I'd probably spend 90% on a party and a nice trip with my wife - the other 10% I'd probably waste.

I'd put every penny of it in a Swiss bank account.

Spend it while you can...money's contraband.
I'd buy a simple little stripped down beachhouse as a second home on my favorite beach close to home and close enough to my daddy. K. I. S. S.

That won't be a shelter anymore....in theory.Wino you know wrote:I'd put every penny of it in a Swiss bank account.
Wealthy U.S. taxpayers, concerned about an Internal Revenue Service crackdown on the use of secret overseas bank accounts as tax havens, are rushing to meet a Thursday deadline to disclose those accounts or face possible criminal prosecution.
Demand for the amnesty program exploded in August when Swiss bank UBS agreed to settle U.S. criminal charges that it had engaged in a "multibillion-dollar scheme" to help U.S. taxpayers hide assets from the IRS.
In all, UBS agreed to pay $780 million in penalties and to disclose the names of 4,450 American clients to Swiss officials, who would then provide them to the IRS.

Hardly frivolous. I think you could do a pretty good business with that. I know that I've thought about it given how many people seem to have an issue with gluten.

Totally irresponsibly...
a villa vacation in Tuscany with a local womabn to cook
B&B vacation in Ireland
chartered sailboat in the Caribbean--Bequia, Ile de Saintes, St. Lucia
take all the grandkeets to Disney
Lots of other things if there is any money left over!

The trick is making it so yummy that people don't care that it's gluten-free--it's just good food.The Lost Manatee wrote:buffettbride wrote:My "frivolous" answer is to open a gluten-free cafe/bakery.

If it happens, you better be sure to get you and your daughter to Denver for a meal.

I'd buy a newer car....Not new, just newer...
I'd give some of it to a friend in Oregon that struggles to put food on the table, and went all last Winter with no wood for her heating in her house..
I'd make repairs on the house I bought here, put it on the market...and use the rest to put down on a house "somewhere other than here".

No pony, but I'd buy a boat.
We could shop around and get a good deal on a used boat and have enough leftover to cruise The Bahamas and the Caribbean for a couple of years.
(After a couple of years on a boat in the Caribbean, We probably would have no desire to return to our current jobs.)

I'd take the money and Caitlin and I would follow Marcus and Wifey-poo around for a year or so!
Seriously.....travel....re-do my bathroom....have a big, fat, pillow-fighting slumber party with some of my girls!
