..... If you were to suddenly come into a vast sum of wealth?

What thing or things would you be most likely to do first for your Singificant Other (boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance/husband/wife) if you were to come into the possession of a large sum of money. The amount doesn't matter.... $10,000, $1 Million, $100 Million.
 
Pay off her credit cards and hope for a repeat windfall next year. :)
 
I would donate it all to Debatepolitics.com. Wouldn't you? ;)
 
In my case there are a couple of things that I would do for her....

1. Pay for the tutoring necessary for her to get her GED and Driver's License.
2. Get her a decent car to use for her errands.
3. Pay off the couple thousand dollars worth of debt she has built up (mostly due to medical costs for her dog)
4. Set her up in a small photography studio/home business of her own.
 
I'd not tell her. There is no purpose in an addled life IMHO.

Tom doesn't carry any debt and has a pretty good retirement. We live together, so my gain would be his pretty much. No more cutting the grass and shoveling the snow. Beyond that, I'd gift his two children and their spouses the maximum amount every year and set up a college fund for his grandson.
 
I'd get two plane tickets to Italy, and have a romantic vacation, probably take a train to France too.
 
I'd guess I'd cover her Dad's knee surgery.

She's already paid off her student loans, so not much really...
 
i would determine what my wife and I need to live comfortably for the rest of our lives including alot for travel especially to Iggelheim. Then do the same for my children, then our immediate relatives.

If there was anything left over I would put it to some cause which I thought needed a jump start like a school for Aspergers Children from 3rd grade to high school.
 
Assuming the amount is large, I'd pay off his immediate family's debts. We (he and I) are doing fine. His father and mother could both use some help, and I know it would make my boyfriend feel great if we could help them. Once that were taken care of, and once my parents receive the same gift, the rest of the money would go towards our own debts (primarily mortgage and vehicles), 4 years worth of tuition for my boyfriend to complete school, and retirement savings.
 
To answer accurately to the question, it'd all be hers. Everything is.

The thing that comes immediately to mind is his student debt. Like a lot of people my age, he started college just as the recession kicked off and got suckered punched by tuition hikes. Now he's working full time in school to try to stay on top of it. I'd pay that off for him, and the rest of what his education will cost.
 
She's been talking about moving out of her parents' house, so I'd buy her a house of her own. And a new car, since her old one has been giving her problems. If she wanted to quit her current job and go back to college, I would support her for that.

Heh. Mostly, I'd just start paying for things that she normally buys for me, like meals and gasoline.
 
I might surprise her with a trip somewhere as a way of telling her I had gotten the money. We've wanted to go to Hawaii and Italy for awhile now, so probably one of those. Other than that, we're married, and we make major financial decisions as a couple, so we'd decide what to do with the rest together.
