I'd give up if Mrs Mac went back full time, she'd earn a lot more than me, then find something more fun, less stress.:beer:0

I don't know if I could survive giving up work but I would defintiely do something much less stressful than I currently do - preferably something that would allow me to have very flexible hours. I would then buy a cabin on a cruise ship and, in between working, DW and I would sail the world, meet people and explore foreign countries. I just wish I had the time and money to see every corner of this world.

If I'd won 1m I'd consider giving up my current job. I wouldn't give up work completely but would do something for myself or to benefit others like volunteer work. I'd go nuts sat at home doing nothing. I'd definately pay the mortgage off, but no celebrity lifestyle for me.:idea:I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about:idea:0

Jacster's got the right idea! not sure about getting a dream job though - I feel I've had enough of work! Wouldn't mind trying out research for the book - 'How to live like a millionaire on a mi££ion!'"It is always the best policy to speak the truth-unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar." - Jerome K Jerome0
