Pay off my house. Put money away for my kids to go to college. Set up a fund for some of my students who are less fortunate that have potential to go to college.

Don't they already have one?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Finish my education. Pay my debts (and some of my family's debts). Buy some property. Create a commune near a reputable (but not ivy league) university.
The commune would be for disenfranchised intellectuals.
Buy a house in the woods. In that house, write a book.

I'd upgrade my car (to a *newer* second-hand Toyota), upgrade my alto clarinet (probably spending twice as much on that than on the car, around $15K), finish all outstanding house renovations, and give a bit away. Then I'd sit around puzzled for a while as I tried to think of something else I actually wanted/needed.

Same thing I'm already doing, just bigger.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
