You've just won £20 000 000

[LittleRedRidingHoodie1]

Imagine the scenario however you like but the crux is- you've just won twenty million pounds. AIBU to ask you what you would spend the money on or do?

Let's indulge ourselves on this dreary Sunday!

By the way I haven't won even a penny, just fantasising!

After paying off bits and pieces I'd like to move house somewhere more rural and set up a dog shelter. It would need to be rural because of all the barking.

Also I'd have a personal gym. And maybe study something for pleasure.

Now you!

This would probably out me so I will name change after :)

I would buy my parents a bungalow as my dad has ill health and I would see about getting him care privately as he is beyond insurance
I would put money into a trust for my niece at a specific age (with some form of plan for if there are more children to make it fair) and pay for her to be private schooled if my brother wanted.

I would then have a few weeks holiday - I would like to see wild Orangs, orcas and whales, the northern lights and a few other places but I'd not want to do the whole trip 5*.

Then I would come home and buy a house with acres in Ireland, Wales or Scotland. I would have a veg patch, poly tunnels, fruit cages etc, some outdoor kennels for my dogs (but kennels more in the sense of safe outdoor space to chill rather than as a permanent home) and a couple of barns/outbuildings. I would invest in riding lessons and a horse, adopt a rescue horse or donkey as a buddy, then use the rest of the acreage for raising pedigree sheep, with a bit of space for several sunshine yellow eglu cubes for chickens :)
I have a specific house layout I'd like too, so it would be ace to create that without having to worry about costs.

Whatever is left would go into savings, with around £2k a month or the interest (whatever is more) set to come out every month as a "wage" for me. I think I might like to foster one day so that would feature in too somehow

Just thought of something else...I'd go to uni and do a degree in an art/literature subject.

It would absolutely make my day to be able to afford to do that .
