You need quite a few million before you can throw caution to the wind and spunk it on a massive house, car, boat etc secure in the belief you'd never have to work again. Then, you need to find a tax haven to protect your investments, accountants, trust fund managers, lawyers blah blah.
Far better off being skint....

Re: how mad would you have to be?
I bought a lotto ticket for this Saturday as missus had a vivid dream we were going to win a very specific amount of $1m something.
I think it's all the drugs she's on at the moment cos she has pneumonia.
If we do win I can officially retire.....but I'll keep her working.

Re: how mad would you have to be?
I'm winning this weekend. It's mine. The whole damn lot. And then I'd get a job because being at home when the rest of the world appears to be working is sooooo fricking boring.......
