3) House in Zephyr Hills
4) 3 of everything in that safe, and 3 safes to keep them in.

First I would give back to my family for all they have done for me. I would want a modest home nothing fancy. I am a country girl. I don't do fancy. I would want a place where I could have a garden and grow my own food. I would want a 4x4 vehicle to get me around in the winter time. That is about it.
Buy a nice piece of land with a nice but not extravagant home on it. New vehicles for the wife and me, a new motorcycle, a couple of atv's, and 3 of everything in the safe, and 3 safes to keep it all in.
Then, I'd help out the inlaws and my family some.
Then invest the rest where it will "make" money to insure I never have to work again.

I'd by myself a nice, used truck, build a range, and keep the rest for retirement.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

1) Pay off the house
2) Get the Suburban into body shop for stripping and repainting
3) Take my boys to a Texans game.
4) "Bank" the rest.
