot would be fun

Financial advisor to help us to invest our money wisely. Discuss with my husband where we want to live at and move there and buy a house (some place on the pacific coast would be nice).

Have a kid, travel all over the world for a bit with a nanny to help care for baby.

I wouldn't work as a bedside nurse again. But maybe find charity work, etc to get involved in. Or be a dog walker and walk/play with puppies on the beach.

You'd pay for the peace and quiet more or less?

I don't like big cities

My dream is to be able to get a house and property outside a small college town like Oxford or Hammond (not those specific towns necessarily, but about that size)

I went to NYC when I was at LSU and I realized something I'd long suspected -- I am not a city boy. Even BR is too big for me.

It's nice to have a city nearby for shopping/dining/concerts/going out etc... But I'd rather not live in one.

You could combine two of those and open up a veterinarian clinic somewhere.

Helping peopke in need is a great thing though, I wanted to be a doctor as a kid but that didn't pan out.

medical/innovative research
scholarships to students in third world countries
Libraries
Museums of all kinds

But I'm not a vet.

Even though I wouldn't do bedside nursing as a job again if I had all that money ....I would love to go on medical mission trips and work as a nurse in that aspect.

Yeah but 180 million, you could build the facility and take a cut.

I'd do a lot of traveling around the world.

Its hard to fathom how to legitimately spend it, not wasting it...actually spending.

A nice sized house outside of a major city would run say 2-3mil if even.

A few REALLY nice cars, another million.

misc shite I've always wanted, another million.

Taking care of family (ranges...I'll say 50mil to be nice)

thats having to give away 50mil and I'm still sitting at around 125mil left.

Around the world trips? Lets say 200-500k

More houses, condos in various cities? Could be another 5mil.

Seriously...wtf else!? Investments of course, but legitimately hard as hell to spend that much.
