I'm with LM on this one, no way I'm quitting work if I won $1m.

Perhaps you guys already have heaps squirrelled away!

What do you think you'll need to spend to be able to live what you consider to be a comfortable lifestyle?
$120,000 a year? Holidays are expensive and without a 9 to 5, you've got a lot of free time to fill in.

I plan on living another 55ish years.
In 55 years time, that $120k now needs to be $470k to maintain the same purchasing power (assuming 2.5% inflation rate).

So how much money do you need to invest now, at an earnings rate of say 5% to maintain the ability to spend the equivalent of $120k in todays dollars for each of the next 55 years? $3,500,000

(NB: this excludes tax considerations, so essentially we are talking $120k per tax yearly income)

Now if you want to buy a new house or other big ticket items in the first year or two, add that on top of the $3.5m you need.

Add in the fact I'll get sucked in by a gold digger or two who cuts the pile in half each time, I recon I need upwards of $15m before I can walk from work.

Even if I won that, I wouldn't quit the next morning. I'd still go into work every second day and run down the 60-ish sick days I've got saved up! haha

$5m and I wouldn't work again.

Under that and I'd have to buy into a business to keep me busy during the day.

Anything under $2M would see me continue to work in my current job.


Agreed, $2m would change yours and your kids lives but you'll still be working.



I'd buy a pub and a brothal, with happy hours in both.

That'd keep me busy

Hope the happy hours aren’t at the same time as I can’t be in 2 places at once.

See, I'd probs be happy with a million.

I'd sell up here and buy something modern but modest in a little country town and possibly be happy working a couple of days per week, just to pay bills bills because I won't have a mortgage.

With most of the money in investment, it'll still allow me the option to go on holidays and not have to live on baked beans.

Each to their own though.
