If you won a lot of money

Do you think you would carry on with your current career?

Or even for us younger people, would you even bother getting a job or a career?

This is assuming the money would cover your living costs and a bit more for your whole life.

Yeh, i prob wouldnt stay on where i am now, even though i do like my job, i would do something that i loved.. ie scuba diving instructor or jet boat driver something awsome like that, then if i got bored doin that move on to something else..

I wouldnt be working 7 til 4 anymore i can tell you...

I'd stay at school....
may not go in to work after that but I would finish school

I would buy that 85ft sailing yacht and follow the summer around the world. Probably stopping off now and then to watch some test cricket.

I'd still work..part time

haha nah I'd go insane not having to work. As much as I'd whinge I'd still rather be doing it than nothing. As for whether or not I'd change careers..hmm not sure...

One thing about having/winning a lot of money is that having that fortune in the first instance opens your opportunities up, therefore meaning you will spend it and soon need more.

One single amount isn't necessarily enough to ensure comfort and wealth for the rest of your life.

I would speak to someone knowledgeable and that I trusted implicitly about investing at least half of it regardless of the amount. It would have to be something I personally take an interest in so that I could be involved with it, therefore becoming my 'career'.

Yeah, I think I'd definitely stick it in the bank and not touch it, and live off the interest I got.

A good idea if it was over a couple mil.

not the bank, investing big time!

Im sure my wife would LOVE to stay home if that ever happened to us, course im triing for the SSI in liue of my health...

I've always said that I want to find a career that I would enjoy doing even if I didn't *need* the money to support myself, so I guess that kind of answers your question

The first thing i would do is buy my own house and then i would make sure i paid for the best education for my kids

I'd buy a better place right on the beach that I could use all year round. Then walk and write, not at the same time if you know what I mean.
