You won the lotto (huge big massive millions win)?

Or would you set sail elsewhere?

Me, i'd buy a castle in Scotland or Ireland, and a mansion in Italy Then i'd be in my element.

I will buy an Island somewhere in the Caribbean and will live there for the rest of my life.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

But make sure your castle or mansion is next to a river . Hope I'm not demanding a lot.

Unf I wouldn't be able to claim on a 457 visa apparently, but if I won squillions and 'could' claim...then I would live in the UK in BAth and have a nice set of holiday homes around the world....Aus being one of them....

Another really good question....and one I have pondered.

I think if I won the lottery, I would move to a fab place in Oz warmer than Melbourne and very, very swanky.

And then never see the place because of continuous globe trotting.

I would maintain my home in Australia but travel more and have my house in the Lake District for trips home.

Nope, you wouldnt see me for dust. The Dh would be dragged kicking and screaming and we would buy acreage somewhere that he could grow his lettuces in peace. We would come back to visit the granddaughter occasionally and fund their visit to us more frequently.
