Interesting answers. While interest alone could potentially close living expenses, this is not enough to really expand your wings.

Here is what I would do.

1. Make a downpayment for my own place. $50,000 for example.

2. Set $250,000 aside (interest bearing account). Preferrably in a European bank since they give better interest. Interest will help cover the mortgage.

2. Invest about $400-600K in various businesses. I will never put all eggs in one basket.

3. The rest will repay all the loans me and my girlfriend owe. Buy gifts for my loved ones and take a few trips to places I wanted to visit.

4. Take the HostingDiscussion team to a nice all-paid trip!
