I would pay off the house and use the rest to do a few necessary improvements before we sell it.

diversify - invest some, pay off more of our house, put some in the 529, use some to renovate and decorate our home, and go on vacay with whatever remains.

I'm jealous of all you people who don't have to immediately throw it on the everlasting bonfire of debt.

Very nice!!
I would pay off our cars, use some for a nice down payment, buy some new furniture and clothes, and take a kick ass vacation to Europe!

Buy DH a new (to us) car. 10% to our church. Add to our emergency fund and our house down payment fund and the rest into retirement savings.

Pay off student loans. Put some away for a down payment on a house. Plan a trip to Anguilla for when the Nugget gets here

We'd save most of it. But I would take a small bit of it for shopping and/or a trip.

Pay down DH's student loans (this wouldn't even cover it...) or use for a home downpayment (and this wouldn't even necessarily cover that either...ugh)

Put half down as an additional down payment on a house we're trying to buy and invest the other half.

1) Set aside a good chunk for DS
2) Pay off my car payment
3) Build out a room/access to the balcony which currently isn't accessible. Dumb.
4) Save the rest.

Pay off all of our student loans! ($60k+) then probably invest the rest!
I would keep our mortgage since our interest rate is only 3.375% and I'm positive investing the rest of the money would be much more beneficial!

Pay off consumer debt, but not before adding to it a little more with some shopping.
Contribute to my IRA.
Split the rest in long term savings and then pad the rest in short/term savings- current funds.
