I'd save at least half of it, hehe...but that's just me. I'd put 10K in the bank and pretend I never got it. Then I'd have fun with the other 10K...

So Bubba was from Bayou La Batre, Alabama, and his momma cooked shrimp. And her momma before her cooked shrimp. And her momma before her momma cooked shrimp, too. Bubba's family knew everything there was to know about the shrimpin' business.

If you have kids or plan on having kids invest in their future. I envy the family's that come from old money and the next generation has a solid foundation to make something out of their lives instead of struggling and having to build from nothing all the time.

As much as I need to take my own advice listen to your wife as it may come in handy later in the years when you may have a lot more money saved for a comfortable living after the main money making years are over. Would suck to downgrade from an AMG when all that modding money could have kept you in a stock one at least.
