quit my job - because I would be able to pay off all of MY debt & still have some $ left. I basically only work right now to pay my debt. DH takes care of all other expenses.

I'd set up a trust so that my father's widow wouldn't have to worry about money. Then I'd put a chunk aside for my baby's education, and a big chunk to finish our emergency savings. Then I'd get a financial planner to help us do whatever with the rest.
But I'd take a few thousand and go on a huge shopping spree.

Pay off all debts, invest/save a bunch of it, then get me and the hubby some nice clothes! We practically live in work and lounge clothes since we hardly go out due to our work schedules.

A million dollars won't go far here. I would buy our dream home, buy us new cars. After selling off our current home I would also buy some investment property. Then, stash away a safe amount for LO's college and save the rest.

Is that 1mil after or before tax?
Pay off the house, then invest what little is left.

Pay off debt then invest the rest!
But of course I'd also do a little splurge... something along the lines of jewelry and handbags.

I'd buy a cute house with a yard in our neighborhood! I'd also splurge on some new furniture. The rest of the money I'd save -- some for the future, some for an awesome vacation.

I'd quit my current job and finish my Master's full-time so I could graduate early. Buy a house in the neighborhood next to ours that I love but won't buy in because we'd have to send the kids to private school. Then I'd save/invest the rest and send the kids to private school! Also, probably take my whole family on a vacation somewhere for fun. Oh, and buy a bigger car/sell my current one because I want a minivan or SUV when we have a third child down the road.

Pay off all of our debts, buy two new cars with cash, put enough money away to pay for LOs college, invest a chunk, and then go shopping (re-decorate my house, buy a new wardrobe)!!!

I'm with @Minnie_Girl: I've run this scenario through my head a few times, and hiring a financial planner is at the top of the list. Now only if we played the lotto . . .

I would pay off my student loan and then buy us a small family home in a nice area... Then I would invest the rest (wouldn't be much leftover though).

Ugh. My first instinct is to quit my job and go on a 6 month vacation (and then get another job when I return), but realistically we'd probably pay off my student loans and 2 cars, sell our condo and buy a house and pay it off immediately. Although I don't know if $1m could pay off a whole house around here so we'd probably just put like 60% toward a down payment.
