If I've won £2 million will it be enough?
Ruminating on the 0.0003p in 'another' thread and cogitating on the Rovers Return thread re What would you do if money were no object.....
Just how much would YOU have to win/steal/whatever (Lottery for example, or Madoff) to keep you happy for the rest of your days? About 8 years ago my OH & I started thinking it had to be £500,000 (pay off mortgage, decent wad left) then we realised that took no account of paying for the lifestyle we'd like to get accustomed to, then schooling, uni, changing cars, inflation....not long before it got to £2 million. Now that seems obscene, I know, but I saw a multi millionairess interviewed saying that she's got £10 million & feels positively poor & can't compete alongside some mega-rich folk she knows..if you really want to be fret-free & comfortable, how much would it take?
HELP! DUPLICATED! CAN'T DELETE!!

what ever amount you have you will always exceed your spending.
The only time you do, taking the £10mill lady as an example, is when you stop competing with the next person and just live comfortably within your means.
Then your rich.

Didn't understand your first para, btw!
