    Put at least 75% of it in a good 12-18% mutual fund so I could live off the interest...(and for kids college, etc)

    then the rest spend on a new car, house, websites, etc...

    I would live off the interest and go to some adventures fun. I know I wouldn't be sitting in front of my computer all day. I love the out doors - hiking,swimming,skiing,etc....
