I'd quit work. If that sounds crass, so be it. I'd quit my job. We'd work with a financial advisor/planner.
But the first thing? I'd set up a local cat shelter. Around here, I think that cats tend to get the short end of the stick and, if we had the money, we'd do what we could to help. That would be first and foremost.
We'd help my sister and brother and their families, our son and his family, trusts for the grands, and Rick's sister and her family. I know Rick would want to make a donation to his church and we would make a donation to our vet.
Other than some work on our house, though, I don't know that we'd do much. We really don't need new cars. We might do a bit traveling (with the cats.....we can't travel without them, now can we??).
