Now, if someone gave me £10m (or £32m according to DRTY)... that's a different story!
If I 'only' had a million, I'd definitely carry on working. I like my job anyway, I'd just be fucking bored!

Read a real good article a while back about how much money you need to live 'like a millionaire'.

Turned out it was £32,000,000.

£1,000,000 would buy you a nice house, a nice car, a nice holiday. And that's it. If you spent any more, eventually you wouldn't be able to maintain the house and car.
Personally id just buy and average house and car and maybe have one holiday. I wouldnt be one of those people that would go and buy a huge house and flashy car and then have fuck all left to show for it. I think it would be too easy to want to live a millionaires life style and then find you have nothing to show for it in a few years.

Pay for uni, buy house, car...some other random shit and put most in bank to live off interest. :)

Yep, one night of coke and whores followed by suicide for me too. Preferably fired from a huge cannon against the walls of the white house.

Buy a nice place down south, get my tattoos finished and a dog :)

I'd put the rest in the bank, carry on working and live off my wages.
Then when I became bored of work I'd (hopefully) have quite a nice amount of money so I wouldn't have to work anymore.

£1m stuck in a high interest bank account would do me nicely, just live off the interest after I have built my hobbit house. No interest in TV either and seldom play games, I'd be quite happy with pottering about growing my own food and being self sufficient. Money doesn't do "it" for me, you can be happy and content with a pebble if you have an active mind and take pleasure from simple things.

I do want a unimog though and would like to travel more and not have to sleep in cramped hostels with no air-con or private bathrooms.

If I had £1m I would buy a nice apartment I could live in next year when I'm going to university.
The rest of it would be split in 2 parts, one to put on a savings account, the other just to spend on: new computer, monitors, some other minor studio equipment, a new mixer, some technics sl1210's, loads of records, and my studies.

I'd probably just go somewhere sunny, and just walk around with 5k cash all the time, and have a big fucking smile on my face :>

Buy a flat with a self contained Hydroelectricity generator and spend the change on charity, prozies and records. I'm a simple man.
