I would take half the money and put it away to be saved, probably in overseas accts. Theni would take the other half and buy a large plot of land and build a very accomadating home. I'd prolly do this in Arizona or New Mexico. Then, I would set up trust funds for my kids (asuming I have kids in the future). I'd make it so they couldn't touch the money until they were 28 y.o. because I want them to learn that they can't have everything in life handed to them. They have to work hard just as I did. Doesn't mean I won't help them but they better know that it's ok to break a sweat and if after a weeks hard work they have blisters and calouses on their hands they should be proud. And I'll show then some cool **** along the way too. Then I'd open a hospital and a security firm. I don't know medical ****, but I know other people do and hospitals are huge money pits. Hopefully it would succeed. I'd run the security firm myself tho. I would do that for the rest of my life til I'm 65 or so. Then I'd retire and hopefully my children will be ready and willing to take over. I would then buy a nice sturdy yacht and sail around the world and see as much as I could until I die. I would make sure I die a happy man. I'd do all the other bulls4it to, like buy a couple nice cars, maybe trick one out. But mostly I'd go for a very peaceful and quiet life with a huge focus on my family and friends. Oh and I would try and buy aveoclub forum
