How much money would change your life?

[iamdjdz]

Not looking for Euromillion jackpot amounts here just enough that you would be able to lead a much more comfortable life continuing working and doing what you enjoy?

For me I reckon £100k would allow me to clear all debts, put a lump towards mortgage (though no where near pay it) and allow me to take the Mrs away somewhere nice. Leaving our monthly income to cover the remainder of the mortgage and bills and have a decent amount to spend on extras.

Obviously this will be relative to earnings etc but interesting to see what people think is a life changing amount.

£10m should suffice.

 

[zxh800]

500k-600k. Buy a property out right (in London). Not having to a pay a mortgage for the rest of my life would be nice.

To fundamentally change my life it would have to be "**** you money" - the kind of money where you could buy up an entire business on a whim just because a member of staff looked at you funny.

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

I've always thought £3million would do the trick

 

[Pawnless Endgame]

Approx. £100 per month (so about £1200 per year) to top up what the gov't took off me when they changed me from DLA to PIP despite being less able-bodied than 20 years ago.

 

[MissChief]

TBH I'd be happy with £250-£300k. Enough to buy a nice house up here. Living rent free for the rest of my life would certainly make a huge difference month to month and allow me to clear all my debts too.

It depends what you would mean by change your life. I am well paid enough that I have a very nice house, holidays and can within reason buy anything I want. Anything more would be just nicer versions of what I have already.

It would have to be a silly amount of money that meant I lost touch with the concept of money and prices which would have a negative effect on my life.

£500k

I guess I'm lucky since I have no debt aside from my Mortgage and probably save £400 a month on average. I guess with £50k I could get a new bathroom and kitchen, fit a garage for my weights and buy a car.

 

[robfosters]

£1m would do me.

£250k to pay off the house, £500k to buy a couple of 2 bed flats round my area which would bring in a monthly wage of about £2500. Then £50-70k refurbing my house throughout including loft extension, new ktchen and landscaped garden. That would leave about £200k. £100k in the bank and £100k just enjoying myself. Holidays, shopping, new car, that sort of thing.

I always say you can never have enough - I would just like to be able to get a car and driver to take me to airport on a whim -jump on plane first class to NY say and have a coffee and meal then jump back on plane home and not even worry how much it costs.
In real life £100k would just see me out. - I have no debts and not a lot of income.

 

[explicit4u]

£150k

Pay off my student loan, clear my mums debts, and put a large deposit on a place locally. I’ve got no problem working for the rest of my life but I’ll be renting for the foreseeable future and would rather be putting that towards a mortgage (mine, not some landlord )

 

[vanandjuanunited]

Enough to buy a house would be enough for me

 

[ElliorR]

£1 million for me and I could retire. I could do it easily with £500k but a million isn’t much more.

 

[Vince]

Id need a few million I think. Bit under 300k left on the mortgage, a couple of dream cars and general living and it's gone!

 

[tom_e]

I'd be happy with enough to clear my debts and therefore free up roughly an extra £600 a month. We're not even talking 20k.

 

[keenan]

Just enough to buy a house..

 

[chroniclard]

500 million to be safe.
