i'd put aside a chunk for savings.....so i don't touch it!
i'd pay off debts- school, car
help buy my mom a new house
give some gifts to friends/family
donate to church, charities
go to culinary school! :) i hate my current job...
it's true, $1M is actually not much in this day and age (a nice house will run at Least $700,000 in california!), but hey i'd take it Anytime. we'd probably sell my mom's house now and buy a nicer one w/ the sell money as well as me helping out..help her down for a nicer car.... i'd want to try to stay as grounded as possible... still work, etc etc. :) sigh.. i need to start buying lotto tickets |

You do realize that buying a house would probably take most of that million dollars right... |

A million isn't that much. I can't even buy a decent house for that here in CA. And it definitely wouldn't come close to taking care of me for the rest of my life.
That being said, I could pay off my debts ($150,000)-->student loans) and have a nice down payment on a house ($400,000). I could then invest the rest for my retirement (the rest) |

Pay off me debts, put a lot of it in banks, and give presents to all my family. I would also buy some of the stuff I've always wanted, and donate to a charity. |

- Pay off debts.
- Buy new homes and vehicles for family.
- Buy myself a new home and vehicle.
- Invest.
- Take the rest of my time to think about what else I would like to do with it. |

At today's prices I'm not sure you could do all that on 1million dollars. A house will take about 1/2 of your total inheritence. If I came into that kind of money I would pay off my existing mortgage, renovate the house I have and live off the interest. |
