Read "Squandering Aimlessly" by David Brancaccio, which is a really interesting read. He travels around the US and talks to people about 10 different scenarios for dealing with a windfall--but he's a really good storyteller, lots of food for thought for all of us in that book.

From the review: "He finds that generosity is common, as are guilt, insecurity, confusion and regret. However, there is very little of either greed or indifference. Perhaps the most important message of the book is that no one seems to have a good answer to the question of what to do with money. Neither professional money managers, professional thinkers nor gamblers have the secret. The people Brancaccio meets who are happy and secure do not worry much about money, but seem to have enough (everyone else has a problem, either financial or emotional or both)--but the cause and effect of this relation is not clear."[/quote]
