Question If you won the Lotto

If you won the Lotto (over a million) would you still go?

Really think about it. Most people want to move for greener grass. If you won the big one, you could buy as much green grass as your heart desired. I want to move to Oz for 4 or 5 typical reasons, - so if I won, I think those reasons would no longer exist.

I would still go. Had a good think about it and none of the reasons i have to go to aus are money related, so it would still be the right move for me. Probably even more so, as deep down inside, and with an accountant for a wife, i do know we would be financially better off if we lived here in the UK.

Am going to Oz for freedom - freedom to move around in a country thats not overpopulated! Where theres room for everyone. Things like that, you can't buy with money. So to answer your question - YES, I would definetly still go if I won the big 'un!

If you won the lotto, you would have all the freedom of the world. You wouldn't have to stay just in little old England.

I agree, but having two children aged 5 and 2 does limit your freedom somewhat!!!

Now thats a plan !

That way both the wife and i would be happy.

Could spend the summer in the highlands of scotland in our nice little cottage, then come back for the aussie winter to our pad just north of townsville. Best of both countries seasons !

We'd still go! sooner the better, we'd also buy a house on the beach in Antigua but wouldn't buy a place here! we want out for lots of reasons and money is only a small one!
best regards

i would still go as one of the main reasons we are going is to get out of this over populated smog filled hole.

money would smooth things over and would be one less thing to worry about
