Land and house investment is definitely a good idea. And also to treat myself, I'd spend a chuck of it on a badass classic sports or muscle car.

Dude, bank it. Take whatever percentage of it you want to, to have fun, then bank the rest of it and let it grow. Even at the worst interest rate, even your average savings account will make it grow. If it's a shitload? Invest it in Defense stocks and Pharmaceuticals involving Diabetic drugs and Alzheimers drugs.

Why not go to school and then get a kick ass job? Then you could buy a bunch of Harleys.

Fuck yeah! That's awesome, can't complain with that at all.

The investment idea Remo thru out is a good idea too. That way whatever happens down the road, there's still some cash just chilling there with your name on it.

Step 1: Hire a financial consultant / accountant / investment planner / lawyer to help you decide what to do. Spending $300-1000 now could save (or make) you a bundle later.
