Congratulations!! You just won a million ...

What do you do first?

I'd take myself and DH off to ski for a week in Val d'Isère. Lots of après ski massages and hot tub time in our private chalet whilst we sip prosecco and plan the unexpected early retirement

Buy a house for my Mum and anything else she needs to be able to quit her job. She works stupid hours under so much pressure, and it's not helping with her already poor health. She's worked so hard, full time (or more!) since she left school. She deserves to retire early. I'd love to be able to do that for her.

Firstly, celebrate with cocktails somewhere expensive, possibly the American Bar in the Savoy. Then pay off the mortgage and plan a trip to NZ not flying Economy. Give some to charity. Shove the rest in a savings account until DH and I came up with a plan and I don't just spend it on shoes and wine.

Week 1 - Hire an Audi R8 and use it as my runaround.
Get a personal trainer and have all my food prepared for me.
Binge on spa treatments every single day!
Buy a rottweiler.
Find builders to start remodeling the whole house.
Tell one particular friend only and pay off her mortgage.
Then think about how to really start enjoying it 😁

Pay off the mortgage, loft conversion as I love my house and don't want to move, redecorate the house, have someone in to sort out the garden, have another baby sooner, do less days at work and set up pensions for the DC.

Possibly buy houses for DC when they're older but rent them out at council level rents until then. Not a popular opinion, but I'd want to secure housing for their futures.

Pay off the mortgage, send DS to private school. Put the rest in a uni fund for him.

Buy a small house so I'm no longer at the mercy of landlords who dislike pets;
Buy a new small car to replace my 16 year old car;
Buy flats for my eldest dc;
Put money in a trust fund for youngest dd so she can buy a flat when ready;
Visit eldest dd abroad .. haven't seen her for 1.5 years;
Go on holiday!

Oh I love these threads!
I'd get my parents a new bathroom, new carpets and have their flat professionally decorated

I'd get myself a personal trainer to come to my house 3x a week

I'd get a gardener to plant our garden so it looks beautiful instead of a square of grass and a few overgrown shrubs.

I'd take DD skiing or maybe a trip to Florida in the best weather season

I'd do a masters course that would boost my career

Should do something for DH but he is notoriously "difficult to buy for" - perhaps a new car

Pay off my debts (about 3 grand)
Buy a bungalow
Pay off my parents mortgage with the intention that my sister inherits their house
Go on a family holiday
Go on a child free holiday
Learn to drive and get a car

Buy a house
Let the kids have a dog as can’t have in rented
Give money to family and friends
Foster

Emigrate

• Private psychiatrist for me
• Some form of ridiculous 3 week luxury summer holiday for me and DC and same again at Christmas
• Buy a house and make it pretty
• Get something really fucking frivolous and useless just because I can, not sure what but I’d come up with something

• Do Graduate Entry Medicine as I could then afford the Nanny I would need to be able to do the shift work needed on placement and after

I'd stick it all into breast cancer research so that my friend might get a cure

Actually that’s the one kind of cancer I wouldn’t give my money to. One of the great cancer success stories is in breast cancer especially in hormone or HER2 cancers which can often be well controlled even at late stages. A direct consequence is that survival rates have improved dramatically and that’s a direct consequence of funding

On the other hand survival rates and development of new drugs has barely touched other cancers such as pancreatic, lung and head & neck so I would and do put my money there.

Unfortunately not enough to buy my dream house when I move back to London - can you add a couple of 0's?

Buy a house for us! That would be half of it gone already. Buy plane tickets to see family. A trust fund for dc. Pay into our pensions. Buy medical insurance.

Pay off the mortgage then buy a couple of properties and rent them for a monthly income. Id save a little bit over to do some work on ours.

It wouldn't be enough to live off but enough to allow me a change in careers to something that pays less but is more rewarding. They'd also provide a ready property for each of the DCs when they are old enough.

And a nice holiday if I had some left over!

Pay off mortgage.

New kitchen.

Invest in a pension.

Bigger house for me and DDs.
Brand new car followed by American car Chevy sidestep etc
Holiday
Flat for my brother near to me
Holiday home possibly

£50k In trust funds for all 6 grandchildren
£200k each for my son and daughter. Son will probably buy a house. Daughter can pay off mortgage and bank the rest.
£50k to take all 12 of us to Florida for a slap up holiday for 3 weeks.£50k for a chauffeur for DH
£100k to dil so she can fight her ex in court to win her kids back

The last £100k would go in the bank ...for sundries, meals with family, theatre trips, anyone who’s a bit down on their luck whatever.

Pay off daughters mortgage then add £100000 to buy a roomier more luxurious house for her and her family.
Our mortgage is paid off but use another £100000 to buy a house nearer daughter.
Buy 2 small houses or flats for grandchildren when they become adults. I would rent these out and take an income from them but give them to the grandchildren at an appropriate time ...when old enough to move out. If I died before then the houses and rents would be put in trust for them until they grew up.
£50000 to my mother to extend her bungalow and spend as she wishes.
A great holiday with our four lovely long term friends.
Some help to various family and some to charity.
Travel

Think that pretty much takes care of all of it ...just bring it on

Buy the house I’m in. Would leave me with over half. 100K each for children. That would leave me 200-300K. I’d refurbish the house, and dip into it whenever needed for holidays and other stuff. I’m not an extravagant person and hate showing off wealth.

A lot of property being invested in.

Are none of you as frivolous as me

Buy food

Or I might just bugger off to Vegas and put it all on red or black
😂😂😂

Pay off mortgages. Pay school fees upfront. Wouldn't be much left after that, but it would allow me to move to a less stressful job. Wouldn't be able to give up completely sadly
