What would you do if you won Set For Life lottery?

Thursday evening musings about what I will do when I win Set for life. £10k each month, I’d let DP keep his job (he enjoys it) and I would pay myself a salary of say £3k whilst really working hard on our start up business, I’d want to save at least £2k and probably give my sister £1k every month too. Would you say use £2k for a buy to let property or two and the rest add to savings pot?

I always dismissed it as not worth the money but I’ve recently start playing and have to say the prospect of budgeting with that £10k excites me just as much as the £33M tomorrow.

What would everyone else do?

£10,000 thirty years ago is only worth £5,000 today… be careful about jacking in your jobs!

In many parts of the world that is a huge amount of money and you can live extremely well. Why shrink your world to just this country

£10,000 is almost three times our family income, so even if it halves in value over time, it will still leave us better off than we would have been. And by the time the prize finishes, in 30 years' time, we'll be in our 80s with a lot spare in the bank.
I'll take it, thanks.

I would keep my job but reduce to part time hours and then spend all my time getting ripped at the gym.

I will spend the entire 10K every month but have absolutely nothing to show for it, and never quite work out where it all goes
