But covering all that would make you feel pretty good though huh! I get your point though. A million quid would be wasted on me, but for someone a bit younger it would smooth a lot of aches and pains and open up new opportunities rather than giving licence to sink slowly into decrepitude.

Id probably just tell people if it came up in conversation like “what did you do this weekend” “I actually just won £1m!” most people don’t ask what I did this weekend though so it’d probably not come up.

I’d tell my parents as I value their counsel and they want for nothing so i know their advice would be in my best interests. I wouldn’t want to tell anyone else because people can turn into absolute twats where money is concerned, no matter what they may have been like before.

Remember that £6.90 can you bought on your gf’s birthday

#138

Of course! Mainly cos it wasn’t as good as the £8 one I bought earlier that evening.

I’d buy a jetpack so I could fly to work.

I think that a lot of people don’t realise that quitting their job would alienate them from a lot of their friends and acquaintances just because of the lifestyle change. Plus who is your new peer group? The high fliers won’t give a fuck about you because your money ain’t earned and you have no clout. You’d at best be a hanger on.

Phone the local hotel and tell them to book me a table for 2 for the Sunday carvery.

#143

You assume I don’t want to be alienated, and also that I want to hang around with rich people. Nope, just me, the dogs, and my indoor shooting range/bar.

#144

That’s why you don’t tell anyone and just hang out with mates as normal.

“How was your week CHAIRMAN_LMAO”
“Oh mate, non-stop. My boss. What. A. Wanker”
“Have you had a manicure?”
“Er… no…”

Tell no-one. If asked say you came into an unexpected bit of money from a childless uncle who died recently. Easy.

pay off the mortgage
speak to a financial advisor
quit the day job and live off the interest, which even at a relatively low risk 4% return, be enough to live off at my current level of spending

Its dull but not having to work would mean more time to make music, ride my bike, read books, cook/bake.

No mortgage frees up money for city breaks and holidays or to save up to pay for some classes to learn something.

buy house, then live off the interest or rent forever cos you have enough capital to do so and it would make it easier to move around?

#150

I like where I live and would want the security you don’t really get with rolling contracts and that… but yeah… I’d rather live like now but with more free time than live like a playboy for a year or two :man_shrugging:
