$5MM before or after taxes? If it's before, take another 40% off that figure, so you are left with "ONLY" $3MM . . . .
I'd pay off whatever debt we had, fund college and grad school for the kids, buy a vacation home, and be certain that my parents and my wife's mom would be comfortable for the rest of their lives.
Because the investment real estate market is somewhat fickle these days, I would be hard pressed to place a significant amount of cash in real estate. I would likely consider tax free investments, live off the interest, and still have the principal at the end of the day.
I wouldn't quit working, but I would certainly change my work habits and do only the type of work for which I have a passion.
