    I would start with the obvious. Paying off my parents house and debts, my debts, give money to my brother and sister just for their education, then give them all some extra money to buy whatever they want.

    Frivolously, a white M6, condo, and some vacations.

    Seriously, some type of money management. I do not know much about making money through investments but I would like to make enough to be able to continually donate a certain amount of money to Alzheimer's research. The leftover money I would just like to sit there in the bank.

    3rd: Give $1 MILL to my brother.
    4th: Give $1 MILL to my parents.

    As far as the charities I would support...I would also help some homeless people out if they're willing to have a normal life. I would pay the city to have them re-open the Marian Residence women's shelter down the street. I used to live there 5 years ago when I was in the bottom and if I had the money I would help them re-open it because it's a shame they had to close it down last year. I would set up businesses around my town too and I would hire homeless people if they're willing to clean up they're act.

    If I had $5M...I'd love to just walk up to a homeless person sleeping on the sidewalk and just hand them $5000 for nothing...just to see the look on there face. Does'nt matter what they'd spend it on either,just to make someone else happy.

    I would also rescue animals from the shelter....Invest in a vegeterian restaurant too.Buy a slaughterhouse and turn it into something more positive instead of for killing animals. I'd like to have my own farm and raise baby chicks who were about to be put to sleep. Definitely have my own horse ranch because I love horses...I always wanted to have a pet horse.

    Honestly, I think I'd put 1 or 2 Mill. aside just so Adam and I can live off that for a while and take breaks from work. Well, we'd use part of that to buy our NH house and everything that goes with that.

    Definitely a few doggies, and a couple of my own snakes.

    A car, considering I'm lacking one at the moment.

    I'd definitely donate a good chunk of it and give a bunch to my parents and my brothers... and a HUGE chunk for my niece's future (I could go into specifics about how much goes towards what, but my brain is shut down for the remainder of the day).

    I'd take the rest of it and go shopping. Oooooh how I miss shopping

    I've got to be direct
    If I'm off please correct
    You're standing on my neck....

    Real Estate Baby!!!

    1) Of course pay off current house
    2)Put a mil away for kids education. Who knows what a Colledge education will cost in 10-14 years... I do not want to think about it!
    3) But at least 100 acres preferably on a private lake.
    4) Give each of my siblings a few acres to build on They are resp for most building costs though. (heck, they need a vested interest).
    4) Build my Mom a house on Said property.
    5) Same for my Gram. Pay for a private nurse 5 days a week for her.
    6) do something really nice for my best SIL & BIL who are always there for us. Maybee pay off their part of their kids colledge ed.

    I know an "excellent real estate agent" commission is low, honest

    Hmmm, I missed this thread

    I'd buy a house, a car, pay off all my debts, pay off my parents' debt, divvy up between myself and my two little sisters a small luxury amount and then I would donate to things like the Children's Hospital and other large hospitals in my city that are in need of beds and to the city police, fire and emergency response crews...
