I would take care of myself and my husband first. Sounds selfish, but what good are we to anyone else if we are struggling. The last few years have been VERY hard financially for us (starving student syndrome) so I would get a house, a few dependable vehicles, and put away enough money to live a modest life for a while. Then I would share the wealth with family and friends that need it. I have a few close friends and family members that have been having a hard time and are very deserving of some help. Then I would pick a cause that moved me and put not just money, but time into it. If I could put money aside to live off of, I could devote more of my time to the causes I feel strongly about.
That's it in a nutshell.
