1) Pay off my student loans.

2) Send my parents on a cruise to Alaska. (We didn't have a lot of money when I was a kid, and they sacrificed so much so my sister and I could do things like dance lessons, even though we couldn't really afford it.)

3) Buy a house. Nothing fancy, just an average house, probably $150-200K.

4) Invest the rest. And live like I didn't have it, I would still try to live off whatever salary/wages I was making from working.
