Probably this exactly
Planned Executed
~ Pay off this house and move the hell out into one that we can all fit in.
~ Start a college fun for my step kids and my twin nieces.
~ Help FIL pay off the mortgage on his house and then tear it down. Lord, that place is falling apart. It would be easier to start over.
~ Help my friends that may have to move to Wisconsin STAY in MN. I don't want them to have to go.
~ Send my mom to Australia. It's the ONE place she wants to go and my step dad doesn't get that she wants it THAT much.
~ Help MIL pay off her bills and get her financially stable.
And yes, I would do all of this first. Each thing is as equally important as the next thing listed.
It's almost here! Weeeeeeee!

Yep, I agree. I'd have a list of things as well.

I like this game
I'd pay off all our debt, hand out large sums to our immediate family members and travel travel travel!
When we got home I'd build a house and get new cars.
- pay off our debt, including student loans
- buy a house
- give money to the parents, who totally deserve it!
Pay off ALL our debt!
Set aside money for the children's college funds so they don't have student loans like I'm dealing with
Give IL's a chunk of change because they need it!
Pay off brothers student loans from his 8 years in college
Pay off my parents house and their business loan
Buy a wakeboard boat, a really fast one with big speakers!
Buy H a Shelby Mustang
Buy a ton of shoes!
Pay my parent's complete remaining mortgage off. Fix up their house or tear it down and let them rebuild their dream house.
Buy my dad his dream car.
Pay off the current remaining balance on the truck.
Buy a new family car.
Put aside a lot of money for my school bills.
Set up large CDs to generate more wealth that close on rotating dates (such as every four years).
Donate a couple million to be used specifically for the preservation/programs at Point Reyes (near and dear to my heart!).
Buy my mom her Alaskan dream cruise.
Help his parents pay off their remaining mortgage balance.
Give each of my sisters small fortunes to do with as they wished.
Give my best friend a small fortune so that she can SAH with her daughter, which is her dream. She's not a flake mother but rather an amazing one and she deserves to be home with her daughter.
Set up a college fund for my god-daughter.
Help my god-daughter get the surgery she needs but isn't affordable to her parents.
Wow. That's a lot. All of these things are pretty important to me. I hope that someday I'll be in a position to help with each of these things in some way or another. As for why I didn't mention a college fund for my son: his Indian tribe has him covered. In full.
- Pay off all of mine and H's debt
- Pay off my parents' debt and mortgage (Same for IL's)
- Buy a new car
And many more things but that's what is on my mind at the moment.
