Buy a nice house (they're very cheap right now and they will eventually be worth so much more). Remember...buying land is a good investment...its always in demand and there is a finite amount of it...there will never be more than there is no matter how many humans are born.
Land...a house....and assuming your fairly young...invest it in something that has a 20 or 30 year plan for reinvestment and profit.
Most of all...talk to a financial adviser about your choices. |

first pay off any debt you have so then you will be free to do whatever you want with your money. go get you some clothes, shoes, or something electronic that you've always wanted to get. ya know, treat yourself, but invest, or put some of that money up for the future. or for emergency cash. dont just blow all of it |

Depends on how much you have, but this is what I would do....
1. Put about $1,000 in the bank as an emergency fund.
2. Be debt free (credit cards, student loans, car loans, mortgages) and STAY debt free (none of this works if you plan on getting in debt again).
3. Fully fund an emergency fund of 3-6 months of expenses.
3a. Give whoever gives you the best answer $100.
4. If you haven't finished school, use it to pay for your school.
5. Put some away for your kid's college fund.
6. Throw the rest into retirement (maybe take a relaxing, but sensible vacation) |

It really depends on how much your talking about, and what your intrests are. If you actually in your mind truly consider it a crapload of cash your going to be dying to do something decadent with it at first so give yourself that... choose one thing that costs less than 10% (preferably less than 5%) of the sum total and go do/buy/have it... then get serious about the rest... put it in an intrest bearing savings account for 6 months and educate yourself on finances, talk to professionals (including whoever has been managing it up to this point), you'll need this cooling off period psychologically just to realize that you are now responsible for this new tool that can alter the rest of your life. Read books like _RichDad, PoorDad_ and understand that all money is not created equal, nor are all investments. If this truly is a large trust fund or something you will likely need professional direction; if its under 100k educate yourself and be disciplined enough to not blow it, because its really not that much.
Me personally, if it were enough money would buy a piece of mixed use property with apartments to live in and rent out above, and an alternative bookstore, yoga & massage studio, coffee shop/french cafe down below and probably never leave my own building again (except maybe to go to a play or concert :)
Hope this helps |

I wouldn't go out to drink or anything like that. if that's what you expect every one to post. but really go do something productive that would actually keep producing me more money instead of waisting it all on a couple of days and get nothing good from it. |

save it for the future im guessing... but the real question is not what you would do with it, but what you would want to do with it.. |

Well, when I was 21 years old I received a crap load of cash in the form of grants from my university.
I blew it on vodka, which probably wasn't the smartest thing to do. I wish I would have spent the money on traveling... and vodka. |
