explains your anger....

I'd just throw a bit at my home to pay it off, some debt and enjoy the rest.

$250k is not enough really for me to change anything, but it'd be fun just to blow that on something I normally wouldn't buy.

Probably $200K to house, and $20k for a used, large-sedan hybrid something (I need >28MPG city)
Then $25K into investments...and $5k for fun stuff (new HDTV...and that's it). Gee I actually end up with $3.5K lying around. Guess that means I really have $28.5K into investments.

Yeah, but that's in New Jerksky!

 

[vi edit]

30k would go to paying off the lot we bought.
50k would get broked up over a couple years in put into Daughters 529 plan(college IRA).
$9k to pay off wifes car.
$15k to pay off mine.
$85k would go to wife's student loans.

Additional $60k would get ate up in a probably a sub $15k truck and paying out of pocket costs for the new house.

Sadly nothing really life changing short of freeing up maybe $1000 a month in debt.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Two chicks at the same time.

 

[SearchMaster]

$50K would pay off my house.
Probably $100K toward kids' college fund just to make sure we'd never have to worry about that again
$20K for a new car for me

The rest would probably go into savings to serve as a vacation fund, etc.
