If you won £1m

The shire

If you won a million quid could you retire on it. I don't think I could. Once I've bought a nice house and furnished it had a holiday and bought a couple of cars I think that would leave around 500k maybe. Even at 25k per year earnings that's only 20 years wages left. What would you do with it and could you retire.

I (Luke) could retire on it in conjunction with my other assets.

If you are looking for an income then buying a couple of properties and renting them out seems to me to be the way to go.

Yes but I would prefer to work.

No. I couldn’t retire but I’d be a lot more comfortable for sure.

Preston.....ish

Once I'd paid off a few small debts, bought a house and a decent car.

I would set up some sort of trust fund for my kids for uni or a house deposit.

Treat myself to a nice holiday.

That would leave me with around £600k I would probably invest in property or caravans on holiday park to let out.

I definitely couldn't or wouldn't want to retire just yet.

You could if you invested it well its still possible to make 5-9% interest on investments if you are shrewd and make sure you only take the profit above capital plus interest. so say 7% net which would be 70k pa.

Not really. I’ve got mortgages so makes sense to pay them off as paying interest on them. Wouldn’t leave enough for me to retire and live comfortably x

I have retired very comfortably, so I would give it all to Orphan Chikdrens Charities.

Grays & London

What a life changer that would be!

Yeah I could retire on that, don’t think I would just yet as I do still love my job.

Id 100% go do the travelling I should have done in my younger years.

God how much is real estate in the UK?

I could answer this myself with Google but that's just crazy for such a small little place.
