What would you do with all that money?

Would you invest, spend it all, donate, set up a charity, buy a home, what?

Think long and hard...

Punchmo,
Now I will be humming the song all day Laughing

Often wondered what I would do with a bunch of money.
Pay off my bills - Make sure I am reasonably comfortable for the rest of my life - set up my family members (and close real friends) with a sensible trust fund - Then share the rest with people and organizations that I felt deserved the money.

I would invest it all, with the majority of the funds in low/no risk ventures. Even a 2.5% return would be more than enough to purchase a home, improve my standard of living, travel and donate to worthwhile causes.

i'd give some to my immediate family so they wouldn't have to worry...throw it in savings, live off the interest and do nothing but my art for the rest of my time on earth. i'd have a stellar studio too.

haha.

but make sure everyone's ok first....

Doctor Kird Ape would finally invest all of that money in getting that menace Spider-man once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would:
Pay off all debts
Hire someone wise to help wife and I with investments
Take a nice vacation around the United States
Have a nice party for friends
Incur new debts when I construct my castle (this one probably would not get off the ground....the wife makes sense)
