To make a difference it would take about £30k

However to make me happy about £100k.... only difference being that would mean I could afford a house

For most people it’ll be clearing their debt or just mortgage.

I previously went bust with debts to people of about £50k. A friend gave me the money to make sure everyone I owed got every single penny back as it was my stupidity that got me in trouble so they shouldn’t have been out of pocket for it. I remember one guy saying the £5k I gave him back kept a roof over his family. That has always stayed with me, it’s not a great deal of money but to him it was life changing.

I dunno. Any amount would change my life, I guess. I'm doing ok with debt (almost completely free and clear) so I guess whatever amount to buy a house where I want to live would be great.

I think getting the perfect job would change my life more, though.

It depends what you mean by change your life forever. A measly fiver could do that if you bought the right scratch card and won mega bucks. 250k would be a good start tho, mortgage free and comfortable but I’d still need to work.

£100k to clear the mortgage, and an extra £100k would be nice to sort the house, new kitchen and decorate throughout and get the garden tidied up.

Then I'd hope there would be enough left over to pay for our planned holiday to Mauritius.

I must be an odd one out - because it would not be an amount of money at all - more to try and escape the constant capitalist struggle that we have generally been brainwashed in to.

So, a complete change of mindset, approach and life view (and yes I accept you need some money to survive but, for example, I`ve never had a car that made me happy or "changed my life" - just expensive lumps of metal in different colours).

Anything would be appreciated right now but 100k would sort things out nicely. Pay off mortgage and debts, buy my daughter a nice but sensible car and then use the 50k left over to fund the life altering surgery that I need that the NHS won’t fund despite it being a medical condition and not cosmetic

A world of my own

To take the pressure, stress and general day to day worries away then £10k

That would significantly change my life for the better. I'd be able to clear my feet. Despite having 2 jobs and working hard, I still struggle financially to survive.

However to change my life forever around £300k. I'd be able to buy the house we currently rent and it would mean I have something to leave my boys when the time comes.

He assures me, its never enough because once you have the first lambo, you want a newer one. once you have something you want to keep it and always want it better or more.

I think enough for a basic annual income for life, which through work I could easily double or more. so say I have 60 years left, allowing for interest, inflation, pension etc say 750k.

More immediately, and realistically I think a few years income so I can retrain and change direction

You are correct most of us will always be in debt from the day we leave school till the day we depart this life, me I’m ok with that, but for me I would like to ease off a bit now I’m comming up 57

Seems my life’s been full on stresssince my late twenties, like you I could have chosen an easier career path. And even as late as last year I decided to test myself with a more challenging role in an environment alien to me. But life’s about experience and challenges!!

"I must be an odd one out - because it would not be an amount of money at all - more to try and escape the constant capitalist struggle that we have generally been brainwashed in to.

So, a complete change of mindset, approach and life view (and yes I accept you need some money to survive but, for example, I`ve never had a car that made me happy or "changed my life" - just expensive lumps of metal in different colours)."

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I don't know what I want to change my life to so can't cost it.

If it's to see out the next 7 years and have enough to pay for Switzerland then £300k would be good.

If it's to buy the house I love in Lyme I'd need to add £1m to the £300k.

I know everyone says everyone has a price but do we really, it’s easy to fantisise but put in the reality of it I’ve walked away from enough to change my life forever and I have no regrets, this was a slightly different situation to just a one time thing so maybe if it was a one off maybe but you don’t know until your there in that moment

Can't understand why a sum of money could ever 'change your life forever'

Money can and is spent liberally to make you think you feel better

I've made a million & spent a million a few times over and yet...

No. It's not the money. It's the challenge. The satisfaction. The 'where do we go from here'

I cannot give you an answer as I have no idea where I'm going but it's going to be a helluva ride....

You can experience the same with £1 in your pocket or a million in the bank (btw you need at least 10 times that to live the 'millionaires lifestyle')

It's not where you're from, it's where you're at

It’s in stages for me.

I work, but have also started freelancing. I hate my job, it’s eating my soul. But! I’m not in too bad a place compared to many.

So £25K would enable me to have a buffer and quit my job. Then freelance full time.

£100-120K would enable the purchase of a second property and thus generate a small income.

£300-500K would be totally life changing. But to be honest with you I’m sure that the supply of money is controlled. Take Lottery jackpot winners, it’s always bland apolitical people that win. Whereas if I had £20 Million, I’d be socially useful.

I agree with a lot of this... I know a number of people with a high 8 figure net worth (no I'm nowhere near there myself) and their lifestyles are not exactly anything to be jealous of, but the lifestyle of the 1 person in the extended circle with a 10 figure net worth makes everyone considerably jealous!

Funny as I disagree with a lot of it. Saying you can experience the same with £1 or £1m is nonsense. I’ve had the former and latter and believe me the lifestyle that the latter enables you to have is completely different. As for jealousy, really don’t get it and anyone with 8 fig net worth being jealous of someone else is a fucking idiot.

"I had this discussion with a mate who is ludicrously well off. I'm talking bugatti veryon in his garage money.

He assures me, its never enough because once you have the first lambo, you want a newer one. once you have something you want to keep it and always want it better or more.

I think enough for a basic annual income for life, which through work I could easily double or more. so say I have 60 years left, allowing for interest, inflation, pension etc say 750k.

More immediately, and realistically I think a few years income so I can retrain and change direction "

I had a high paying job and a nice house and it did change my life forever. I was part of a successful IT business and the demands on me by the shareholders and directors caused me a breakdown and cost me my marriage. No thanks! A couple of quid in the bank and a weekly visit to the pub and I am as happy as Larry.

I knew a couple who won £500k on the lottery and they blew it in a year and broke up a couple of years after through boredom.

Being mortgage free would be life changing. Total security, spare money each month, probably an extra holiday or two because of it. So £80k for me.

To give up my job & be able to travel the world, the freedom to do what I want to - probably a couple of million at the very least!

I do agree on the lottery point though - more prizes for less numbers & no ridiculous jackpots would be much better!

Having a trolley full if cash isolates you. You cannot experience the very wonders around you.

For that you really need to be a poor man, for only there does true knowledge lie. The ability to pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Whilst inverted. In quicksand

It's ok to have money but to be truly rich one needs wealth. And that doesn't necessarily hold a monetary value.

For me, it would be £100k.

Clear the Mortgage, some debts and get the house well fixed up.

Have a grand holiday break, put some away to add to my Pension and bank the rest.

But in reality, will be mortgage and debt free in 2 years in any case, so from then on, 60% more salary back into my pocket.

Clearly I’m an idiot then. Allow me to tell you a little of my life. I’m from a very reprieved council estate in Liverpool. Like many streets kids I was a very good footballer but despite being offered a pro contract I knew my limitations so opted for education. After uni I built up a successful business but squandered the lot on parties and material wealth. My true friends stuck by me, the hangers on quickly left. I had nothing left, everything was gone.

I started again today with one of the friends and today we own just over 100 properties. We have a very good income from it and it’s enabling me to take a year out and go and see the world. Now whilst seeing the world could be classed as free, for it is there for all to see, could I do it with just £1 in my pocket... clearly not.

So please don’t fucking preach at people that you know nothing about, my friend.

I am the parent that works all the hours and struggles constantly just to survive. At the moment I'm currently loosing sleep over how to provide for upcoming children's birthdays and school camp.

Thankfully I've not yet needed a foodbank. However it scares me that many people in similar positions to me struggle too, yet society seems to wonder how it's possible.

Sadly we live in a culture where actually being hard working goes against you. I'm looked down on by my children's school because I'm not volunteering to help or because I've had the cheek to ask for a later apt, or because I was late for pick up due to traffic.

We now live in a society where I'm the odd one out. I don't wish to get political because I grudge no one anything but the system stinks.

I had a lovely surprise this week. I lent an acquaintance £150 maybe 3 years ago. Wrote it off. But I came home this week to £250 repayment. He said that he'd loaned out to help others so much money, that when his business got into trouble, none of his 'friends' lifted a finger. He knew I scrapped the £150 for him, literally down the back of the sofa job, no questions, and I'm only an acquaintance. He was grateful, because he realise he had no friends except me. The repayment was brilliant, as I was down to £28 in the bank and a large utility bill for the end of the month. Saved my butt at least for this month!

£150 probably changed his life. And yours at that moment. Love that.
