How much money would change your life?

This is my fave game to play with DP but he's asleep!

At 39, £500k would change my life significantly. I'd be able to :

•pay mine and my sister's mortgage off

•go to university and retrain as a midwife

•have my teeth straightened and made beautiful

•give us a nice nest egg to sit on

For just us £100k. Pay off the mortgage, buy a camper and give up work. My husbands pension would be enough for us.

Ideally I would like to win multi millions and give a lot to smaller charities and help all of my friends and family. I would also buy some land and build our dream house with a bungalow on the land for my parents.

I don't think that's true, There was a (long) time I had a middling paid job and loved my small quirky home and was very content with what I had achieved in life. I didn't want more.

Now I would like enough money to return to that middling life that I was content in.

Exactly this. "Change your life" means different things to different people and therefore needs different amounts of money.

I need £5m right now as my a house has just gone up for sale on my dream road in the area I live in (it's on at 4.4, but with SD and fees and moving costs, I'll need 5!). Please let it be me tonight!

I did actually win on the Euros last Friday, all of £6! Better than nothing!

To the lady who needs £1m to leave her husband, if I win, I'll ping you the money. Hang in there. Will consider the rest of you on a needs basis.

No millions from the lottery for me this weekend.

Better still go to work tomorrow 😩
