You suddenly get a LOT of money...

I just want enough to never have to work another day in my life. Of course I'd spoil myself with all kinds of luxuries I do that now ☺️ but if I could retire in my 30s I'd do it. So I suppose the first answer would be to invest it.

Buy a house
Travel around the world
Start a business

pay off all debts (for me and my immediate circle...since they've been with me through thick and thin).
Set up a trust fund (Invest)...to sustain my new lifestyle.
whatever is left, absolutely goes to a charitable cause(s)....which I have several that I have done work for.

Pay off debt including mortgage, invest it possibly including starting or buying a business

I would move permanently into my vacation condo.

Fix some things around the house, buy some books, and invest most of it.

I would give two thirds of it to MND (ALS) research and invest the rest 🙂🐼🥢

Buy a better house
Traveling
Add to my collections

Start up and build as many bird sanctuaries as I can.

I bought a camper van and left

Buy a house and a car.

I would save it

good poll

It really depends on how much it is.

1st: Pay off all of my debts.
2nd: Assuming I still have more left, I start helping family with their debts. And those friends I know would have my back through thick and thin, they get included with family.
3rd: this is a branching point. If I have a few million, I would try to invest it so that I could live off the investment income or at least have it supplement my working income. If I have less, then I might make some one time cost quality of life improvements. If I have hundreds of millions, I would try to start a non profit business or community service.

Help the less fortunate.

Pay off debts
Go on holiday...I haven't had one for over 10 years.
Invest it

I have no debts. I'm proud of that fact because it took forever!

I'm going for a home first... out of the city and into nature. I hope " a lot of money" is enough for that.
