    Get builders/decorators in to do various home improvements
    Pay off mortgage
    New nice things (computer, iPhone etc)
    My wife would stop working (teaching in the UK right now is mega stressful)
    I'd keep working (programming is fun!)
    Mostly save

    Pay off student loan debts
    Pay off sister's student loan debts.
    Pay off general family debts (mortgage/credit cards)

    After that I suppose I have a couple hundred thousand left. Save and invest, it's no where near enough to retire on at my age, but things would be vastly more comfortable.

    Not really lol.

    I'd prolly want to help my brother... but if I help him, id have to help my 2 sister in laws if needed due to "fairness." Despite both of them burning through money like hot cakes and creating their own problems while my brother works for the Salvation army lol.

    I'd prolly help my mother on the DL... but she isn't someone I could dump a bunch of cash on and go "there you go, life fixed." She would end up right where she started all over again. That is just the blunt truth.

    Sounds like my mom. If it wasn't for my brother and I handling her finances, she would have run out of money a long time before she passed away. She got better the longer dad was gone. Much worse was the fear of the doctor thing that many people of her generation had. It wasn't like she couldn't afford it. She just hated the medical profession. She did trust her care givers, though. They were very good people and were free lancers, not affiliated with a professional organization.

    The only way you can help someone who would whittle money away is to set up a trust for them so they can't do that.
