Id buy the last 3rd of my house from the mortgage company and quit my day job.
I’d invest the majority of whats left after ditching the mortgage (which would be alot) and live off the dividends for a while. Once I eventually get bored of doing fuck all I’d probably retrain and take a job that actually interests me.
Why would you want to be crawled over by a spider or octopus?
Bobs proclivities are non negotiable.
He’s a Navy Man - these are likely to be entry-level stuff for him
… until it’s all gone .
It is possible to end up with £1m as a hifi dealer, you just need to start with £5m.
I almost forgot, a flat cap, tartan rug, butty box and a vacuum flask. A dogging map would be an optional extra.
Yeah, like you need a map
Sussed.
Pay the mortgage off. Finish the house. There wouldn’t be much left then.
Newish car. Both of ours are on 100k miles.
Save for retirement / fol University costs.
Buy a property for each of the FoL’s. Invest the rest.
Travel lots while we still have the energy.
Buy 2 houses in our street for my kids/husbands, always thought it would be nice to wave at them as I take the dog a walk and have them round more often without having to make plans
Spend the rest on solar insulation and diy jobs to keep me busy for a few years helping them decorate
Silver Texan T-6 and a PPL
Pay off mortgage.
Set aside money for kids once they are ready to buy a house.
Set wife up in her new aesthetics business she’s starting
Buy some commercial property/ garages etc to rent out to keep things ticking over
Do software contracting / own stuff for pin money and semi retire.
Anything left would go on a UN Freak and a good holiday for the wife’s 40th next year.
Spend a few quid on the house/garden buy a few luxuries - nowt too expensive. Maybe spend a month birding in India and that’s about it
Probably give half of it away to mates.
Pay off sons mortgage and put enough aside for a good deposit on houses for the two granddaughters.
Then a holiday in the Maldives that Jan has been dreaming of.
Boring I know but at 70 I’m happy with life.
Buy a Hymer and fck off out of the shithole of a country for as long as I can get away with. Then move back to a house somewhere around Ardfern a play about in boats all summer up and down the west coast.
Take mortgages out on a few flats using the mil as collateral. Rent them out, if anyone stays long enough for me to I break even gift the renters the house. They have paid for it after all.
That’s exactly what I would do. I didn’t earn it; they have.
