Just reflecting on the couple who have won £184 million in the lottery. To say that is a lot of money is an understatement!
i was just say dreaming about what I’d spend it on - I’d pay off my mortgage, buy a new car and I’d love to buy a holiday home in Italy or Spain. I’d give quite a lot to close family members and to very very close friends and then loads to charities.
I always said I’d want to retire but my stance is that I’d never go public with my winnings and I think if I just came into work one day and retired the next that the secret would be out!
I’m not sure how I would deal with it when I first found out - I don’t think I’d want to tell DH, DC or anyone for that matter until I got stuff sorted and worked out. I’d only ever give the money to family and friends on the basis that they don’t tell anyone about it.
i don’t know how you could keep it a secret forever though. I feel as though my family would hate me for keeping it a secret forever and then distant relatives/work colleagues/acquaintances would hate me also as I don’t think I’d give anything to them because they’d only be wanting money off me!
AIBU to think that way?
