If you’re reasonably wealthy, would this amount of money out of the blue still be nice?

[Bhha]

Or would it make little difference to you?

10k. As a random win or gift etc

Yes, I'd love it and could immediately think of several things to do with it.

Yes. DH and I are mortgage free, (mid 50s now - been mortgage free for about a decade...) Both DC have flown the nest a decade ago and are totally independent. Also, we have savings in the bank/building society in the high 5 figures, and 2 decent private pensions each (to come.)

But still a £10K win on the lotto or something would be very welcome! 😃

Incredibly useful! It depends what you mean by wealthy. we technically are but we live in an expensive part of the country. So that would be brilliant!

What do you class as ‘reasonably wealthy’?

I fail at the first hurdle, I'm not reasonably wealthy.

But if it's £10k as a win or gift that you can just spend without having to justify it, it must surely still be very nice

I got a 10k win on premium bonds a couple of years ago. I had just left my job to go self employed and found myself unexpectedly pregnant.

It was super exciting, even though all I did was add it to my decent savings buffer. It still isn't spent - it's earmarked for elective surgery in a couple of years.

I think I am reasonably wealthy

I still buy oops stickers so 10k - I’d snap your bloody hand off 😂

what a strange question, why wouldn't it be nice?

A gift is a gift, you can buy a VERY decent holiday for that amount, what's not to like.

I net more than that per month and yes, it still would be nice as I could add it to my “fuck off out of this job and do something less stressful” fund.
