Buy a house.
Buy a new car.

ok lets see
I would donate
250k to Bangladesh based charity which will help build schools and provide food
250k to Palestinian Aid, for people who have lost there homes and everything else

250k, buy a house for my family since our current one is not good

the other 250k left over I would pay my tution fees, allocate enough money for both my brothers studies/boarding school/college etc
take driving lessons, and buy a new Astra! oh and a new gaming PC would be nice.

Ok here goes;
-Save enough for my undergraduate, master's, doctorate degrees and other uni expenses.
-Pay off my family's debt.
-Put some into a saving's account for any future family expenses.
-Buy a new, decent, reliable laptop.
-Donate to charities, foundations intermittently.

Give some to charity and set up one, tuition fees, buy my mum a new car and inter-railing. :smile:

I'd probably have loads more money left!

-Send some back home so my parents can a) Clear any debts and b) Move/build an extension
-Invest some into my dad's karate club, so he can do that fulltime (if he wants) and potentially secure a lease somewhere (instead of hiring out halls)

and for myself
-Buy some apple products (I know they're overpriced, but if I can afford it, I'd love to own some haha :smile:

)
-Learn to drive, and buy myself a (new) car once I pass. Nothing too flashy, maybe a mini or something...
-Skiing holiday with bf
-Cruise with family
-Buy a house for myself. Again, just something modest.

Will probably have some left over after that, with which I'd save for the time being and use as a 'luxuries' fund for anything I may want that I'd normally be hesitant to buy. I'd be reluctant to use this left-over, though.. Probably keep some for a rainy day, like if I struggle to get a job after Uni...

Invest it in oil until I have a monopoly on oil stock, flood the market with it for next to nothing so that the market collapses and we can move to a resource-based economy
