Do you have any debt? My first inclination is to live debt free. Pay down any debt you might have and determine to never borrow again.
My second inclination is to donate the first 10% to a church or cause that you believe in, save at least 10% (an Index fund), and then enjoy the rest of that money one something that is life-giving and a good for you.
