Just won two million

[biggs682]

Ok so let's pretend we have just won or inherited two million pounds .

What will you do with it ?

We always say once we have given some to the 3 kids and helped a couple relations out there would be 1 million left .

So we would move to one of the surrounding villages , change the car and invest the rest and hopefully I would be able to retire .

Firstly clear all debts and the mortgage.
Buy a nicer house.
We wouldn't make any long term plans just yet, because we're tied to the area for a while til youngest leaves school. But with some investing we'd be looking at a nice retirement somewhere lovely with a few holidays thrown in for good measure.

 

[Dayvo]

I'd have even longer holidays in the sun than I do now.

Oh, and pay the mortgage off.

 

[Drago]

Give daughter #3 some cash for a house. Stick the rest in the bank.

And I would not tell another living soul about my good fortune.

 

[FishFright]

Basically I love fizzy pop and fishing so it's ....

1. Hire the largest bulldozer in existence and flatten Kensington Village.

2. Hire a private army, usurp the throne, put the Windsors to the sword and invade France.

It might bring my retirement date forward a bit, a big bit in fact.

Spend a mil on a few properties and turning them into HMO`s so I'll have some income.
Buy a little car to run around in when I can't be arsed cycling.
Buy myself a small house.
Put whatevers left into the bank.

 

[Milzy]

I'd take all of c.c to Majorca for a cycling holiday. Maybe the bit where the road just stops and you have to ride all the way back but there's a famous cafe somewhere not sure if owned by an ex pro.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Two million would change my life. I'd be just like all the posh people, with luxuries like car tax and a TV licence.

Magic.

 

[EltonFrog]

I wouldn't tell a feckin' soul, and I'd never pick up a wet towel again.

 

[the snail]

I wouldn't waste any of it on relatives, it would probably ruin their lives anyway. I'd invest it in crack cocaine, escort girls and fast cars.

 

[Mrs M]

Give close family and friends a nice chunk.
Buy a wee flat for my friend (fled from her partner as he was a bully and she now lives in a grotty bedsit)
I would cut my hours at work in half to ease me into leaving altogether.
Then maybe volunteer somewhere like CAB.
Buy a house in Lanzarote in our favourite area
Get some new furniture and redecorate our wee bungalow, like the area and neighbours so staying put.
A new shed for more bikes
Adopt a cat friendly dog.

 

[PaulB]

Change it all in to pound coins and there's my hospital car parking sorted out for a year. If I'm careful.

 

[Lonestar]

Move out of London...buy a house and probably retire.
