Half of it into savings immediately. Charitable donations would come out of this half. Start looking into lawyers, accountants, etc. Hard to know who to trust right off the bat is the problem, dont' want to get Nick Caged, hence the half into savings. Probably give money back to my old school district when I was a kid, former teachers that made a difference to me, coworkers, people who could use a hand.
I'm not working anymore, getting that 40 hours a week back to go do whatever the hell I want. Wife will do the same. Have to stay in the area for our kid to finish high school, we wouldn't want to pull them away from their friends and grandparents in the area.
Force parents into retirement, buy my parents a new house wherever they want, probably new vehicles too. Take care of the in-laws as well.
Start figuring out amounts to go to which Aunts and Uncles and cousins, definitely pay off my immediate Aunts and Uncles debts, those who were there all my life and helped raise me, took me to Chiefs games when I was young, camping, fishing, etc. Certain family is in the armed forces, make sure they're setup when they get out.
Buy season tickets to the Chiefs so we stop using my in-laws tickets when it gets too cold is a big one right out of the gate.
All the while my wife and I will be looking at land locally to build a new home in the KC Metro area, fix up our current home, pay it off and probably give it to one of my friends or family who really need it. After everything is as setup as it can be at home, I'd like to travel around the United States a bit, then overseas. I'm sure my wife would want a tropical vacation of some kind, which I would be all for. Just so many things to even think of, I'm sure in many ways it's a curse, but it's nice to dream about all the good it could do for you and those you care for, even those who don't get noticed in this world and need it the most. I've never been wealthy before so alot of new territory there.
