Let’s say that you won a million pound… how would you use it?

Are you the sensible type? Invest it?

Are you the type to blow it all? Lavish items?

"Blow the lot on drugs and hookers

Nah in seriousness there is nothing I want or need so between giving it my kids along with donating to local run charities such food bank and the privately run Children's hospice....

To have more than I needed would be a waste, so I would make sure it went to those in need of it.

A million quid gives you 3.5 millions worth of investment income on BTL mortgages.

Create a very healthy business from that.

I'd probably live similarly to what I do now, just without the toil of having to work and obviously with more travelling and enjoying my time. A million may not be enough to go crazy with but it would certainly buy me all the free time I could ever want and be comfortable enough on it.

Pay off all my debts, rent a nice house, nothing extreme, just a decent place somewhere with a garage, furnish it, nice set of clothes, fix up my car and buy plenty spares, splurge a little on my car, reasonable gaming PC, noce holiday cos i bloody need one, finance my dads racing career to pay him back for his support for me. I probably wont even get close to spending 250k, then put the rest into savings and gather interest.

For the first time in my adult life I’m actually doing well financially. Decent job, nice car and a lovely little house near the sea. Just need a lovely lady to come home to now and I’m done. So I’d invest the money in property for when my children are older, maybe invest some in stocks and retire earlier.
