If 500K suddenly appeared in your bank account tomorrow, what would you do with it?

Just curious really.

I'd keep £10k. Give some to my sister to pay off her mortgage about £46k. Then I'd share the rest between my 3 DC.

Pay off debts, buy a flat and study for a degree that would help career wise.

Learn to drive
Set up savings accounts for the kids
Put some towards retirement
Do senco masters I want to do

£150k for my parents
£150k for my sister
£100k in the DC trust
£50k to local charities
£10k for a holiday
£40k in our savings

Same.

Move house to somewhere with an extra bedroom and a garden, get a decent car. Do a few bucket list type holidays. I'd probably try to help out my family a bit too.

This is what I dream of happening as it's the only way we'd be able to buy a flat/house 😂 So yeah. Buy somewhere for £450k and keep the rest for savings and emergencies.

Go to the dentist!

I’ve not had one for 8 years - on all the waiting lists for nhs patients but not got a place yet, and just can’t afford to go private (carer to disabled children)

Ive a mouth full of broken teeth, in pain and it’s ruining my life.

Pay off mortgage/debts
finish all the jobs that need doing in the house
buy new cars
holiday
The rest of our into savings for the kids and retirement

I'd sell where we are and buy the house I have my eye on but can't currently afford without changes to our lifestyle.

That'd leave us with about 350k and I'd save that until DD goes to uni next year and then help her out.

I’d pay off my mortgage, put in a loft conversion and finish off all the renovations we’re doing - that would be about half I reckon.

Then I’d invest or save the rest and take everyone in my family on a lovely holiday.

Buy a new house without having to get in a chain and sell this one first. Then sell this one at our leisure and be able to pay for full redecoration and put the remains in our pot.

Buy a holiday-let in the Lake District and rent it out most of the year, using the income to pay off a few small debts and car finance, and saving as much as the income as we can for my child's future.

bring forward retirement

Sell house and move to a 3 bed / 2 reception bungalow and do it up

If anything left add to ds’s savings for a deposit

start childminding my great niece 2-3 days a week

Retire. Added to my current savings & pension, that would be enough.

Retirement fund
Motor home
Garden makeover
Holiday

£50k for each of our four kids. Lots of holidays in swanky hotels.

New kitchen. Garden make over.

invest the rest in stock market.

Oh yeah and pay off kids student loans.

By a house with zero mortgage

Feel financially more secure

Buy about 5 cars that I have my eye on

Extend our kitchen and put in a downstairs shower room.
Buy an old Land Rover just to put the dogs in to go to the woods etc
Fabulous family holiday
Split the rest between DS’s for house deposit

Funnily enough, i was wondering this exact thing earlier, after i won £20 on a scratch card

I'd buy a little house closer to town, give my 2 sons £75k each, and rent out my 'in the middle of nowhere' cottage, which isnt worth enough to buy elsewhere!

Sorted!

Pay off mortgage and car finance.
Buy a second hand campervan
Book a long holiday to South America for me and my teen.
Give money to my family.
Get some Botox!

Buy the biggest empty.plot of land I could.
Not to build.on, but to set up a campground / semi permanent commune for the asocial..

Think tall hedges surrounding small flat plots for tents or tarps etc. far from each other. With a single meeting point in the centre where a loo, shower and a sink would be.

One of the rules.. no speaking to anyone else unless they're at the toilet / sink / shower.
