5mil?

I'd pay a month of my bills, so nothing changes.

Not much, live of the interest and work part time.

I’d immediately quit working, I can tell you that.

That’s actually a solid strategy. I’d probably spend more on a house than $500-600, but real estate should always be considered an investment.

I'd pay down all my debt. Invest 200k into a college fund for each kid. Drop about 2mill into retirement. Buy a nice home in Rosemary Beach for probably 1mill. Buy a share in Grand Lake for 120k. Build a 150k camp there. Would leave me with about 750k liquid. I'd continue to work and live my life.

Pay off house. Education funds for kids, nieces, nephews. Save, invest. Take care of parents, in-laws. Retire earlier. Travel a little. That's about it.

1. Pay off debt/mortgage
2. Save 25% of remainder
3. Invest 50% of remainder
4. Give 15% of remainder
5. Splurge 10% of remainder (new truck, vacation, etc.)

A little remodeling. Longer/better vacations. More walking-around-cash in my pocket. That's probably about it.

Slight upgrade to home location. Not much bigger house, but nicer location. Travel more, when I want. Probably keep my job for at least a while. Maybe by a small condo in a skiing spot for only personal use.

Oh, and hookers and blow.

$5million tax Free would be less than ive already inherited. I would have to cut back on some lifestyle choices.

No I wouldnt. I stayed there in September for a wedding and one of the houses we stayed in was for sale for 1.4 mill and was much larger than what I'd want.

5 million ain’t what it used to be. Thanks Obama

I’d probably live the same life and retire a few years earlier.

I would pay off law school.
I would pay off my parents' house.
I would invest some of it.
I would save the rest for when I get out of law school and figure out what I am doing with my life.

Everything else remains basically the same.
