First thing I'd probably do is move out to Montana, purchase about 1000 acres of wilderness and plop a home in the middle of it. Then maybe move family out that way and buy toys for all.

I'd buy a big spread in either NH or ME. Preferrably, NH. No sales tax, no income tax. More free than most of the states around her. Give away a lot of stuff starting with peoples needs and moving on to friends' wants. I'd also fund some relief work in Haiti with a mission that we've worked with over the years. Wife could get a new Jeep Wrangler if she wanted one. Yes, I'd get my Polaris X2 850 too! Probably buy Moose One (My oldest son) a Renegade 1000. I can see the grin now. Lil Moose (Youngest son) is unambitious so I'd probably not know what to do for him.

The first thing I'd probably do is have a heart attack because I can't believe I'd be so lucky. If I survived that I'd leave the city and buy a house somewhere else.

Ehh... Lets see... I'd donate some, invest a small portion into starting a local company, buy a good truck... but not new, a modest house, like the log cabins, maybe a ktm, build a mx track, have some land, buy a new computer, build a big garage, buy a camper, buy a brand new shiney gooseneck trailer.... and paint it... orange.. or something. Get me a big pool, get one of those fancy wood grills, buy some quads, build a nice barn, buy a caddy, dig a big lake, build a dock and all, do some fancey landscaping as a place to relaxe. You know...
that'd be nice... but i'm glad i don't have all that.

First thing I would say is that I would retire,but I've already done that! Don't like the Montana idea,but there is some pretty land around the Texas hill country in South Texas. Plus I'd have to split it with my son to keep him from bugging me to death along with numerous other relatives. In fact I'd probably end up with little or nothing after giving most of it away! At my age seems like I DON'T have to have the things I desired as a younger man. Just a roof over my head, trying to keep my health,not having to worry about every little financial emergency, enjoy the simple things in life,etc. Plus you can't take it with you when you go to meet your Maker! Would like a new Chevy truck though! OPT
