First thing I would do? Without question a year-long holiday. I haven't had more than a few days off at a time for over five years.

I'd pay my debts first and then travel.
There are a number of people I would need to say “fuck you “ to
I’d buy the condo my wife and I are renting. We really love it and the owner wants to sell it, but our monthly payment would almost triple.
Id also get a modest car, like a Corolla and a house in the countryside.
I guess this is not too wild, so I guess I’d also by a server rack to selfhost random stuff.
Relax.
Buy a house I like better. Get some large windows, better insulation throughout the house, some small degree of soundproofing between first and second floor, and pay for some serious landscaping in our yard.
Buy a bowling center.
Besides debt and housing I would just take my partner on a lot of trips and buy her a lot of gifts. It’s been a rough few years health-wise for her and it would be great to treat her.
I’ll pay all my debts and that of my parents and then start a new life in Hawaii
That's a trick question. After the end of civilization as we know it, no amount of money will do anyone any good, and that end seems imminent. There will be no such thing as “fuck you” money; there will only be “might makes right”, and I am far from mighty.
ow the edge
That took a dark turn, you might be right though
Reminds me of a quote from the TV Show Billions.
“What’s the point of having ‘fuck you’ money, if you never say fuck you?”
- Bobby Axelrod, Billions.
However to your question, live life the way I want. Simple as that.
Go back to school start taking classes that actually interests me, instead of for a stable job.
I'd probably just fuck myself.
Finish the home remodel. Then try to find the best approach to handle riches I guess. Taking care of the kids, getting them towards an exiting life. Support my wife with her entrepreneurial dreams. Make sure my mom is well.
Pay my parents retirement.
Pay everyone in my building several years' expected pay to quit all at once, except for one specific manager that everybody hates.
Pay the new car I just signed for, buy a teardrop trailer and go camping out in Europe.
