Isn't this the fantasy Whoo-Hoo!?!
1) Immediately change my phone number to something unlisted. Lay low. Set up an anonymous trust and send the attorney to collect the funds in the trust's name to leave my name outta it! Invest a great portion of it to generate interest so there would always be a steady income.
2) Pay off all bills, mortgages, student loans. Give this house to brother-in-law and we would move. Buy a big ranch in Santa Fe area and a beach house in Mendocino or Carmel-by-the-Sea.
3) Quit job... Well, I work part-time, so I'd just work no-time and shift my bizzy-ness to other interests. Perhaps open up a dog biscuit shop or have an egg booth at the weekend farmers market, but definitely spend more time raising veggies and gardening on the hobby farm. Let husband quit job to pursue new careeer opportunities, if he wants. (Note to Husby: Sitting on the beach in Mendocino is NOT a career)
4) Most definitely. At $133M post taxes I could throw a chunk o' change to needy family (several have recently lost jobs and struggling with mortgages) and set up trusts to take care of college for the kids, etc. I would pay off all my siblings' mortgages and make it very clear that we're NOT their yearly benefactors. We're trying to keep Mom out of the old folks home, so get her a butler/driver and chef.
5) My ranch in Santa Fe area would look like a zoo... A few trail horses, mini goats and lots and lots and lots of chickens. I'd start breeding my own layers...and, of course, get a REALLY fancy incubator.
6) Split the time between Santa Fe area and seashore, with lots of interesting vacations. Definitely move to someplace with NO CC&R's or HOA's.
7) I would set up a couple of charitable foundations. I would also hire my sister to run interference for me as I'm kind of a private person and wouldn't want to be hounded by hand-outers. And arrange for a big all-expenses-paid family reunion at some fun spot. Have the ultimate dream kitchen....(Note to Husby: Fancy stove's purpose is not to be used solely for heating up takeout).
