I was thinking about this today with all of the advertisments about the 100 uk millionaires on friday night.
Its a nice food for thought isn't it?
Dean.

I'd knock off, clock off and ffff.......off. You would not see me for dust.
-
£1m is nowhere near enough to retire for me...35yrs old so 30 working years left @ 40kp/a =£1.2m
And thats without the new house, car, holidays & gifts...
Carry on as normal for me...
-
A million? I'd deffo pack in - prolly give the biz to my eldest daughter and Son in Law.
I reckon that if I'm lucky enough to live another 20 years in reasonable health then even if I blow a couple of hundred grand on "nice things" along the way then the remaining 800k would give me 40K a year and there would be some interest on top of that.
Just think of the nerdy hobbies I could get into! ;D
I think I'd buy a narrowboat and even live on it if I could get Mrs Gold to agree.

I`m actually quite sure that winning the lottery could be very distressing at times.

if i won a million id buy a new van and maybe a hot system all professionally fitted.get rid of my SLX and supermax and just use extreme poles.
then i would just choose my cream work,sell off the rest and just work 2-3 days a week to give me a prudent income.
i would also buy myself a modest house in a nice area paid for in cash with a few outbuildings.
get rid of my ford cougar and buy a ferrari, holiday home in portugal or south of france.
build a studio at back of my house with full drum kit,guitars,PA etc and recording equipment.turn one of my outbuildings into an art studio with oilpaints and airbrushes etc.
build a bar into my house with state of the art coffee machines and juicing facilities(no alcohol!),jukebox and lap dancing poles for all the very *friendly* gorgeous women/dancers id be hiring for the night!!
turn a room into a mini-cinema with pop corn machine!
join a very posh gym with full sauna,pool and steam room facilities.
errrr.........yes im getting a bit carried away but this is what i would do with a million!!
cant sleep due to the heat so dreaming about the lotto on here is passing the time until im ready to go back to bed!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
i give it all away ;) ;) ;)
-
I think I would invest a good lump of it in property and rent them out which would probably give a better return than leaving it in the bank.
-
maybe i already am "a secret millionaire "

Why not??
If you invest it all correctly you will get 5% or more interest whilst leaving the lump sum intact..
ie 40k per year interest and still have your mil....
;D ;D ;D ;D
-
i would retire from window cleaning andconcentrate on the need
for more distribution of banjos ;D
-
you didnt include a sell up business option!

You've not really thought about it, have you, Daz? ;D
-
if i won a million
i could have a whole week off
;D
-
I wouldnt tell my current wife ;D
-
I'd probably be found covered in vomit, wearing defecated trousers, and dead; stinking of whisky - on my very own private island, surrounded by Russian ladies of the night, by a big wheelbarrow full of cocaine.
Sounds like great fun. Is the draw this Friday?
-
im with tosh :D
-
Invest in property, best pension you can have :)
-
i think im the only one who would use it sensibly judging by some of your posts!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
ID invest in some quality waterproofs for winter.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU LOT
-
I'd invest it in a new Ionics van system and pole.......and with the change I'd buy a pizza.

Spend a million on O parts per billion!
Could this be Ionics new slogan?

;D I like it.
But of course, I was exaggerating. I could buy some of Boshravie's Magica Go Go, as well.........if I went without the pizza.
Decisions, decisions.

i would quit window cleaning, quit work completely and quit the uk with its crap weather variations never to return to Britain which aint great anymore ;D

Where would you go though? thats the problem. Spain is a dump, US would't let you in, Canada's too cold, Aus is a nice place, shame about the people. That only leaves Thailand with all the perves and the paedos.

A mate of mine won 2.8million on the lotto about 10 yrs ago, he lives in a nice big house, has his kids in private school and has recently become very bored and bought a handful of rundown houses and has been spending his time doing them up to rent out. He certainly hasn't wasted his money.
On paper he sounds like a very sensible lad. In reality the same lad regularly does silly things like setting off stink bombs in pubs of a weekend.
It hasn't changed him a bit.
-
i would definatly quit window cleaning for my real passion in life, salvaging sunken barges for scrap iron
-
there is a rumour going round that stan won the lottery last year :)

I have a friend who won the lottery. He's a big Portsmouth fan and used half his winnings to buy them a centre forward. He reckons that the next tenner he wins he will buy them a new goalie. ;-)
