Pay off the wedding, start a bakery and move back to New England.  The rest would be invested into something smart.

Pay off my student loans/finish school. Then work on a fully sustainable urban house somewhere that is not Florida. Pay off my mom and dads debts and then invest what's left / attempt to buy a panda.

1:  Pay off all debt (mortgage, etc).
2:  Set up a high yielding, low risk investment for Abigail.
3:  Set up a high yielding, low risk investment for retirement.
4:  Make a high dollar donation to the Jimmy Fund.
5:  I have friends that just spent all their savings on an IVF that failed.  I make a mysterious deposit of $40,000 into their account so they can keep trying to obtain their dream of becoming parents.

That would be one helluva commute on game days...

1.  Tithe to my church
2.  Pay off my credit cards
3.  Buy a new car
4.  Buy a nice house fully furnished (including a rumpus room)
5.  Set Daniel (Lil Tommy) up with a trust fund.  He can't touch it till he finishes high school, then it can only be used for college expenses.  Once he either turns 25 or finishes college (whichever comes first), he can have it.
6. Put the rest in a high interest savings or money market account.

i'd buy 3 motorcycles:  a honda goldwing, a custom chopper from the chopper shop down the street, and the best crotch rocket i can find.  

then, i'd make a down payment on a modest, but nice, house (in jersey, thats prob 2x $$$ what you're thinking of).  then, the rest goes in an IRA for retirement and will probably yield at LEAST 30x what the original principle was after 40 years or so.

We did IVF.  It is a very emotional, as well as financial, roller coaster ride. I have serious sympathy for people undergoing this process. There is a whole lot of drugs, emotions, and hormones wrapped up into a financial pit fall. Fortunately, we ended up with twins on our last try!

1) I would tithe.
2) pay off debt  
3) Invest for retirement and college  funds
4) vacation across America in a rolling turd
5) anonymously help support a few families of single mothers.  
6) start up a business

For me, its pretty easy...

I'd pay off my mortgage, car loan, boat loan, and Sportschick's car loan.
I'd pay off my mom's CC debts
I'd buy my mom a new car

...and then...

I'd take a month off and go to one game at every baseball stadium in America.

Then wait 5 or 6 months and do it again, but replace "baseball" with "football"

Going to every football stadium for a game will take you the better part of two seasons.... assuming you can make a couple playoff games.
