Just for Fun - If you won 1 Million

Hey Pastures if you're spending £400k on a house, that should be big enough that you'll have room for me to move in with you.

The £10k furnishings/refurb could include a shed at the furthest corner of the garden ... if you insist.

MSEs should focus on how to save money, how to make money.

Agreed, and this is why I have never done any kind of lottery.

This meant that my chances of winning a million were pretty much exactly zero, which forced me to concentrate on how to actually make money and become financially stable.

So if I did suddenly get £1m, I'd put it with the rest.

You get paid?

Where's the queue?

We all need to live a fantasy life sometimes, as well as the real one. My fantasy includes being able to fly a large aircraft, and take my scouts to jamborees & so forth. I reckon a million pounds should pay for a fair few lessons & a few pints of avgas as well as plane hire.

It's a nice fantasy.

I still jump on penny pieces.

It is a job so yes you get paid.
If you are serious, you will need to contact the producers, production houses. In the UK the most renown one is Killergram google it "killergram address" for their address. I believe DDF is also doing some scenes in the UK. In Germany GGG production ...

Mind you you will need to have a stamina stag quality and possibility young and reasonably good looking.

This is in line with MSE spirit as one way of making money using your asset having a thick long anaconda as well as your talent to be shown in front of camera.

Please keep the forum informed how much money have you made in this basis, lol

Personally, I think being 'given' a £1million would probably solve a lot of obvious problems, but simply create new problems that are more difficult to solve.

For example, at the moment I enjoy working, saving, etc. But if given a big wad of cash, it would make normal work seem pointless and unrewarding.

Hence you will not do 'normal work' but only work that you can truly enjoy or even hobbies that you try enjoy or spend time with people you enjoy. Key is to focus on happiness and not money. What makes you truly happy,

I'd buy a farm in the middle of nowhere and have a bunch of sloths hanging around to snuggle up with!

50k cash savings
100k pension
15k - car and a couple of holidays
10k -further house renovations
160k - invest, unsure what in at present, though.

But they all hate me and make me redundant. These days, even builders can't stand me telling them to do it properly, and complain about me hovering over them.

I really like bossing people around, and tell them to do thing according to my will. I have known from an early age what I need is to build a Killbot army, take over the world, and tell everyone what to do. Still saving up for my Killbot Army.
