CAM Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Euromillions: £143m. What would you do with that much money?
tmcd35 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Retire. Travel. Complete my Retro gaming and guitar collections. Move to a nicer house/neighbourhood. Never worry about anything money related ever again. Eat more take outs and go to more restaurants. Yep, living the dream
Oaktech Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Build a improvements on a road that has always annoyed you... I've always said that if I became proper filthy billionaire rich I'd make the M27 join up with the M5. It infuriates me that about a quarter of any journey is taken up getting out of Dorset!

pcstru Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I'd spend it on fast cars, women and booze. The rest I'd squander. (Stolen from George Best).
X-13 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Retire. ^ This. I'd become the hermit I was born to be.
hardtailstar Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 put it in the bank?...... I'd spend it on whatever i see fit.... cars, houses, holidays most likely
sonofsanta Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Honestly, that amount, I really would give most of it away. I'd have to, for my own sanity. If I could pay my mortgage off, get new cars for me and the missus (both will have gone to the scrapyard within four or five years) and set aside a chunk for retirement and similar chunks for the kids, I'd be set. I honestly don't know if I'd give up work (and I feel all kinds of weird saying that) because I'm a right old mardy pants when I don't feel like I've done anything useful in a day. I like my job and my workplace, and the financial security would mean I wouldn't ever need to look for another job for reasons of payrise. I really am an old man, now aren't I (Saying all that, early retirement would give me some chance of catching up on my Steam backlog...)
eyetea Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 New car, new house (Dreaming of a proper cinema style room..), possibly couple of holiday homes? house for brother and house for sister in law, pay off in laws mortgage, holidays! probably renew all our old kit here! Invest in a few properties to rent out. Learn a few old / traditional skills, and some new ones! Probably could run off more but that's the main bulk!
Quackers Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I would continue to work, maybe thats a sign i enjoy what i do, but work would have to become a little more flexible with my hours.

I'm pretty sure I can fill up endless days with (non-)productive activity and not get bored. I could give all my hobbies and interests the attention they deserve which I either can't afford now or don't have the time for.
Tesla Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Everything off of The Gadget Show. (including his bright orange suit)

I could give all my hobbies and interests the attention they deserve which I either can't afford now or don't have the time for. I suppose a nice Nikon D750 with an appropriate selection of lenses, and an Aston Martin to drive to various locations, would provide a very pleasant hobby to fill the days with
Andrew_C Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 It infuriates me that about a quarter of any journey is taken up getting out of Dorset! With that money, you could buy Bournemouth and have it moved nearer the motorway.
mac_shinobi Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Nothing as can't even afford a ticket, sigh Either way I normally don't choose the right numbers anyway
CAM Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 With that money I'd say screw Bournemouth and live a bit further south in Purbeck. Or even further south and move to Jersey.
Dos_Box Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Fix all of the problems on my Land Rover Discovery. Although I may need a second win to cover it all.
Grey-gear Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Buy a house, pay off Uni dets buy a nice car then after Christmas travel to a different country every month for a year whilst planning what to do with the rest of it.
elsiegee40 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Resign, pay off the kids' student loans, donate to a few favoured organisations (no begging letters please, I know who they'd be), travel... first stop Australia!
nyiss Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Go get myself a Husqvarna Nuda 900, start riding and not turn back!
john Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Buy a house in London (as im fed up of huge rent bills!) Pay off debts Pay to do all the work on my parents house that needs doing and give them money to retire on as neither has much of a pension or savings as they used them to buy the house and ensure we did ok as a family growing up Buy new cars for all of us, well actually I quite like mine still so maybe get me a fun car but mum needs a new one Dunno about retire, maybe take it easier or something part time instead. Go travelling Look after cats as we need more cats and they need looking after So maybe a cat sanctuary
mikkydoos Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I'd buy a Greek island and pretend to Vince in the Coconut episode of The Mighty Boosh 1
mikkydoos Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Go get myself a Husqvarna Nuda 900, start riding and not turn back! Good plan m8
nyiss Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Good plan m8 Was thinking the same about yours, can't go wrong with Milky Joe!
HarryMonkey Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Retire, buy a nice house in the country, a villa abroad, marry my girlfriend, enjoy the rest of our lives together without a single worry about money. Simples.
RichB Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Pay off family and friends debts Bugatti Veyron Holiday Island Big house with Land for me in England Pay for a few friends to retire (cant enjoy the money if your alone) Live a money stress free life, whilst enjoying every moment! Id not give work a second thought although I'd create a new charity and be involed in that!
