2 million

[Drypastafortea]

How would that amount change your life right now?

Me-I would fly to America and make my Dd better
Leave my awful relationship and move back to the uk
Buy a house and car and live happily ever after

Give some to my parents and siblings..but for now, immediately to make a change

All three kids housed mortgage-free. Education funds for grandchildren. Getting my son into a less stressful job (which he can't currently afford to do). Donations to local hospitals. Then evaluate what's left, and if there's enough after a decent holiday, a tummy tuck to address awful scarring left by a bungled appendix op when I was a child.

I’d take some of it and give it to you so you could hopefully make your dd better x

That’s so nice 😊

Crying now, that’s so kind 💓

We could help DC to get on the property ladder and retire.

Yes it would. Dh and I would be able to retire and live comfortably. I’d also be able to put my dd through uni so she’d not come out of it with a heap of debt. I’d also be able to put a decent sized deposit aside for her first home.

I'd buy a secret flat for entertaining secret guests but otherwise continue as normal

Quit my job and enjoy the rest of my life!

It would change our lives massively, dh was made redundant at Easter and hasn't been able to find a job yet and I work in a school as support staff so crap pay! I'd pay off our mortgage, friends mortgages, dds student fees and have a holiday. I'd donate some to charity, cut my hours down at work and volunteer in the soup kitchen in town.

Not sure it would go that far, and leave you enough to live on.

@dogcatkitten it would leave us plenty to live on. I'm in the east mids and houses are cheap, our mortgage isn't a huge amount and we are quite frugal anyway. It would also give me enough to buy a house for dd and ds, dh will eventually find a job (I hope!), I would reduce hours, not quit. 2 mil would see us through for the rest of our lives comfortably.

How much do you need for your DD? Have you consider a go fund me?

We'd buy the dream house we wanted & not bother about needing to sell the one we're in. We would replace our knackered old car with an electric. Anything leftover we'd put aside for the kids. Apart from that? Not much really, it would take away mortgage stress. But we'd both still work etc and kids would stay in their state primary.

Huh?! More info please!

When I was younger, I dreamed of £5M, on the basis it would generate an income I could quit work and live very comfortably.

Now, having worked to my 50s, £2M would be plenty as I have saved enough of a pension for comfortable retirement already. It would allow me to walk out of work next week, with school and uni covered, mortgage paid. I would be able to give DC £500k each and still have enough to find my aspirational retirement instead of my comfortable one!

A very basic three-bed terrace here is £1m. So I'd buy something a little better for £1.3, keep £200k invested to live on for the next decade whilst my children are still minors, and invest the rest so that they have a deposit for their own homes when they are old enough.

From the monthly interest I'd be getting I'd send anonymous gifts to those I know are in need. I'd really love to send financial aid to the local secondary school just to even things up with all the private schools.

It would enable me to exit the toxic relationship I am stuck in, too.

I would buy a semi detached 3 bedroom and a car. I would enroll my child in extra curricular activities like ballet, swimming..
We would travel to Disneyland and I would invest the rest of the money. I won't leave my job because I don't think 2 millions stretch so much..

Bless you, you are lovely!

I’d buy a house mortgage free, invest the other half to provide small returns (anything is better than nothing!), pay off my modest credit card debt and treat myself to a nice holiday.

Pay my mortgages off, fuck my job off. Travel for a year and then do a degree for fun without any intention of using it to get a job.

I’d pay off our debts and I’d redecorate my parents house and garden as they do struggle and they’ve always helped me out. Put money aside for our two dds for when they’re older to buy a house and car, put some in savings, buy a bigger house, make plenty of memories and some donations to charity

That’s so nice 🫶

I would buy the bakery I’ve been dreaming of opening, pay off the mortgage and buy a small holiday home in north wales. Give some to my siblings towards their mortgage and invest the rest for retirement/ kids future.
