I think the only thing it would affect is where we live... I do think a lot of it would be donated. Money is just not so wonderfully important in my life. You know, I may get a few new guns, but that would have nothing to do with my relationship, other than maybe we could build a pistol range...

Money does not corrupt.
Many people are corrupt.
Period
I would take that money and me and my honey would travel to the strangest but most magical places on earth.
We would also build a beautiful log cabin out in the forest far far away...maybe in Tasmania
That would leave you with about 1 million. After private school tuitions and a lavish vacation (assuming it's lavish), that doesn't leave much to live off for the rest of your life.
I would definitely donate a nice portion, but not 90%.
A recent news report spoke of Apple having their best year in the states, profits were through the roof. iPhone and iPad sales were crazy. During a supposed recession in which the whining during the political theater was endless. The base standard of living in this country is so high, expectations so high, I fear this economy will never recover. I could invest a million and pay for education and a vacation with interest to spare. I certainly would not just quit work and be a lazy ***, getting fat.
