pay my debts, a full medical workup, some minor dentistry, then invest wisely after getting some financial advice from a professional advisor because I don’t really know what I’m doing.

Buy a bowling center.

There are a number of people I would need to say “fuck you “ to

Buy a nice reasonably big house, set money aside for my kid, buy a new car, help people close to me. In this order.

Finish the home remodel. Then try to find the best approach to handle riches I guess. Taking care of the kids, getting them towards an exiting life. Support my wife with her entrepreneurial dreams. Make sure my mom is well.

Go back to school start taking classes that actually interests me, instead of for a stable job.

I’ll pay all my debts and that of my parents and then start a new life in Hawaii

First thing I would do? Without question a year-long holiday. I haven't had more than a few days off at a time for over five years.

Besides debt and housing I would just take my partner on a lot of trips and buy her a lot of gifts. It’s been a rough few years health-wise for her and it would be great to treat her.

I'd pay my debts first and then travel.

Pay the new car I just signed for, buy a teardrop trailer and go camping out in Europe.

Pay everyone in my building several years' expected pay to quit all at once, except for one specific manager that everybody hates.

That's a trick question. After the end of civilization as we know it, no amount of money will do anyone any good, and that end seems imminent. There will be no such thing as “fuck you” money; there will only be “might makes right”, and I am far from mighty.

ow the edge

That took a dark turn, you might be right though

Pay my parents retirement.

I'd probably just fuck myself.

Reminds me of a quote from the TV Show Billions.

“What’s the point of having ‘fuck you’ money, if you never say fuck you?”

  • Bobby Axelrod, Billions.

However to your question, live life the way I want. Simple as that.

I'd buy an old Land Rover series 2 or old Land Cruiser and drive around the high desert looking for shiny rocks.
