coke
hookers
booze
gambling
then waste the rest!!

seriously tho, pay off mortgage, then bank the rest for now.

A Mil these days isn't enough to retire on, but it can fund a very comfortable lifestyle for the rest of your natural if invested and spent wisely.

I'm 24 I couldn't get away with retiring if I won a million, I'd be too bored plus the money wouldn't last,

I just can not comprehed how someone can be bored in this world. So what you are saying is your are bored at weekends and go to work so you are not bored?

But really, given the freedom of the planet you would be bored if you did not have your 9-5 job. Baffled

Clone braindead versions of myself so i had 'spare parts' in the freezer.

I might also clone a few FHM honeys too.

I go to work on the weekends when I want to earn more money and when I don't already have plans, not when I'm bored. If I'm bored I'll do something about it, I just can't see that retiring at 24 then trying to make £1 million pounds last the next 50-60 years as anything other than a compromise rather than a reward, when I could work a less stressful more entertaining job for a few years and use the £1 million as a buffer to enable me to do even more interesting things with my spare time.

I'd have to still work, realistically speaking, even with a million. But even if you dumped a billion quid on me, I'd still work.

I'd just get to choose to do something much more interesting and rewarding.

Does a lot of work for charity, doesn't like to talk about it - that sort of thing.

I reckon if every day was a holiday, you'd end up being bored or an unbearable , or both.

Amazed at all these people who would win £1m, stick most of it into a house/cars and continue working. Guess thats fine if you enjoy your job but if I won I'd never work for anyone else again, I would do something to bring money in (property developing probably, or maybe buy a franchise?).

I'm also amazed by the people that seem to think having a chunk of money in the bank will suddenly make them businessmen or property developers. If these people have really got what it takes they will be able to do it without the £1m lottery win! Otherwise it's a great way to turn £1m into £500k in short order!

Believe me I'd love to do what you describe, however I'd be no good at it, hence whyI'd have to continue working for others.

Thanks. Yes, it's a B1 size printing press made in Japan by Komoroi. We have a smaller version which is an amazing bit of kit, and one day it would be lovely to have a matching bigger version to replace our current B1 press, but sadly they want a million pounds for one.



Unless of course you were asking what a Skoda Yeti is?

No gonna have to agree with Cotty on this one. If I had the funds which enabled me not to have to work for the rest of my life, I could very happily fill it with stuff I'd rather be doing instead. In fact I'd sleep in an Oxygen tank in a vain effort to extend it so I could fit in all the stuff I want to do in. People who say they would be bored with unlimited funds and no job lack imagination IMO.

[Rollcage]

Depends on what makes you tick though. The challenge of being able to run my own business would keep me from being bored, but I'd still have to work no matter what the size of win. I'd have a bit of time off first though, and waste some money on coke and hookers , otherwise I'd have to hand my PH membership in!

[housen]

Running your own business can be challenging but it is also often very hard work, stressful and a pain in the ar*e. Sure if I had the means, I might have a few business interests on the go which I "popped" into see a couple of times a week just to keep me amuzed but working full time, running a business? s*d that. I'd be too busy

Running in some sort of GT\Cup racing series
Learning to Fly
Learning to Sail
Travelling the World
and of course the obligatory coke and cookers

That would keep me going for at least 10 years for starters.

[WorAl]

£1m you say? I'm 28, I'd pack in work for a good long while. Spend £300-£400k on a nice enough house and a couple of cars, Invest £100k bank the rest, say £500k at worst and pay myself £20k a year of the next 25 years. Think about it, £20k per year without a mortgage, loans or basically any outgoings, well very few, how far would that money go? I think you'd pretty much class yourself as retired. NICE.

Agreed. Makes me wonder what some people will do when they actually retire. Judging by this thread, there are going to be a lot of old bored people,.

[KingNothing]

Not really, when I retire, I'll have loads of stuff to do. Merely pointing out, that even with my current lifestyle a million pound isn't going to cut it, so an change in lifestyle with a £1 million windfall is definately not going to cut it, it's not enough to retire on at my age and live a life of anything other than compromises.
