Aside from hookers and blow and all the other OT shenanigans..obviously paid off all your shite, hooked your people up if you wanted, etc.

what would you invest in or build, what would you do with yourself and time?

I'd build a decent sized house, not a huge mansion though. Get a nice truck, and a nice sports car. Then I'd buy a nice camp and land somewhere.

Then I'd play it safe with the rest.

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.

After I got all that squared away, I'd travel the world 3-6 months at a time.

Half split between Exxon, Apple, Johnson & Johnson, and Under armor.

Put 20% into various retirement funds and mutual funds.

Another 20% would be used to build a comfortable house, buy a few places in vacation spots, one on each coast, one in Colorado. And also buy a nice vehicle.

10% for living expenses. I'd still work part time to have an income until about 40.

I'd want to open a steakhouse & bar. Old school hard wood interior. Semi fine dining.

With that I'd like to have my own distillery for making whiskey, and I'd get in on that Colorado action being there and Albuquerque are where I'd have bought houses to vacation in.

I would buy a home in New Hampshire and land in Montana. A home in Florida. Own some businesses. Keep my firm and just hire people to run it while I do my thing.

I'd go to a couple different racing academies and get a lot of hands-on instruction, but a cheap car and do a lot of SCCA racing, then after about a year or so I'd buy a 911 GT3 Cup and buy a seat on a TUSCC race team.

My buddy and I have a dream of building a summer camp-style lodge somewhere near Ennis, MT to provide kids with speech impediments and learning disabilities with a cool place to come spend a week or two and get some good hands on therapy at the same time.

A house in the country -- nothing outrageous, but big enough to have a basement den and a study/library. Also a gazebo, perhaps a small pond.

an RV

My dreams are quite modest

I would love to go and take as many courses as I wanted. Not have to be so stressed over the future in a make it or break exam, I love to learn though.

Montana or Wyoming, maybe a summer place

Doesn't Florida have that law where your home can't be seized in a judgment? I think Texas does as well
