hrm thats pretty conservative with a sudden cash prize of 1.5 mil my life would not change one bit. I would pay off a couple loans, and thats it.. rest goes in the 'bank' for retirement. With a cash prize of 5 mil, I would immediately buy a black Gallardo roadster w/ black wheels and a white 911 GT3. I said before I wouldn't move, but I think now I definitely would. CT isn't exactly a great place to live. I'd stick the rest in the 'bank'.. with a modest 5% you would make $250k/year pre-tax.

Hmm let's see... I would pay off my S2000 shop for a new car, pay off all my bills, buy some land and put a race course on it, insure it, and rent it out. I then would put some in a savings account, invest the rest so I could make more money, tell the people I work for that "I just bought you biattttch" now YOU get to work and don't be late! Travel a little, then spend alot of time enjoying life because you only get one and most of us will die by the time we are 60 and that only leaves me 23 years!

is that a statistic or what is that? I always read the obits for whatever reason and there do seem to be a lot of people kicking over at under 60..... I thought the average males lives to be 75 or something like that?

I am 37 also.... time to live for me too.

Buy a few cars that I like (maybe 3 or 4), go to many trips, buy an island in the middle of no where, buy a nice house up in Whistler, open up a place to sell chicken wings and seafood right by a nice beach

Definitely leave the states though.
