Unless you lived in a box under a tree, none of those amounts would change your life- you'd just end up with a better load of things that you'd be unhappy with after a year, when you realised they hadn't changed your life.
I think £10m would change your life. Anyhow, I don't want my life changed to it's core. I like it.

The following amounts, how would you spend it?
(Don't just think of the first thing that comes into your head,choose carefully)...
a) £10 - Takeaway
b) £100 - Nothing really, just bank it..
c) £1000 - As above, pay off the credit cards a bit quicker lol
d) £10,000 - Take my family to New York for a couple weeks, pay off bills, bank the change..
e) £100,000 - As above so call it ~£90k.. Then I'd spend 6 months or so just travelling the world, living life, going a bit crazy.. If I ended up with around half of it left, it'd go towards a mortgage.
f) £1,000,000 - As above but with more freedom really. I'd buy my parents their retirement villa, build myself a cool little house in the country, decent car collection ala the £100k garage threads, and hopefully have 2-300k leftover to invest or be sensible with..
g) £10,000,000 - As above once more, I'd probably allow £2m to do the above, go a bit further with those plans. Then I really don't know.. I could have £8m left, to pay myself £160k/year for 50 years (I'm 24 now) but obviously adjusting for inflation.. I'd still work, but I'd have lifelong freedom and comfortable living forever, hopefully.
It's weird, we always dream about winning money - well I do anyway - but if it actually suddenly appeared I'd be at a loss of what to do with it!

... but £10 000 000 isn't that much to live on if you're going to go crazy and not work for the next (hopefully) 50+ years.
How crazy would one have to go if £17,000 per month for the next 50 years wasn't enough (and that's just based on the capital)?Seems plenty enough for nice toys, travel, home and beer money...
a) £10 - Spend it on sundries
b) £100 - Probably just stick in the bank for christmas presents
c) £1000 - A watch perhaps or something with value that will last.
d) £10,000 - A once in a life time holiday, motorbike license.
e) £100,000 - All of the above plus small house to live in, would probably have to get a mortgage as well though.
f) £1,000,000 - E + Buy a boat I could manage on my own and go for a sail around the med/where ever for a 6 months to a year, get a motorbike to carry on the boat. Try not to spend too much though as id want to give up work and live on it for the rest of my days.
g) £10,000,000 - F + The big money hmm, custom built house to my design, nice car, fund a few projects to keep me busy (race team perhaps) just live on it.

Go on then, elaborate.
I have posted my response. Im waiting for ilduce to post his. It's like reading a gypsy's letter to Santa.
Given 10M GBP I predict you would become the official Liberace of Pi'keys.

So you are not actually going to respond to the original question the OP posted, just put down other peoples responses. Pointless continuing this. It's like reading a gypsy's letter to Santa.
