100 million pennies! Happy swimming :)

Me, I'd prolly leave it in the bank to develop interest....yearly interest would itself be a really nice addition to normal salary :) $10,000 @ 1%.

Is it unreasonable to expect 6% from a bank for 10 x $100,000 fdic insured accounts? If not, then live on the interest

you'd be lucky to get 1.5% right now (checking/savings).

Put it in the bank. I won't go spend the money just because someone gave me the money. I have to have a better reason than that to spend it.

Does the government tax interest made on a savings account (if it's your primary source of income) like it does regular job income? Because if it doesn't, then $40-60 grand a year (4-6% interest) is really like getting paid $80 grand + at a job. Plus down the road you still have $1 million to retire with!

i'd buy a new car first
then i'd pay off all my parent's debts
buy them something that they want
see if any of my close relatives need anything
then i'd invest the rest in a mutual fund or just let it sit in the bank

I'd invest it right away then buy the car in a year or two with the interest.
