Born Hunter 17,626 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I wish..... but f**k it, it's friday afternoon! Anyway, I think most of us occasionally fantasise about winning a life changing sum. Fat chance but we can dream. What would you do? Just £1M (or 1M salmonds )..... is that retirement money these days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 That's simple. I'd do what I've always said I'd do. I'd buy the two big fields below here. So I could put my horses on them for the " Summer ". Don't really know what I'd do with the rest. Buy f**king bird traps, knowing me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Stick it in the bank and you'd only get 25 grand a year to live on. Spend it and it would run out soon enough. Not sure that's enough to retire on early if you still have a mortgage and kids and want to just live on teh interest. You'd have to stick it in a managed fund with all the risks that come with it. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Had this discussion before. Think I'd spend 400k on a house, 100k on an F-Type and Landy, invest 4-500k (possibly in rental properties) and drop to a 3 day week so I can enjoy what I have a bit more.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smithie 2,427 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 as its not nessesery to leave a house for your kids once you passed away as all can afford to buy and those that wont work still get housed i would spend it..ALL. buy house and land as far from everybody as i could get and enjoy life. i dont need extravagent things but if i had money i would buy everything i wanted:) given the above i think if i die wi 10k in the bank i wasted it as its done nothing for me so spend spend spend would be my moto.. live for today cos tomorrow might not come Quote Link to post Share on other sites
