    My point being if you won a few million and had 5 years living the lifestyle that comes with that sort of money, could you go back to being on a £15k income?

    I know I couldn't go back to being on a £15k income - I don't think I could go back to any sort of work!

    After having a week off this week I don't want to go back!

    You'd do well to spend it anytime soon! Might try and bribe the ICAEW with a few 100k to give me a qualification; if not I'd stay in work I think! Couldn't imagine not going to work...

    I hate going to work, I only work because I have to. I'd much rather be a lady who lunches :001_tongue:

    And I definitely couldn't go back to £15k considering I'm on more than that now :huh:

    Are you in practice? I got £250 lol. Although I've got CCAB study and atleast 10 weeks per year off with all the courses. Add on fees of £1000 per course, 4 per year hopefully, accommodation for 50 nights at bare minimum of £30/night I guess it soon adds up!

    Hang on, if you give me the 20 shares in RBS I'll want you to juggle on the uni-cycle, wearing the chicken costume and singing mama mia!

    Yeah I'm in practice. I think they're trying to make up for screwing me over in the past!

    I made the mistake of telling my new employers how little I was being paid at my first job when I had my interview. Still, I own a flat and pay all the bills each month so I have independence for less than £10,000pa net:001_smile:

    No such luck, sorry! Although I bank with them so I probably should have a little bit more faith in them!

    Personally I would take the 5 from the 85 and stick it in some sort of account - even without interest it would give you over 60K PA for 75 years. Then I would do whatever I felt like with the rest:thumbup1:

    Best bit of all the company is an ACCA practice with only 8 other staff. I managed to talk them into applying to being an ICAEW training practice so I could do my preferred qualification!

    I work in industry. Company always offering courses and development routes, but at the moment it's just the wrong time for me personally to do anything like that. With 2 young children, I don't want to be going to college, i'd much rather spend my spare time with the kids.
    When they're at school, then I'll start a course, though maybe it won't be AAT / CIMA and the like, not sure yet - my role is diverse so maybe a business approach would be better suited.
    I currently work in the accounts department tackling all sorts of issues from reporting to money laundering and all this has come from on the job experience.
    Funny how that when I firat started work, I had lots of spare cash when I was on a lowly £10,000 yet now I am skint and earn 150% more! - True the more you earn the more you spend - so... I'm guessing with my share of the prize money, I'll pay off my mortgage, get married, put an education fund away for each of the kids and a further misc saving fund for each of them too, buy a farm and stables and start a horse training business and live comfortably on the rest. ROLL ON EUROS!

    I'd go along with that one, although I would not need it to be for 75 years so I could live large for a shorter time, sounds good.

    Right now the thought of lying on a desert island under a parasol being served cold drinks by a hunk in a trunk sound verrry good.
