    1. Surgery, fixing my phisical disability with the best doctor money can pay.
    2. Instruction, get the most forward education to be sure my future is safe even without money.
    3. Buying house, investing in a second as well.
    4. Hire someone to make that money a machine to keep earning more.
    5. Take a luxury trip around the world for some years.

    A new laptop and that’s it. No need to make dramatic changes in my life, I’ll keep the rest of the money stashed so I can live comfortably and not have to worry about financial troubles.

    A house close to nature with a big garden for the kids and plane tickets to Europe to visit my parents with our 5 months old.

    I would buy a helicopter, and hire a back country pilot to fly me to every mountain peak and glacier in my area

    I would most likely fix my bad bite. The older I get I feel like it’s causing more and more problems.

    Probably wouldn’t change anything until I graduate.

    I’d do a bomb-ass charity donation this winter for my local charity Christmas gift drive through. Probably dress up like Santa Claus to go turn them in too.

    Edit: oh also I’d obviously pay off all my parents debts, (house, cars, etc) and set them up with 10-20M for retirement so they can just start now. And I’d pay for my siblings’ college funds and set up trusts for them and any of their potential future kids so they have financial security for the rest of their lives. There’s also some cool teachers and other folks I’d set up for life too.

    Probably pay off the condo. Maybe do some upgrades.

    Travel with my wife somewhere for a 2 week long vacation.

    Throw the rest in savings.

        I mean, I won’t have much leftover after paying off my condo. I live in a very expensive city.

        Plus, you never know what you need money for down the line. Maybe my heating will need replacement. Maybe I lose my job. Maybe a family member will need professional care, like a home attendant. Or maybe I’ll take another vacation next year. Who knows.

        $500K is not a crazy amount of money. It’s certainly enough to dramatically improve my life. But not enough for me to stop working, or buy stupid things - or anything like that

    200k in a high interest savings account. 100k in stocks and shares. 200k into a property

    • A nice house (preferably just barely outside the range of a strict HOA neighborhood so I can break all their rules and not have any repercussions and also so I don’t gotta live in an apartment or rental home no more)

    • Pay for the next quarter of college (so that I don’t have to worry about financial aid and whether or not I have fucked up on that)

    • A ref sheet commission for my fursona from my absolute favorite furry artist (because I just want one)

    • Using the ref sheet, I’d commission a very expensive fursuit from a maker that does premium high quality fursuits (again, because I want one)

    • Upgrading my computer and laptop for both school and for every day use would also be nice as well since I’d finally be out of the macrohard ecosystem and into the Linux ecosystem (unless I need windows for something in which I’d have a sandboxed VM running a heavily pre-modified copy of win10)

    $500,000,000? I would probably donate like 475m at least cause I’m not a fucking monster that would hoard the level of wealth. Then live more than comfortably off the money you get for having money until I die and pass that fountain of youth on to another family member.

    Lots of different stock so I can be a proper capitalist living from passive income.

    Then see how much of an income that is and adjust lifestyle.

    A house or nice apartment in this town. Private school for kids. Great bicycles. Still no car. BahnCard 100 for every family member.

    Reinvest and donate the rest.

    Well, first of all, I’d throw half of it into that project trying to create open source insulin.

    After that: co-ops, co-ops, co-ops, and more co-ops! And some random open source / decentralized projects as well.
