Pay off a house or two ($300K each, max), buy two or three cars (probably an FX35 for the wife, since that's what she wants, and a 2002 NSX for daily driving for me, and an Acura TL for long distance driving or bad weather), and use up the remaining to start my own business.

That would only take $1M (give or take $100K), so I'd put most of the rest in fairly conservative investments.

I'd buy 6 Hungry Howies Pizza franchises.

What would you do?
Married with no kids and annual income of $150k (before tax ?) are more than enought to live on. If I suddently get $2 million I would move from Cincinnati to warmer area and invest most if not all of it in real estates, stocks, municipal bonds ...

finance a yearly adventure trip for my good friends and I. studies constantly show that money spent of experiences far outweight any material item.

It would go a little like this:

1. Pay off house being built (25%)
2. Buy more cars (25%)
3. Invest (25%)
4. Help other people out 25%

All of those would make me really, really happy...

I'd buy an Exige for fun, some kinda AWD truck for the daily and winter duties, and throw a killer party.

The rest would be tucked away in some nice income earning securities.
