Money can't buy happiness but it does enable you to rent it by the hour.

...or money isn't everything, but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place.

I asked my Wife the same question and she said she would be happy to stay here in Canada but I'd prefer to go back to the UK and live like a king with my family & friends.

Just curious what everyone else would do?

I'd hire a chef, invest the rest and not tell a soul.

I'd invest a good chunk for my kids to get when I die/when they need it.

I'd pay off my mortgage here, keep my house as a base and buy a place in London to actually live in.

I'd travel to everywhere I think that I will never be able to afford to go to.

I'd buy a decent hairdresser, who would be at my beck and call when not in London.

I'd make the local druggies and dealers an offer they can't refuse.

After my own heart!! I don't care about the yachts and fancy houses - all I want is for someone to decide what to eat, shop for it and then cook it on a daily basis - that part of my life is the suckiest (is that a word!!??)

I think we need traditional wives. I would love to have one. Is there a website for heterosexual women who want housewives?

This is a woman's lament - all we need are wives!! Actually a friend I know here did take it that one step further and left her husband for her best friend - rather rash I fear - but hey. Trouble is who gets to be the wife?? Someone is still left having to plan the meals and shop - no - it just has to the lottery, pay a strapping dude - eye candy and food all in one package

Good idea. You'd probably get a discount for buying in bulk.
