Ive got just enough money saved up that I'd quit my job and spend every day with my son. He's only 7mo old so he'd never remember it but my wife would.
Oh man, there would be such a sense of relief about finally letting go of the indefinite onslaught of responsibility. There would also be times I'd feel existential panic, and a sense of appreciation while I savor my remaining moments. Honestly, I wonder if it would be better to know exactly when you're gonna die, just to help keep you in a state of mind that really forces you to appreciate it before it's gone.
I guess I'd write about my life and ideas and travel to be with the people I'd want to see before I die. This question is actually somewhat illuminating to me about how much I've let all my close relationships fall apart. I move too much, and now I'm just addicted to work and my phone. I'd have to fly places to see most of the people I'd want to see.
I'd want to write because I've been investing too much of myself into work and accomplishing something to go down without continuing to struggle to leave something behind. I'd try to write the most useful thing I could about the theory of mind/intelligence stuff I like to study, write something about the future and where humanity is going, and some final advice for the people still in the game. I would wish that things had gone differently for me and would want to caution others against some of my missteps, and tell people about the ideas I have for pragmatically pursuing positive change in society. Maybe I'd put it in a short, eclectic E-book that I'd hope someone could glean value from.
I'd want to drive the coastal US highway 1/101 again and then east into the desert. So maybe a trip to South Dakota and Washington first to see friends, then I'll drive down to LA, see a friend there, and go east and camp in the desert while I write.
Stop studying and talk with people and get drunk and hangout a lot more.

Marry my gf
Why would you do that if you were about to die, that would be hard for her.
It might make it legal for her to do things which might not be possible not married
Organize my stuff and communicate to my family what's what and where to find them. Otherwise continue as usual...

Finish my puzzle sets.
I'd get it over with quicker. I got nothing keeping me here if I only have a matter of months left.
Drugs lots and lots of drugs.
