I didn't want to ask this in money matters as that seems like a thread people go to for help and this is just for fun as I'm a very pregnant awake lady - disclaimer this is not my income (sadly ) but I know it's some peoples wages but I'm referring to the lottery game in this instance:-
I can't decide if this is better than winning a full jackpot in the sense as it's not a lump sum so it's less likely to ruin peoples lives and turn people against you (as it's not a lot in that sense, I mean it's definitely a lot to say you've not done anything to earn it - you know what I mean haha but it's not multi millions we're talking like of you won the euros)
I think I'd still work and I'd encourage DH to do the same at least that way our wages would cover the mortgage of a new property and I could feel like I worked for something as I'd feel a bit weird having money just handed to you (nice but weird), firstly I think I'd pay of all my debts a month at a time, shouldn't take too long I'd try and save a lot of it too over the 30 years at least half.
We have a baby on the way and live in a new build property which is a bit boxy and small so I'd love to move to something just a bit bigger, nothing fancy but something with two reception rooms and nice big bedrooms ( the bigger the house the more you have to clean ).
I'd treat immediate family members to a holiday or a new car or whatever they wanted as a nice little present. (Although if they chose the holiday, we'd have to wait for covid to Buggar off actually no it's my fantasy and covids already gone ) I also like to think I'd treat strangers as well in little ways so maybe pay for someone's shopping or someone's meal or pay someone's go fund me off etc just like the little everyday miracles that'll make someone smile.
And then I really don't know, I bet people have better ideas than me which is why I thought of asking this question - sorry if it doesn't make sense, sleep deprivation in the 3rd trimester is a real thing ... also the lucky people who are on more than 120k plus a year can join in and tell us what you do with 10k a month if you want to, be kinda cool to see how it differs from reality and fantasy. ( I don't mean lucky in that way as I'm sure you work very hard complex jobs for it and absolutely deserve it).
This thread is just for fun, hope it gives someone a nice ten minutes to think about what you'd do too
