I can't believe you actually found people that WOULDN'T keep it. Damn.

If that was me? I'd STFU, and spend the crap out of it. I am out to do for my family, not the old hag that sold me the house.

You open two accounts. A checking and a savings. You drop 90k in the savings and 10k in the checking. Then you shut up go on with life. The money pool will be there to be tapped when you want. Only problem is you'd have to use it on the little stuff. Not little stuff as in start buying name brand instead of usually getting store brand... More medium stuff, I guess you could say. Like go that couch you always look at when you walk buy it in the mall. You know, with the back massager. Or a nice ring for your best gal. Things like that. Do not buy a car. Do not buy a house. Do not buy a boat. Do not buy a jetpack. Things that big attract attention. Gotta use it on the little things that make life better. That way, you make your life rock just a little bit harder and nobody's got their eyes on you. Also, dropping 90% of the money in savings in an important part. Drop it all in just the checking account, all you've got is 100k. But in a savings account? The interest you make off 90k will insure that 100k goes a little farther than just 100k.

You sound like you've done this before. :-?

I think the worst part would be trying to spend it and keeping it under the radar. The tax man would feel he needs his share if he were to find out.

I would donate 50k to a wolf sanctuary, spend 30k on college, and have 20k leftover for later in life when I need it.

100k huh?............. Finders keepers. I agree, even so........I would spend it resonably, little by little.....put 40 000$ in the bank, for it to gather interest, buy a new car, and be happy... still work normal hours, and have fun....
