Truth is...it is your money, but 20K is not alot for the things you need and want to do. You obviously have an obligation to the wife and her needs; her fam incl. As for this kids, you even have an obligation to them as well. As you know, parental duties never end, even though they're in college and on their own way.
My suggestion - do a bit of all with saving being your first option. Put almost 50% to savings (for you and the wife's future); get the roof fixed (like the wife said, but bargain hunt) and perhaps sell if the market there can help you turn a profit; start the house wing project (sale money supplements); and save for the mods (maybe part of the profit from the sale can supplement the savings for mods). Notice the C63 mods are last, but not forgotten as your wants do have relevance. Again - the money is yours, but address your needs first, and include your wants when reasonable and feasible. If you have ot drop the initial savings amount, I wouldn't go below 40% depending on the house wing costs. Constrcution costs in Alabama are cheap now, right?

I think your first instincts are probably are probably the ones to go with, there being no "right" or "wrong" in this issue. But spending 25% on yourself...no problem at all from my perspective...so my answer is "Yes."

You have some serious maturity issues then my friend. Going by the many wacky posts you have made on this forum about running from the cops and other things, I thought you were a mid 20's kid.
Or maybe its something else....
