ok ok let me just summerize.

Move to florida, get house.

Get established there, bills sent, passport and ID/Liscence changed over.

Go to college.

Become freelance Illustrator/GD untill something stable comes along.

Send mom lots of cash to help fix up thier house, and hopefully let her freakin retire.

Logic also dictates that bank would give customers with large deposits such as 1 mill a prefered rate in order to get and maintain thier bussness.

Not if they're keeping it in your average savings account. Interest rates on those are always rock bottom because you retain the ability to withdraw it at any time.

Once you start removing the liquidity, that's where the better interest rates come from, and when you've got lots of money, you can freeze some of it to capitalize on that, and that's why people with lots of money get better returns. In fact, while a million bucks is nothing, I'd be surprised if a bank would even let you keep a billion dollars in an unrestricted account (the FDIC would probably have something to say about it) -- certainly it'd be stupid to do so since there are better investments for money you're not currently using than just sticking it in a bank account.

This of course begs the question: in exactly what could have invested, had you not stuck it all in?

Clothes, College, a highly economic car, a beefy civic engine to plop in my Geo Metro, and a complete refurbish of my 74 Ranchero.

Most likely I'd get distracted and end up with a million dollars worth of clothes.

Oh, it just hit me, I'd definitely get a jet-powered toilet with cushioned seat and recliner functions. Because you know, when you're done, you just want to sit and catch up on events.

If I had a million dollars, I'd find some way to turn it into even more money, and get started on my Space Ninja Monkey Battle Cruiser World Domination Plan (SNMBCWDP).

Seriously though, I'd do exactly what Bloodsage said. Invest the money carefully over a longer period of time.

Give my parents enough to pay off the mortgage, get my car repainted/banged back into shape, pay for college tuition, invest the rest.
The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

if you think about it, you haven't really met him in the strictest sense.

besides, maybe he's just pretending to be a metrosexual.
