    Pay off all of our debt, set our parents up for life, quit working and do volunteer work with dogs, take a well needed vacation to brazil, buy some property in the adirondacks and somewhere in the carribean, buy my dream car and of course invest a whole lot of it.

    Pay off my house, do some work on it renovating and such, rent it out... buy a new one in Virginia. Get the new mustangs for FI and I. Take a group of my friends to Vegas for a weekend. Go on a huge shopping spree... and find great ways of investing the rest of it... probably some real estate and land... as well as other investments.We would also hire a kick a$$ lawyer to deal with all the babymama drama FI has to deal with.

    Ditto paying off school loans and invest.  Also give to charity, buy a house and a new car.  Then shopping sprees all the time, DH would quit his job and run his blog, parents' retirement, buy a jet and travel the world.

    FI and I just had a conversation about this when we played on Friday lol. We would pay off all of our debt (which consists mostly of my student loans, and our mortgage, and a little credit card debt). Sell our condo for whatever we could, and get a bigger house. Not huge, but big enough for the babies I plan to have in the next 5 or so years :).  I would quit my job but find something either part time or volunteer work to keep me occupied. I would get a little "work" done on myself, take a nice vacation, donate to some worthy causes, and of course invest as much as I could.I just can't see going out and buying million dollar houses, hundred thousand dollar cars, and all kinds of lavish things. We're simple people, that's not our style...and I don't even think $252 million could change it.

    Pay off debt/school loans Set up family for life Travel around the world, first-class, five star all the way. Buy/build dream house on some body of water. My H would quit his job in .01 seconds and probably become a dog trainer or something like that. I would be a career student, getting random degrees in languages, history, and business.

    Pay off my Visa first and foremost. Pay off what I can with wedding vendors. Buy a house and a winter car, then fix up my Camaro to keep for the summer. Go on a sweet-azz vacation!

    Bri and I were just talking about this yesterday!!  Neither one of us has debt.  We both agreed that we'd start a business (Bri says a Subway...LOL).  After that, we'd probably buy a house (nothing too big though...I don't want to clean it!!) and possibly a new car for me.

    i'd keep my job. i already volunteer, and both things are fulfilling in their own ways. pay off debt, buy two new cars... an escape hybrid, and a sweet honda accord, buy a house (or two), start college funds for my nieces, send any immediate family member to school, buy my parents a house, set up retirement funds/investments for myself, FI, Brother/SIL, and parents set up my grandfather and give him a REAL retirement so he doesn't have to work until he dies. donate to charity or super awesome social orgs go on adventures- a lot of adventures. new wardrobe...the stupid material things buy a bunch of lifetime season tickets to u of m football and basketball, take over payment of my mom's season tickets to u of m hockey, red wings, tigers, we'd probably send FI to a PhD program and decline funding so someone else could have it. that would be neat. i'd probably do something like minifalda, go learn a crap load of languages for funsies. especially since i would be able to afford language immersion programs. then maybe buy a house in france. fi wants a chevette. yep. a chevette. that's the third thing he said. "pay off debt, buy a house, get you a sweet new car and me a chevette, then donate a bunch of it"
