I work for a non-profit agency that does good work doing something I absolutely love. I would probably keep working for the 4 weeks notice my contract requires.

During that time I would order some serious IT upgrades for them because non-profit IT departments get the royal shaft. Then I would set up a fund that would guarantee they would have money to keep themselves at a reasonable level of technology for a long time.

After I quit, I would go visit family located all over the US and Canada. Pay off my house and my mom's house and get someone to design and build my dream house. Then a good chunk of it would go into real estate and mutual funds (Slava would be a happy camper!) to be able to sustain a reasonable lifestyle for myself and my family.
