Invest it for retirement and college. I would be able to stop saving for retirement and college and my budget would loosen tremendously.

Pay off our debt including mortgage and quit my day job to really focus on building my freelance/self owned business.

No mortgage or other debts so would invest it according to the allocation I currently use.

I would assume 1/2 wouod go to taxes so I would just use it as a nest egg and keep living my life. I would save it all.

Quit my job. Sell my house. Move to a warmer climate. Go back to grad school. Get a mommy lift. Invest the rest.

Hmm. We are almost 50, our only debt is the mortgage. We drive really old cars though and have two kids approaching college (though we've saved a good bit for that). I would:

1. Consult financial advisor to determine whether it was better to invest at least half of it or pay off the mortgage.
2. Buy 2 new cars, get some new furniture, spruce up the house, redo the kitchen.
3. Take some nice family vacations.

1. I would buy the pre-paid college plan for my own child and my nephew.

2. Pay off all consumer debt.

3. One super vacation

4. Charitable donations to my two favorite charities.

Put some towards college, spend some on home improvements, and just save the rest (maybe $300k).

$300k is close to our mortgage, but the interest rate is less than 4%, so investing the $300k as opposed to paying off the mortgage is probably a better choice.
