Wow, such great answers! They all seem to have one central theme...use the money, don't pay down the mortgage. Steve, I agree with you, the stock market is no place to be these days. Reverett, at first I thought your advice about real estate was not for me, which is odd, considering I am a real estate agent! But because I'm in the business, I see all the hassles landlords have and I've always thought, not for me. But duh, I never thought of a management company and double duh, my company partners with one. And triple duh, my area is relatively healthy with reasonable prices. Sooo, I have a lot to think about. I'll never again have this munch money in my life so I want to make the best use of it as possible. Jaye, thanks very much for the great links! I haven't had time to check them out yet but I most certainly will.
See? I knew I went to the right place!
