Stolen from the lounge and its probably not a subject irish people chat about but how much money would change your life for good?

For me I'd 3million. House, car and travel the world and quit my job and go to college without the stress of having to work part time or rely on grants etc... Plus I'm still young so 3m has to set me up for 40 plus years haha but I seen some people say 100k, 200k etc... Just to play off the mortgage and debts. Puts things in perspective when they're saying something so low would change their lives.

For me a quarter of a million would be enough. Enough to clear the mortgage and some left over to do things I'd never do otherwise.

I suppose it depends on your stage in life and your situation at this moment in time. So do e living a penal life, employed with an average income, paying a mortgage etc. Would be happy with the mortgage paid off and enough left over for a new car & holiday as they now have going forward extra disposable income from the save in mortgage repayments so that would be life changing for them. However like yourself I’m young, I’m only 1 year into a mortgage so have quite a bit to pay off yet, I was recently hospitalised for 3 months and as a result I’ve been told I can only work a 2 or a 3 day week from now on, so my already low income has just been made smaller. As a result of these factors if need minimum €5 million. This would pay off my mortgage, and the balance would sit in my bank account gaining interest and subsidies my income for the rest of my life.

A town near you

Most of the lottery stories you read are about how winning so much money ruined their lives and relationships with family and loved one. Out from that id settle for a million and sit on it to avoid attention, so no new Rolls-Royce or new mansions lol

I don't think it's in a child's interest to see their parents as an endless supply of money.

That solely depends on your parenting skills. Rich people aren't necessarily poor parents.

No, but their kids' lives aren't necessarily improved by money either, beyond a certain point more money just means more stuff, material acquisitions beyond a decent standard of living don't contribute to happiness or mental wellbeing.

No money is more harmful to kids development. Poorer education, less nutritious food, less money to join sports clubs and socialise, more likely to be outcasted by peers etc.... You can be rich and raise a kid with humility and respect and understanding of money and others plights etc... I'm not talking hundreds of millions either I'd class rich as owning your home and having enough to pay bill plus socialise without having to work 60 hrs a week etc...

Well then I'm already rich - by virtue of my own hard work over the last 30 years, which is the example I prefer my kids to have.

Fair play but I did say if I had did somehow get three million that I would go to college so I would still continue working. I would just get to travel the world and have few more luxuries quicker than the route I'm on. Anyway how much would change your life? Haha

I don't have excess cash btw, I own my house and earn enough to support myself and my kids and pay into a pension. Having more money isn't going to change my life, just give me more stuff.

Not necessarily for material objects but maybe for travel etc.

Going by what I'm earning 1million would see my through till I turn 80. So about 3 million would change my life and let me do a few extra things which I've always wanted to.

While my kids are being raised and educated, I have no need to travel any more than I do now. Once they have left home, I will have more disposable income anyway.

Ya travel and further education etc... You could even just study something that's a hobby like history in a university but knowing you don't want to work in that area etc... Money can buy you time like. You can work less and do more things for yourself or with your family

I would study English literature and history for the joy of it not a career choice. Sort out the kid's, house and holidays with enough to live out the rest of my life comfortably. House in Italy would be amazing.

2,118,000 should do me to the ripe old age of 90 but I haven't put much thought into it

Yeah chill the beans was a good light hearted post by the op! For some that say they don't need or want to win millions fair play! Question would they refuse to take it if they did lotto and their numbers came up? Hmmmm!! Personally think it would be brilliant if won a few million! Even the €100 mill in euro millions would share it out with all the family! It would take pressure off paying mortgages, cars etc etc!
