Or a bank in the United States. Our dollar sucks, our government is dumb, and I really don't foresee a great change in the future. At least, in part, thanks to the mentality and sheep called citizens.

Assuming this is a million AFTER the IRS has their way with it...not before...

I'd probably invest 100-150k of it in foreign currencies.

I'd buy a nice house, nothing over the top, but something with a little land, maybe an acre or two, wouldn't need much really. Let's say 500-650k for this.

With the remaining money I'd probably furnish the house, buy myself a truck and a new car for better half - and take a trip. Anything remaining would go in bank account.

I'd keep my job, I wouldn't retire - but I would live comfortably. Would only have to pay property taxes and misc bills here and there. With no house payment that frees up a lot of money every month. I wouldn't want to live extravagant but I would live comfortably.
