It is the weekend!
If I gave you 1 million dollars right now but the stipulation was you had to spend it all by Sunday afternoon at 3pm what would you do with it?

Pay off my house, which would eat up almost half of that. Buy better cars. Pay for a maid service or life. Pay off my Disney timeshare. But a crapload of stuff for charity and go to Ireland.

Buy two brand new vehicles, new furniture, new wardrobes for everyone, new appliances, a riding lawn mower so that I don't have to push mow ever again, a snow blower, three or four four wheelers, a couple of snowmobiles and a fishing boat for DH, buy lots of home improvement stuff ( carpet, paint, drywall sheets..... all the stuff I've had planned out for a year and a half but don't have the money to complete). Pay for a couple of cruises, and pay off my student loans. I would probably be getting REAL close to spending it all at that point. If I hadn't, by noon on Sunday I would donate the rest to charity.

I'm gonna cheat a little... I'd pay off our car, buy Zach a sweet new motorcycle, both of us go buy new clothes, get brand new skydiving gear, a new dining room table, a new computer, and a king size bed. Oh, and a giant TV and a Wii...  Then I'd put the rest in investments. That way when it comes time for us to buy a house, it'll be there waiting, and will hopefully have grown!
ETA: Oh! And plane tickets to Italy. I want to go so badly...

I would take Dh to Alaska for a nice long vacation. I am torn in fixing up our house (Dh's house was built in the early 1900's) or just build a new house. Fix everything on the farm that needs fixed so Dh wouldn't have to work so much.
I would build a mother-n-law home some where on the farm so his mom could move in there and not be under our feet anymore.

I would pay off my house, pay off DH's truck & school loan, pay off my parents house and give my brother and sister some, whatever was left would go into a savings.

That is a FUN question.
First, I would pay off our all bills online (in seconds!) Lol. That would take about 200,000. Then, I would go buy a new car for DH to drive, prolly the Volt. Then, I would look into buying a house or land in Delaware for my parents, who want to be closer. The rest would go into investments, like Erin. We know we will need money for the future. But even if I could not do investments, I would give a lot to charity, since I know good karma comes back
