So its easy to say, but......................... what would you TREAT yourself to first? I dont mean pay off mortgage, donate, give some to family etc.. I mean what you buy as a treat to yourself.....

I think i'd be tempted to go out and buy a spanking motor, but nothing too flash, but something like a BMW M3 GTR Road Version.

Ditto, i'd buy a reasonable car first I think.

Nothing too over the top, would need the bigger house before sorting out the expensive cars

I'd be spending the night in the nicest hotel I could find. Unless I could somehow rent a house during the daytime hours. Either way I wouldn't have my DBS on my driveway. I'd have to buy another one the next morning

To be honest if i won a reasonably decent amount the first thing i would treat myself to would be being jobless by handing in my notice

Don't know really, as you said not property.

My job ended on Monday so I wouldn't need to hand my notice in!

Apart from going on the United s/t waiting list I suppose it would have to be a 911 Turbo.

I'd put an ad up on all major classifieds sites offering ridiculous money for an Escort RS1700t.

Edit: And buy these bikes:

Ducati Desmosedici RR
MV Agusta F4 Tamburini
MV Agusta F4 Veltro (One Strada and one Pista)
MV Agusta F4 CC
RC30

And sit in my garage wanking furiously all day over them.

Depends how much I won tbh.

If it was a mil or 2 i'd probably buy a 997 Turbo or an R8.

If it was the 38M euromillions it would be a F1 GTR & an F40 &........................?

Then look for somewhere nice to live, again depending on how much I won.

If I only won a mil or 2 i'd carry on working!!

If I only won 1-2m I'd also keep working and not touch the money for a year. Then I'd quit as by then I would have accumilated some interest! Probably get a couple of investments to generate an income too.

Infact..............how much interest could you accrew off say £2M?? Am I right in thinking you'd get 10k a month if you were getting 5-6% on it??

I'd probably just bank it & lease a R8 or something!! I could happilly carry on living in the house Ive got a its big enough for me.

I wouldnt go mental unless it was a massive win....which doesnt come round often now days!!

Exactly yeah, could get an income off of it.
