I love my job I think I have said on here before that it is my dream job, BUT I think I could manage to live on the interest from about half a million, I am mid 40s. I suppose if I wanted to live a jet set millionaire lifestyle I would need more. As buying a ticket is a pre-requisite for winning the lottery I had better get some work done:rolleyes:

If I won 750k, id buy a house that needed renovating and modernising, and do all the work myself!! then id live off the interest of the remaining money, as Id have no mortgage, id find that pretty easy i think....Probably would have to get a part time job, to stop me getting bored!

I say 5-10 mill but I could live on less ( :rotfl: )
I suppose it matters more if im happy.

I think with around 1 million, I'd pay off my house, pack in my job, make gifts to friends/family/charity, invest some wisely, and build a new career working part time doing my dream job (which would pay a small amount), write a book and work with charities for free.

Oh, and lots of travelling.:T

Ahhh.....bliss!

I earn 21,000 pa before tax, I get by on this ok.

1,000,000 in a CTF savings account currently 6% with Ipswich Building Society (so the main man tells us) would give me 60,000 pa.

I think I'd be laughing :j . . . Don't you?

Absolutely, I would happily retire on £30k per year, the problem is most people winning £1million would want to buy a big house, car(s) and live the lifestyle of a celebrity. If you kept your aspirations and spending levels the same and didn't spend the capital you would be fine.

I agree with previous poster. I could happily survive on the interest £1m would produce and can do without the big house, expensive car, and materialistic lifestyle.
