    Good idea 5 years ago - still a good idea? Not so sure!

    £100k towards nice house and the other stuff - that's not going to buy much

      Pay off the debts we have, buy a couple of cars, let Mr Windy Anna give up work and do something he actually enjoys like building cars, carry on working but try to do less days a week, relax, contemplate buying even more cars, have a holiday, treat my parents, possibly buy more cars.

        You’re right, it would be quite modest but for a deposit on a mortgage for an OK sized place (in London) and a nice car that isn’t too flashy it should be enough. A million isn’t a lot of money these days.

          I'd not spend a single penny, otherwise I'd no longer be a millionaire.

          Might have it in the house in £50 notes and roll around on it naked.

            It's still a lot of money as long as you don't buy property with it. Most people could quiet easily live off the interest, which would be circa 62k a year before tax
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Or £4.57 after tax in the forthcoming budget is applied.

                      One of my favourite lines from the Simpsons is when Mr Burns wins $1M, Mr Smithers asks him what he is going to do with it and he says

                      "I don't know, just throw it on the pile I suppose"
                      Back at the coal face
