If you could get ten years' salary in a lump sum, how would you spend it and why?

Question

If you could get ten years' salary in a lump sum, how would you spend it and why?

Answer 1

1 pay off mortgage

2 go private for knee/hip replacements for the wife

3 go on holiday

Answer 2

A sausage roll and a can of coke from greggs.

Answer 3

Invest it for the future. Pensions aren't up to much these days so son't be when I retire either.



And maybe have a holiday.

Answer 4

Ten years' salary isn't really that much these days. I could pay off the mortgage and go travelling for the next 10 years. Or I could pay off the mortgage and save the rest for a rainy day. However your ten years' salary is a lot different to mine and I would have to be more careful with my money I suspect.

Answer 5

It depends. will i have to save that money and make it last over the ten years or will i get the lump sum and still be getting what i normally get?

Answer 6

I would buy myself a newer car, as mine is starting to go in expensive places, and being disabled, I need my car big time, to not have to worry about it would be great. I would also get a power chair, although not confined to a wheelchair, there are times I do need one, it would mean I could start doing things with my daughter again, like museums, parks, days out, that kind of thing. I would spend a small amount doing bits of the flat up, but minimally, I enjoy finding a bargain but I need to be able to keep the place clutter free and clean. Beyond that, I would stuff the rest in a high interest account and try and add to it, being unable to work (I know, how could I qualify for ten years' salary, but its hypothetical...) means that I never have money for emergencies, as soon as I save some (a challenge on benefits, but it is possible) something comes alone, like the car breaking down and its all gone. I would be able to support the couple of local charities I occasionally support a bit more and just relax and have money to do nice things with my daughter. Like a coupld of days away in the Cotswolds with our beautiful dog, a power chair and miles to walk/roll through together. I would try and save a lot of it though. Nice thought.

Answer 7

Better crystals and more powerful magnets for my time machine, although the ones I have now are good enough.

Answer 8

I would, buy a house. Nothing lavish just a little quaint one in the city. I would go on holiday. That would prob use up my 10 year salary! How bad is that. But my house would be paid for at least!



I think some people are forgetting 10 x average salary is not actually that much compared to house prices these days!

Answer 9

cadburys, a trip to the cadbury factory with my choc dunking buddy, the rest would be spent on limos to tesco and back!!

Answer 10

Well being a housewife, we don't get a salary as such, but if I came into some money I would make sure my Children & Grandchildren are comfy then spend the rest,

Answer 11

I did, when I sold my share in a software company to my partners and "retired" (at 35).



At first it was great - no mortgage or bills to worry about, a quiet life in the country with no commute, and I could act out my fantasy of being a writer for a couple of years and treat myself to a few things I'd always wanted - a sports car, a telescope, an expensive camera, a road-trip holiday through the USA.



But I got depressed (not badly enough to need medical treatment, but enough to stop me enjoying much of life). I got scared, obsessed with "protecting" the rest of the money - and as a result living more cheaply and less well than I had when I was working. I missed the buzz of work and the company of my colleagues.



I'm now back at work, still with no mortgage and no real money worries but with a family who help me spend any cash that's left :-), and in many ways it's almost as if I'd never had the money. I'm in a less-pressured job, but there's enough activity to still get that buzz, and it's great to be amongst people again. So be careful what you wish for!

Answer 12

I'd use some of the money to finally be able to afford a house, but I'd still have a mortgage because 10yrs salary isn't enough to pay for a whole house and I would want to use some of the money for fun things...



I'd buy my brothers, sisters, Godson, parents and my grandparents all something nice and take my great, great aunty to Lourdes (she's never been abroad and is quite old and religious).



I'd also pay for mine and my boyfriend's honeymoon to the maldives.



I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be much left, but I'd give some lump sums to charities that I don't already support and buy some clothes. Oh, I'd really like to buy a Wii and some furniture for this new house I'd be buying :)



And I always wanted to go to New York in the winter with the snow and the ice skating and the big Christmas tree and to buy a pair of Christian Louboutins!!!!

Answer 13

Firstly, I'd get my garden fenced off to stop the cheeky gits using it as a cut thru and then claiming they "have always used it/didn't realise anyone lived there/were given permission by the previous owner/can do what they like and we can't stop them".



Then I'd get the garden done to a reasonable extent so I don't have to do too much work getting my veggie patch in etc.



Then I'd finish doing the house up because I'm fed up of looking at the 50 year old carpet in the hallway and the old brown and yellow paint that was under the wall paper in the other hallway.



Then I'd make a driveway at the front by knocking the wall down and getting it paved.



Then I'd buy a new settee because this one is cream crackered.



Then I'd put the rest into a savings account until we remortgage in 2009 and use it as a deposit/pay some/all off to hopefully reduce the monthly payments and start making a dent on the £99000...



That's the sensible version.



The other version is to go buy another house somewhere and open a cat sanctuary OR buy a ridicuously expensive car OR go and buy every silly little gadget I've ever wanted such as a remote control helicopter etc



Unfortunately, I don't earn a helluva lot a year so it still wouldn't go very far.

Answer 14

Airies6qu and Tori Bell. They all had merit. However, the nature of your question is simply that instead of receiving your pay month by month YOU are going to receive it in one lump sum at the outset, after that you are a prisoner to the 'Payer'.

Based on this, you obviously have ti invest your money in such a way that you have an income for the next ten years.

The nearest answer already given which is the most sensible is that of Tori Bell. However, she overlooked one important detail; you can't invest the lot at the outset because you'll have nothing left to live on. So the amended solution is that if the economy is stagnating you will have operate progressively. Keep 10% of the cash fluid; invest in short term fixed bonds high interest rates say 30%; 10% blue chip stock with good yield relative to depressed market and the remaining 50% in smaller housing 'plots' - this is a loose expression because they can be either new or modern pre lived in. Being smaller we mean those properties which will appeal to the majority, which in turn means ok for 2/3 persons to live in and in areas where the employment is viable.

Answer 15

I would leave my house, lock the door, start walking down the street and never look back. I think i would just start travelling with no fixed plan and visit all the places where life is completely different from where i grew up. I would try and experience as many things as possible. It took us both a year to find another job. That meant twelve long months of no income whatsoever. No one would help us. Not family, friends, churches or social services. I would never wish anything like that on my worst enemy. It was truly a nightmare because it is not easy to feed two teenagers on a regular income. Try doing it with no income. I still don't know if it is better to give than receive because I have never received anything I didn't work for. I always believed it was impossible to be rich and generous at the same time. I proved that theory true. That is probably why I will always be struggling to survive because I am too generous for my own good.Call me stupid.

Answer 17

Preferably a hip place because I am 26 and not a boring computer shop or anything, maybe a gym or hair saloon for a girlfriend. I don't know 10 years work is a lot of work. Is this to do about the guy that hits 3 people with a train? lol Maybe start an art gallery even or perhaps a football club. Maybe even some new clothes and a haircut. A week away in Sweden would be nice too.

Answer 19

Hmm...good one. In a way I perhaps shouldn't be answering this as I'm an impoverished student and consequently not earning a salary. However, before that I was an impoverished accounts clerk. Considering that when I was working I was less likely to be paid off with that kind of money than I am to win the lottery this week, I shall proceed on the basis that we're dealing with the realms of fantasy here. So what would I do with the money?



1)Give some to my parents and grandparents as I love them so much and they've been good to me over the years. Very corny I know, but that's how I feel. Also if I could I would bankroll my struggling swordfighting and jiu-jitsu clubs. The people I met there are my best friends and it would mean a lot to me to be able to make sure both clubs were able to keep running, and maybe afford some new equipment too.



2) I'm a total geek who's in love with all things ancient/medieval, so I'd buy myself a few new swords and a nice shiny suit of plate armour.



3) Get a decent guitar? Maybe I'd finally get some motivation up to learn if I had a good one. I'd have to get a massive amp as well. I mean, so big that it shatters the windows whenever I strum a chord. That'll teach the neighbours' kids to practice the trumpet whenever I'm trying to sleep, watch a film or study!



4) Then I suppose I'd have to be uber-sensible and try to invest the rest in something to try and get a return on it. Shares in Northern Rock perhaps? Hmm...Maybe not. I know, I'll ask my old boss, he's an accountant, so should be clued up on that type of thing. Oh wait, hang on. He's the one who's just paid me off. That means that I haven't been injured or traumatised or anything. If this was the case he'd still find a way of keeping me working whilst not paying me anything. He must have bought my silence somehow. Maybe I caught him cooking the books on my way out one night. Either way, he's not going to want to give me any free financial advice.



But, having said all that, even 10 years salary wouldn't have amounted to much in my case, so the plate armour is probably a no-no. And the guitar (Especially the concert amp that was to go with it). Never mind, huh?

Answer 20

I would open up a small firm business or shop and make some extra funds. Preferably a hip place because I am 26 and not a boring computer shop or anything, maybe a gym or hair saloon for a girlfriend. I don't know 10 years work is a lot of work. Is this to do about the guy that hits 3 people with a train? lol Maybe start an art gallery even or perhaps a football club. Maybe even some new clothes and a haircut. A week away in Sweden would be nice too.

Answer 21

An interesting proposition. After deleting the rubbish I was left with 4 answers:- Andy T; Weregunn; Airies6qu and Tori Bell. They all had merit. However, the nature of your question is simply that instead of receiving your pay month by month YOU are going to receive it in one lump sum at the outset, after that you are a prisoner to the 'Payer'.

Based on this, you obviously have ti invest your money in such a way that you have an income for the next ten years.

However, she overlooked one important detail; you can't invest the lot at the outset because you'll have nothing left to live on. So the amended solution is that if the economy is stagnating you will have operate progressively. Keep 10% of the cash fluid; invest in short term fixed bonds high interest rates say 30%; 10% blue chip stock with good yield relative to depressed market and the remaining 50% in smaller housing 'plots' - this is a loose expression because they can be either new or modern pre lived in. Being smaller we mean those properties which will appeal to the majority, which in turn means ok for 2/3 persons to live in and in areas where the employment is viable.

Finally, you cannot sit back; you have to be continually reviewing and taking stock to alter investment strategy as you go along.

There is something to be said for a steady safe reliable job connected to Teaching, Local Government or Politics.

No Holidays, No fine clothes, No opposite sex encounters.

Sheer graft for 10 years.

Think on.

Answer 23

I can answer this from personal experience.. 5 yrs ago I received an unexpected inheritence amounting to 20 yrs salary. It depends on your circumstances at the time. Mine were and are that I have been lucky in my life that I had built up a sucessful business, owned my own home etc: I enjoy what I do, so after a 3 month break at the beginning which left me bored stiff, I went back to work. I like my house and my neighbours so I stayed there.



So the answer to your question is that in my case, very little has changed other than we bought a new car for the first time in our lives and every time the wife says she wants to buy something I don't go "HOW MUCH????" like I used to.



I suppose I have the security of knowing that I won't have to choose between eating and heating when I retire, as so many pensioners have to do today. But even that can't be guaranteed. If one of us needs private nursing care at some stage, any amount of money would be gone in a few years.

Answer 24

Then when i am too old and infirmed to carry on and i am sat in rocking chair in the garden of whatever state run home i was in (i would have spent all my money on having an adventure), i could sit and smile telling the staff all my stories. The staff of course would smile knowingly at each other and just think i was a senile old bat. But it would give me an immense satisfaction to know i didn't waste my time.But, then again, I may just decide to use this money on making a great flick. I'd hire someone like Steve Lewis and Tony Owens to write a great screenplay and Jonathan Gershfeild to direct it and turn my ten years' salary turn into a fortune! I could always use the profits to pursue the above. What do you think?

Answer 25

However, four years ago I was actually in this situation. (Settlement from a car wreck) We paid off our debts, and we gave atleast ten thousand dollars or more to friends and family for Christmas. But for some ungodly reason I lost my job for oversleeping three times in one year and six months later my husband lost his job because of the hurricanes in Florida. It took us both a year to find another job. That meant twelve long months of no income whatsoever. No one would help us. Not family, friends, churches or social services. I would never wish anything like that on my worst enemy. It was truly a nightmare because it is not easy to feed two teenagers on a regular income. Try doing it with no income. I still don't know if it is better to give than receive because I have never received anything I didn't work for. I always believed it was impossible to be rich and generous at the same time. I proved that theory true. That is probably why I will always be struggling to survive because I am too generous for my own good.Call me stupid.

Answer 27

I know they say it is better to give than recieve. I do believe that, because it feels so good to just be able to give without worrying. However, four years ago I was actually in this situation.

Answer 29

Wow that's a question and a half!



1. Got to pay off the mortgage that would be the first priority.

The mortgage is the most important thing because once paid at least your house is your own.

2. Leave my horrible job behind forever. I don't like my job it's only because I'm so close to retirement and my pension that I stay.

3. Treat the family to a dream Hoilday. Would love to take my children to Disney, but personalIy I would like to visit the Seychelles myself....sigh just a dream.

4. New car, but nothing flash just get something around 11-13k.



And after that hopefully just enjoy life having more time to do what I want, instead of my life being dictated to by work.



I'm not too greedy.....

Answer 30

I would firstly put a five figure sum into a secure savings fund for my son's education.



After that I would spend about half the remainder on buying and renovating a property for resale. This would form the cautious basis of a development business.



The other half would be banked, and I would allow myself a stipend each month from the amount to live on. If I was working still, this stipend would be a cursory amount, maybe to cover any days I didn't earn, because I was working on the property renovation.



I would also ensure that a percentage of any income from the banked sum or the property development was reinvested into a charitable trust, to be used towards any number of good causes.



And no doubt I'd be tempted to replace my car as she is rather elderly. But that would take a sizeable chunk from the whole, so that might have to wait.

Answer 31

I don't get a salary, but I would probably get a place in Majorca, I love it there and I would set up a publishing buisness for young authors who don't have agents, because it is rather unfair at the moment that people without agents cant get published or find it very hard, it would be nice for a change to have a publishers that only execpt un-agented manuscripts rather than companys that see the author hasn't come through a littery agent and just chuck their manuscript in the trash without so much as a glance or second thought.

Answer 32

I enjoy finding a bargain but I need to be able to keep the place clutter free and clean.

Answer 36

put some money in a high interest bearing savings account, and buy me a new car. We have had the same 2 cars for 15 years.

Answer 39

Hello Kenzie(?)...I would spend it foolishly, like I always have. Large place to live, with painting and music studios....oh wait...that sounds sensible actually....I would buy an island and put a donkey sanctuary and a mexican orphan sanctuary on the island....I am a non-profit imaginary organisation...and of course you have to strive for world peace...or a big screen LCD TV. At the end of the day, what difference can I make, what with Bono having millions, n' that. Peace out!



Seriously though, if I was sober I would invest some, save some, give some to charity, and have a bit of a party. After getting the studios and helping some friends



P.S. lose the moustache

Answer 42

Of course I'd have to pay off a few bills but I'd spend a ton of trying to make sure the Democratic Party conducts its future nominating process in a truly "Democratic" way. Super delegates may well decide the 2008 Presidential race. They are not obligated to support the candidate chosen by voters. From what I have read each super delegate vote is equivalent to about 10,000 democratic votes. Does the one really represent the 10,000? Is this really a democratic process?



But, then again, I may just decide to use this money on making a great flick. I'd hire someone like Steve Lewis and Tony Owens to write a great screenplay and Jonathan Gershfeild to direct it and turn my ten years' salary turn into a fortune! I could always use the profits to pursue the above. What do you think?

Answer 43

I just wish I had a salary let alone 10 years in a lump sum.

But if the salary was good then I would pay off my credit card and any other monies owed and carry on working with less worries than before and try not to get in a mess again

Answer 44

On tax!



Why?



Because anything you get is swiftly spirited away by the protection racket* that funds all those £billions of salaries that make the industry called the State. It produces nothing and consumes the planet.



(The Chief Executive of my County Council, for example, gets £220,000 every year, plus perks. That's actually more than the Prime Minister!)



Not a salary, really . . . a lottery win!



Every year, plus perks!



That takes a lot of funding, hence, If I could get ten years' salary in a lump sum, how would I spend it and why?. . .



That's how and that's why!



[*The only difference between the Mafia and the State is that with the Mafia, you actually get protection.



ie, you can walk the street without getting knifed]

Answer 45

Because im only 18, i wouldnt really know what to do, Most probs pay off my parents and my grandparents mortgage, then buy myself a house for in the future. Pay off any debts my family owed if they did, and take my little sister to Disneyland in Florida, shes always wanted to go there. The rest id put into a Bank Account that grows intrest over time, that way i get a little bit back of what ive already spent.



But then again, i dont think id need that much money, because money doesnt give you happiness, i would like to say id probs give some to charity, the leukemia and lymphoma society - purely cause i lost a good friend when i was younger to leukemia, and ive seen the miracles they perform.

Answer 46

Ten years salary invested at 5% pa would bring in half a years salary, so it would not be that easy to rely on it forever as inflation would reduce the real income over time.



I would use it to reduce debt if I had any or purchase a nicer house or flat.



The remainder I would use to buy a nice car clothes etc and leave some of this invested to provide a safeguard for future expenditure.



Sounds boring but I think this would result in a happier and more secure future.



Of course I would need to continue in work, but the added security might allow me to improve my job position by letting me take relevant work related courses

Answer 47

Well I am a housewife so don't actually have a salary, however my husband is a train driver, so ten years salary would be quite a tidy sum. I think it would be good to pay off our mortgage, and maybe put some money towards another house, nearer to my son's school, that would be a good idea. Then my hubby would probably buy himself a taxi, so he could work for himself, we would use some money for doing up our new house, then probably just put the rest in the savings account.

Answer 48

Depends on the job.. Since i am making it through Med school on loans if this is to happen after i specialise in Neurosurgery I'd:



1. Pay off all debt



2. Buy lands in my Caribbean home country

' Antigua & Barbuda"



3. Of course build my very own Neurosurgery Clinic



4. Invest 10% into charitable caribbean Organizations ( Red Cross, Abandon Children Health Care and Orphanages, Special Needs Children Centers)





5. Travel the world when my time allows

Answer 49

But then after reading your question again I take it I wouldn't get paid for ten years?? If so I would invest 9 years salary and keep a years in my bank account and live off that, then the next year take a years out and so on and so on.

Answer 50

If I were to receive ten (10) years salary as a lump-sum, I would invest it all with Post Office Income Bonds. The sum invested would be in the region of £400,000 - £500,000. The return would be about 5%+ a year. Not a massive income, but a person might be able to live on it provided there were no mortgage or rent to pay.



Five percent of £400,000 = an annual income of £20,000. The UK tax on an income from savings of £20,000 = £4,000 - which leave an income of £16,000 after all income tax has been paid.



I could live with that.





Please note the above income figs are fictional and do not relate to my real income. They are based upon a persion with an income of between £40,000 to £50,000 p.a.

Answer 51

Ten years salary in a lump sum would not amount to very much for me. If your question means that i would then be out of a job, I doubt if I would get another one due to my age therefore I would have to use the amount for day to day living expenses and hopefully get another couple of years out of it by properly investing it for annual income and reducing the capital by living off the lump sum.



If however I received the amount in a lump sum and carried on working, I would pay off my mortgage, have a good holiday, help family members and invest the rest. By carrying on working, I could therefore retire in about 3 years ( 6 years early) and live off my investment, and with pension at 65, hopefully after having got rid of this government!!

Answer 52

i'm a student so don't get a real salary,but if i had a good job and had all my salary in 1 lump sum i would most prob give some towards charity then use the rest for living a basic life with no debt truble!



but then again i wouldn't get money for the next 10 years so in that case i would put it all in the bank (interest!!!)

and what i gain in that 10 years, give to a charity that supports familys who have lost a child.



i can become very sensable when i need to! x

Answer 53

I'd only spend part of it, and on whatever i think i need at the time, be it a new car, a house, a great new wardrobe etc. Maybe i'll throw in the holiday of a lifetime. Then i'd donate a substantial sum to Cancer Research and maybe one or two other worthwhile charities. All the rest will go into some kind of pension fund so that in my twilight years i can live the life of Riley.

Answer 54

I would take my kids and Hubby on a really long and relaxing holiday. Like so many kids over the past few years they have had to be patient with there parents being punished by the government for WORKING to give them the basics in life.

I would buy my kids all the clothes, gadgets and stuff they long for but I've not been able to give them until Birthdays or Chrimbo.

Then I would put start up my own business so I'm not a yes person, earning money for me and not working to make someone else rich.



WOW !! where did all this anger come from ??? :)

Answer 55

Mmmm it depends on how big or small the amount of money i would get paid an hour cos right now the min wage is only £5.52 an hour!



I would treat my children and taken them on holiday cos sadly i have only been able to do that once!



I guess I would pay all my debts boring but it would be out of the way!

By a good car that would get me from A to B and pass my test!

Go on a nice holiday to get out of all this horrible rain in SW UK cos I'm gona end up with webb feet soon!!

Use some of the money to start up a theater company producing plays on real life experiences, The Mad, The Bad and The Just Plain Weird!!!



Oh yes and come to see the film with my kids and go out for a nice meal with them after!

Answer 56

WHAT !

My sensible head says use it to pay of debts and then put it in a savings account and use as I would if I was getting paid normally.

But what I would probably do is blow the lot on a car a holiday a new wardrobe and lots of things I absolutely have to have (but have no use for) and worry about the bills another day.

WHY!

Because you could be dead tomorrow and then someone else will benefit from your windfall or it will be taken by the state.

So live for today Cu's you don't know whats around the corner.

:-)

Answer 57

I would pay my tithes first of all since i am a practising christian that is 10% would go to the church.

I would invest a large chunk of the money at least the remaining 50% in buying some houses to let as offices and homes .

The other parts of the money would be used to buy a nice house in a good area , i would also get to give family and loved ones some money as well and a couple of charities, and church related comittements the rest would go to fund my education since i am in full-time education, probably i would consider the idea of a round the world trip

Answer 58

I suppose I have the security of knowing that I won't have to choose between eating and heating when I retire, as so many pensioners have to do today. But even that can't be guaranteed. If one of us needs private nursing care at some stage, any amount of money would be gone in a few years.

Answer 59

Give some to my parents and grandparents as I love them so much and they've been good to me over the years. Very corny I know, but that's how I feel. Also if I could I would bankroll my struggling swordfighting and jiu-jitsu clubs. The people I met there are my best friends and it would mean a lot to me to be able to make sure both clubs were able to keep running, and maybe afford some new equipment too.

Answer 60

1. Remove impending financial concerns.2. Put two years salary in a "rainy day fund" for the future. 3 Put £ 10,000 in a separate fund for "Clothing and Personal items" to ensure I would be of smart appearance for the next ten years.Estimate what I would need for Gas, Electric,Water, Poll Tqx, for the next ten years,DOUBLE IT and put that sum away in a high interest account.4 Same for Transport costs,or car running costs etc. 5 With serious issues out of the way I could now plan the lifestyle I always kidded myself I would eventually have, like plenty of holidays at home and abroad,enjoying every day and being aware I would be free from debt concerns for the next ten years at least. I would start planning my Holidays and lifestyle changes immediately. I would start "Living" now and without taking things so seriously I would be much better for it.

Answer 61

If i could have ten years salary in one lump sum i would have to invest it, which would be property in a up and coming country that hasnt done so well in the past and would like to create jobs for those people who otherwise had very little or were just existing from day to day this way they would not have to leave there beloved country

Answer 62

In the final analysis money is quite futile, the moment you start spending it the game is over - it will just filter back to the rich. I'd pay off mortgage, downsize, buy food/rent, resist technocrap and lead a simple life. All you need is food/somewhere to live/clothes. And you don't need many clothes. Just remember people out there invent things to get your money, not because they want you to have an Ipod. They just want your money so they invent things, what's more they created trends/fashion - what better way to keep getting at your money! I have no doubt the telly I bought ten years ago still works perfectly, but they changed colour twice (black trim to silver trim to black trim), introduced HD, widescreen, to sell us the same thing five or more times. And Ipod though undoubtedly useful but when you suss it's just an MP3 player and they are £14.99 in Asda it might occur to you you have been had. Don't get me started on the coffee nonsense where you pay £3.50 for a cup of air!!!!!!! We are all going to hell in a handcart.

Answer 63

10 years' of my salary plus the equity in our current house (which is too small for our family) would be enough to buy a bigger house mortgage free. We can then put the amount that we currently spend on the mortgage each month into a pension or savings plan. Hopefully by the time we retire it will be worth more than 10 years' salary and will allow us to live a very nice life for a bit longer.

Answer 64

This would not keep me going for the rest of my life. However, it would be enough to repay my mortgage, have a good hol, help family out, give a donation to the Royal British Legion and Age Concern and put some money away for a rainy day so I would still be very happy if such a sum came my way.



I'm not sure if I want to see the film or not.

Answer 65

I would invest some in secure papers, yet some I would invest in myself so i could be better prepared in courses etc and some yet in some fun (life is not only work).So with some investment on the long term some on medium term some on my self (knowlege) I think I would be getting all the bases covered.

I have also a good idea that could after due consideration and analisis be transformed in an enterprise.however as always in a case like ttha only after much due diligence consideration and data colection a company should be started.Well one things for sure I would not waste.

Answer 66

I'd build a time machine, probably. I know it took Doc Brown thirty years, but he didn't really have a proper job so I figure I could use the lump sum I'd just been given (plus the income from another job that I'd go and get) to build one much faster.



And I'd also build it out of a Bond Bug.



Then I'd go back in time and win back all the money I'd spent so I was back where I started, with a time machine to boot. And I'd spend that money on jam, because everyone likes jam.



Alternatively, I'd just buy a couple of tanks of petrol.

Answer 67

Hi,



Amm the person who would get that would be pretty rich and excited about his 10 years salary in a lump means 1 time amm I would put some of it in an orphange to help the poor then I would buy my mum and dad a new flat to live in or if they want to live with me in my flat then buy a new car for the family and the rest which is left I would put it in the bank for long term investment plan so when I have a child then I will spend that in his education.. Thanks Vips...

Answer 68

It depends.

If i WON the money and i'd be still getting paid my usual sum then i'd treat myself to teeth whitening and laser eye surgery. About 1500.



I'd sponser a dog and the N.S.P.C.C and use about 500 pounds to treat my mum to a spa weekend.



The rest i'd probably save towards a house because i'm only 22 and homes are hard to come by.



If it were just my company offering to give me all my salary for the next ten years now and i wouldn't get anything else after then i would quit after i'd received the money!



I'd go find another job and keep the money!

Answer 69

If I had to make it last over ten years, then nothing much would change (if of course I had a salary- being a student, I don't).



If I did have a salary, and did receive ten year's worth in a lump sum, I'd probably spend about a third on myself, a third on my family (including helping my mum go private for knee surgery- the NHS is so rubbish and takes absolutely forever thanks to privatisation), a fifth on my friends and give the rest to charity.

Answer 70

If I was to get 10 years salary in one lump sum nothing much would really change,



I would still have to work 12 hour days 6 days a week as payment would be an advanced payment of salary so I would therfore still be in a binding contract to work all the hours they possibly can make you work.

Answer 71

Well ten years Salary for me would be enough to invest sensibly and the interest on that sum would mean I could afford to work part-time and be comfortable. With my free time I could get involved in doing something useful in the community, and possibly study for a degree in law, which i want to do but never had the time or money. I would also spend more time with my children who live with my ex, and I can only afford to see them once a week.

Answer 72

Hi



I would quit this god-forsaken miserable excuse of a country, and go and live in a place where the sun shines, and people smile. I am sick of paying fat cats to lie to us and spin the idea that everything is going swimmingly whilst they fritter away my hard earned wages on throwing this country down the toilet. There is not one area of government policy that is geared up to improve things for me in the UK, from crime, through health, education, and immigration.



As a child I lived in Africa- in Sierra Leone, which was (certainly in recent years) one of the poorest nations on earth. I would choose it over the so-called developed west any day. My sister lives in Indonesia, and I would likewise choose it over the UK any day. Indonesia is incidentally the most populous Muslim nation on the planet. I am not Muslim- I am white English, and was born into a Church of England family. The two occasions I have been to Indo I have been utterly blown away by the friendliness of the common man and the strength of family and communtiy ties. I dearly wish my home nation would "regress" to a time when community and family meant something, instead of the current money-grabbing, social climbing parasitical nature of things. I am embarrassed to be a member of the not-so-great Britain.



So, going back to your question...



I would take the poor amount that 10 years NHS admin staff wages would add up to, and head to Indonesia, where I would finish my training to become a SCUBA instructor (my sister would do most of the training, as she has a dive centre out there). I would then buy a share of a business- either in diving, or a bar or restaurant, and live a happy life in the sun, eating fresh food, smiling and being smiled at, diving, swimming, surfing, and being glad to have left this crappy place behind.



That's the simple dream I have... hope that helps!

Answer 73

With 10 years salary as a carer in the UK I couldn't even buy a house-HOW DEPRESSING IS THAT?? Think I'd have to travel Oz and sort myself out a nice Ozzie hubby then I could stay there and have a better standard of living-UK SUX when you're always working yet still poor!!! Actually thinking about it I could afford to get an education and not be dependant on anybody-better still!

Answer 74

Some have said that they would pay off their mortgage.... DON'T!!! you'd probably find better ways of investing the money and still benefit from the tax deductions for mortgage interest / points!



There were some good answers... I like the idea of buying homes, for rental now and possible resale when the overall market turns around... Now is a good time to buy... prices dropping, etc... and if you can get rental income while waiting out for better time to re-sell, all the better!



Of course, if you're like me and work for a non-profit agency... 10 years' worth of salary doesn't amount to much.

Answer 75

I'd buy a shabby looking fiat and spend the money on making it super crazy fast, like push of a button fast. But ti's speed and excellence would be concealed beneath the bonnet.



So when I'm waiting at the traffic lights for the green light I take off at incredible speed leaving all the other decent looking and chavved cars behind.. Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooom, Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrooooooooooooom!

Answer 76

I would keep it all in the bank...Interest...



I would not spend it..



In fact, I would look to live in a council propert and work as normal for a few years...



I would'nt buy a house just yet as the prices are currently falling...

With my money in the bank making interest and the prices of property dropping.



I could work as normal and get a bit richer while living a mundane life..



I actually would find a good recritment agency and work temp assignments...



Mackenzie, this is a mad question for you to ask or is it not?



I thoughtfor you, being an actor paid well...Is the tax getting to you as well??



Dont do what Wesley Snipes did!



I dont think you need a career change...



Maybe just a change of agent of you are not being paid well..



Still drinkning in Dartford??

Answer 77

After paying off the mortgage, I'd take my love on a trip to our favourite place, and then with anything left over I'd set up an online publisher and publish as many of my friends' books as I could.



I'm lucky enough to know a lot of talented people with wonderful stories to tell, but they aren't celebs or victims so they can't get a publishing deal in today's climate - even though one of them could be the next J.K. Rowling or China Mieville. So it would be great to get their work out there.



Any profits the company made would be ploughed into educating young people to enjoy stories in all their forms, including books, and to know that creating is so much more fun than destroying.

Answer 78

The clip was rubbish, - but, that's only a personal opinion!



In answer to the question, - that rather depends, on whether I have a well-enough paid job, to make ten years' salary WORTH anything, like a "REASONABLE" sum.



But, - assuming, that it IS, - I would, undoubtedly, pay off the mortgage, on my home, - have a HOLIDAY, (much needed, right now), - and, put the rest in a safe place, - such as a building society, - in an account, such as an "I.S.A.", - for higher INTEREST!

Answer 79

My first instinct would be to spend, spend and spend. But then reality would take it's toll. I would like to pay off every bill I have and buy things for my kids they have never had such as new bikes. As I live in a Council house a mortgage hasn't become a problem and after the bills and the kids are taken care of, maybe spend a few pounds on myself but nothing extravagant. I don't like spending money on myself unless I really need it. As long as the kids are happy I can go without.

Answer 80

They just want your money so they invent things, what's more they created trends/fashion - what better way to keep getting at your money! I have no doubt the telly I bought ten years ago still works perfectly, but they changed colour twice (black trim to silver trim to black trim), introduced HD, widescreen, to sell us the same thing five or more times. And Ipod though undoubtedly useful but when you suss it's just an MP3 player and they are £14.99 in Asda it might occur to you you have been had. Don't get me started on the coffee nonsense where you pay £3.50 for a cup of air!!!!!!! We are all going to hell in a handcart.

Answer 81

I would buy a house instead of renting to save myself a lot of money for the future and put the rest in bank and live as normal but happy knowing that money isn't going to be an issue for a while and carry on working as that would also accrue too. Go on a nice safari holiday somewhere whilst taking a couple of suitcases of clothes and other nic naks for the people (as well as my own suitcases) out there as a good will gesture as i'm like that.

Answer 82

I would buy climbing gear as I am very overweight and I feel I need a challenge.

To get out of my rut as a housewife and do something for myself and not something for my husband and children.

ten years lump sum would amount to a big fat zero since I dont make any money. Maybe my husband will leave some loose change on the side of the bed after sex !!!

Answer 83

I would invest as much as possible in tax free savings, with the other in a high interest account after calculating how much you would need to live on for a year, then I would contine to do this, if you wisely invested it then the interest alone should keep you going for quite a few months if not a full year without the need to delve into it too much. That is if your needs aren't too high and in my opinion the older you get the less your needs become. Unless of course you're a spendaholic.



Have a good weekend ;-)

Answer 84

Keep on going as normal I suppose, If I got ten years salary in one lump sum, that could technically mean I won't being seeing another penny for ten years cause I'm guessing the boss will want ten years work for the money. Now one give anything away for nothing.



(god am i feeling happy today or what?)

Answer 85

I only get paid 12 grand a year so i wouldn't be able to do much with my money.



I would buy a passport & Spend 2 weeks in the Plazia hotel NYC just like Home alone lost in New york. With my BF



Then i would go to Las vages & stay in a really posh hotel.



Then if i had any money left i would by my family prezzies.



So yeah i would blow it!!



But i would of had a holiday of a lifetime ;)

Answer 86

I wouldn't want to receive 10 years salary in one go what for? I'd still have to work for 10 years without regular income coming in and the cost of living would still be increasing - the lump sum would be too much of a temptation and I wouldn't trust myself or anyone else to invest it for me. Boring I know but safe.

Answer 87

1. Kick my bosses in the nuts lots of times.

2. Pay my bail and buy a few 'treats'.

3. Live on the remaining money while attending college.

4. Find a better paid and more enjoyable job with new found skills.

5. Repeat if needed.

Answer 88

Could I have ten years of your salary rather than mine? Pay off my debts, buy a small house somewhere in Africa on the beach and donate the rest to providing some kind of rehabilitation programme to former child soldiers in africa. Studying Psychology now so I can get involved with this on a personal pro-active level.

Why? Because although there are many charities out there and many deserving our help, I feel these 'children' who have their childhoods stolen from them are largely derided or forgotten . Somebody needs to help them, their families and their victims.

Answer 89

Pay off my credit card bills! Vicious circle that it is, you have to pay the credit card companies most of your salary, so you have no money left by the 3rd of the month, so you have to use your credit card .... I'm from South Africa now living in the UK, so whatever is left over will be converted into South African Rands (excellent exchange rate, 15:1 most days), I'd buy a flat on the South African South Coast and spend the rest of my days listening to the sound of the ocean with my gorgeous hubby :)

Answer 90

1. Pay off my parents' debts

2. Give them the cash to buy the house we're living in now

3. Send them on a holiday to Egypt



When I've been unemplyed, my parents have been leniant and allowed me back into the house while I've been looking for work. They've been fantastic so this would be my way of paying them back and show my gratitude.



If there is any left, I'd go off to New Zealand because after seeing Lord of the Rings, I have been intringued by the country and if I could afford it, I'd go to Ireland (because I love the culture) and then off to Iceland :-)

Answer 91

The point is not to spend it. Intelligent long-term investment of ten years' salary in a lump sum should yield the equivalent of one's annual salary every year for life without encroaching on the principal.

Answer 92

I would buy my son a private education when he got to secondary school. I would also go on a world cruise, Donate to my local animal aid shelter home. I would also buy my husband a 10 grand flying experience that takes place in Russia because to me having the opportunity to spending on life experiences that could have never otherwise happen would bring great stories and happy memories. If my son then worked hard at school and needed a place of his own I would give him the remainder of the money for a deposit on a mortgage.

Answer 93

I know what my brother would do he'd buy a new butt as his has got a crack in it :-))



Seriously like most would pay off the mortgage, help those in my family less fortunate, which is a lot



Book top notch holiday in Tahiti, then go first class on the plane, always wanted to do that, bum around on the island for a couple of months and then head on home nicely tanned and rested and the rest if any left would be banked for rainy days and god knows we get lots of them



Nice to be selfish isn't it, now and again doesn't hurt

Answer 94

first of all, money is nothing to me, i see it as a constant flow, like water being passed around the world pointlessly, its just you need it to be comfortable in life, but not more than you need.



ok lets say a years salary is 18k x 10, thats £180,000. first id pay off some of my parents mortgage, lets say £40,000. because they have done so much for me, and do nothing but work, they deserve it.



i'd give £5-10,000 to good causes or charity, lets say £8,000



that leaves £132,000.



£4000 for a massive party for all my family and friends, maybe on an island somewhere



that leaves £128,000



£18,000 to tour the world for 5-10 years and give to those who need help



that leaves £110,000



which i would use to migrate from the uk to New zealand and australia where i would invest in some land on a beach with some good surf, build a bar/surf shop and apartment, shape boards and live there for the rest of my life, later on building a house for my family to move into aswell.



by the way your an awesome actor, love the stuff you've done, your sisters awesome too!

Answer 95

I do see more work from home companies being available in 10 years. Of course, it's only possible through the internet! As far as pleasure goes, we already have fantasy sports and many other online gaming sources, I only see those increasing to include many more types of games and sports. Maybe even eventually fantasy horseracing? LOL Great question!

Answer 96

Put it in the bank & take out each weeks salary as it comes along remember it has to last you 10 years so there is no question of what you would do with it. Unless you want to work 10 years for nothing.

Answer 97

If I got it in a lump sum, it's going to have to last those whole 10 years, so I better save some of it, huh? Well, buy a house, pay for it outright, then I don't have to worry about mortgage anymore. Plus, go on a trip somewhere exciting, Europe, or Australia!

Answer 98

I dont earn that much ( i'm an underpaid, overworked barmaid....) so for me its not a life-changing sum but i might get my boobs done, maybe have a bit of lipo (ouch, maybe not to both) and pay my poor window cleaner who hasnt been paid for months (sorry Tim). I would also take my mum and two sis's on holiday as i live far away from them and miss them like CRAZY!! Oh, and i would also def go and see the much-acclaimed ,movie ''Three And Out'' and maybe even buy a large popcorn AND a bag of Revels. Heaven!!

Answer 99

This actually happened to me a few years ago because of an inheritance so it took a lot of thought.



My no 1 priority in life is my girls aged 9 and 11yrs old, and with a large chunk of it i made some investments, shares, etc with a view to making their future secure.



This meant that they'd have cash to cover them at University and even more so,a start to buying a house which is impossible now never mind in 15 years time.



And with the rest, i bought myself a Porsche! Lol

Answer 100

The long term answer should be to pay of the loan with this highest interest rate and the longest term.... ie credit card balances, mortgage etc..

However, if you have none of these (lucky you) then it should be invested in something that is going to make you as much money as possible... This used to be housing - but now, I think I'd spend it on some luxury and forget about tomorrow !

Answer 101

I am going to University in September,I will be a student nurse.

I have two children that I take care of alone,so the money will help me to get through the next three years.

I wouldn't buy nothing fancy,I would just feel blessed in being able to study without worrying about how to pay my bills or buying food and clothes for my children.

I would get new tyres for my car and a new exhaustion pipe.

Answer 102

An interesting question & not as easy to answer as one might expect. Its easy to blow money but to invest it wisely is another thing. Firstly I would support some worthwhile volunteer projects to help those genuinely in need, but where I personally know the workers so as to be satisfied every penny would be used for the intended purpose. Secondly I would pay off a small debt. Thirdly I would invest in producing some of my own songs (I write a lot of music, some I have no doubt could make considerable returns.)in order to make more money to reinvest in similar worthwhile projects,

I would also give my mother a small amount to help her with some personal needs.

Answer 103

Ten years salary is not really much...but if i was on a big wage hahaha i would open my bar/ restuarant and buy a house and clear my debts....then I think I would just use the rest and go holidays and lavish expensive wealthy goods on myself...



I would also like to persue a career in writing, I would love to become the next cecilia aherne but hey that's never going to happen, so next best thing would be opening my own bar...so i can get drunk most of the time hahaha



what would you do mr. crook ???

stupid question but i want to know



the movie looks great, can't wait to see it xx

Answer 104

I have a lot of experience with big cats going back to my childhood and have always wanted my own rare leopard sanctuary so that I could do more for the conservation and preservation of rare leopards and keep snowleopards,jaguar,puma,serval,ocelot etc.

Getting the cats isnt going to be too hard but funding the sanctuary would be so if I ahd a large sum of money this is what I would be aiming for!

Answer 105

I would spend most of my money for charity, because that is definitely going to something for a very good cause. I would also like to travel and do service. I would fly to Africa and purchase mosquito nets for the children there, clothes, food, clean water, and shelter for the people suffering. And the same thing for people in other parts of the world. I would be able to gain a better understanding of those that are suffering, and I could actually do something to end poverty.

Answer 106

i would firstly get my car back on the road, then go on a shopping spree with my son.

I have been a single parent for the past few years, until getting married last March. I have had to scrimp and save and never had the chance to spoil my son. I would take him for new clothes and shoes and also book a family holiday as my husband as been unwell and we were not allowed to have an honeymoon.

The rest would be put in the bank and saved for a rainy day.

Answer 107

Hi

Now this is a tricky one, lol.

I don't wish to offend anyone but I also am very ill and have been waiting for hip replacement and have been since I was 27 yrs old! Ten years later and I cannot walk due to my spine being so bad but has anyone thought about others also?

Lets not forget the poor little children who suffer from severe, chronic pain due to being ill also!

Please forgive, if I have offended anyone as I would never wish to do that xx



Serioulsy, apart from taking a holiday back to Hawaii, with my hubby and kids due to my being serioulsy ill, I would try to invest the rest as much as possiable.

Of course it would never be the same as winng Billions on the lottery, i should be so lucky, lol....my aim would be to try to gain enough savings to help those that are genuinly living rough!

It has always been a dream of mine to buy large wearhouses in all the large cities centres to enable a safe place for these poor people to go.

Of course there would also be support/rehabilitation for drug users etc. and also a seperate safe place for the young kids, some as young as 13!

I would love to be able to help so many, even if it is just somewhere they could go for avice and help with many different issues.

So many are ignorent and believe that these poor people deserve everything they get but I wonder?

Would they still be saying that is they had to run way due to abuse and no-one would help, if they maybe lost everything due to losing their jobs etc.. sorry, but I could go on forever with this so I will try not to but what I will say, too many in society are ready to judge others and so many of these people do try so hard to get their lives back on track and some actualy succsed!

If only people realised that not everyone has a good life and some of these people (yes good luck to them, if they are self made millionares) are very quick to forget their roots!

Lets not forget that some of these poor people actualy turn to drink or drugs because they feel they have nothing to live for!

Of course, im not saying this is right but it is a fact and who are we to judge? we are not them!

Some are mentily ill, just put there, due to the so called care in the community that did not work! So much to say and such a wide topic that we could be here all night, lol.

Take care and good luck with your new film .

Love Sandy xx

Answer 108

I would spend 10% on beer , 10% on cigaretts , 30% on a totaly impractable super car and the other 50% I would just spend on totally useless stuff that made me really happy for as long as it lasts .When that ran out it would be back to reality and work for the next 25 years .

All those who would buy a house "don't be silly" the market is about to crash .

Answer 109

If I had ten years' salary I would give up my paid job, work voluntarily to help loads of people who need help in any way, either in UK or abroad. I would pay off my children's student loans which they should never should have had to have in the first place just to extend their education.

I would be as happy as I am now, without the money, provided my health was ok, wealth would not matter at all.

Answer 110

Invest it in higher order or the sum will dissipate rapidly. As a traderand long term investor I can assure you this the case.



The amount of money you earn or receive is irrelevant in terms of becoming financially in dependant as proven by a recent lottery winner who is now 300k in debt. What is important is 'saving' which attracts money from nowhere to pay the bills. When you take a leap of faith and save financial miracles happen. You value, nuture and look after money and money look after you.



I was diagnosed with a meningioma which prevented me from holding down a 'job' yet still I have persisted with my savings plan and it is beginning to flourish.



Dr John Demartini's book "How to make one hell of a profit and still get to heaven" is probably one of the best financial resources for anyone wishing to build wealth and become financially independent.

Answer 111

Mr Crook, I am a big admirer of yours. David Brent could have been played by Peter Kay or Timothy Spall, and Tim by any actor who could play Everyman. The female characters could have been farmed out to anyone. You were the ONLY actor who could have played Gareth. In short, you were the only irreplaceable - in fact, indispensable - part of the show. So, given that I am a bit of a fan and look forward to more of your work I would use the cash to buy the negative and every single print of "Three And Out" and would burn the f*ck*ng lot, preventing potentially irreparable damage to your career. Christ on a bike, man, what were you thinking of?

Answer 112

I would post ads everywhere that read, "Who has an idea that will save the world?" I will hold massive interviews. Each candidate would present a business plan for a non-profit agency that could reduce hunger, poverty, famine, and improve literarcy, disaster relief, and morale.



My money, supplemented by donations, will fund the new organization. We will pay massive salaries to those who work for the organization, in order to attract top-level business executives.



We will save the world.



And then I will write a memoir about the whole experience.



Yes it will be wonderful.

Answer 113

I would buy a house outright, and maybe a car too, and put the rest in a cd or something to earn interest and get a little bit at a time. I save myself a lot of a lot of money that way, because I don't pay a ton of interest on the house, and don't have a house payment to make anymore. that'd be nice

Answer 114

Hey,



Its sounds kinda sad, but for ages i have wanted a small holding. So i can keep a few animals, a small amount of crops and enough space to be able to do pretty much anything i want.



If i had some money left over i would also like to buy a second sun so that i can be warm all year round :D

Answer 115

I earn sod all and my wages for 10 years only comes to just short of nine grand, so buying a house is a no no. I'd buy a nice car, nowt too fancy, a new honda civic would do me nicely. I love me music so I'd probably buy a ton of CD's and vinyl, and a decent set up to play them out of. I'm also a keen musician, so I'd buy a good drum kit (I've already got my dream guitar - Gibson les paul standard, which I had to work my nuts off to buy). The rest would probably go on boozey nights out with all me pals and loose women. And something nice for me mam.

Answer 116

I'm afraid ten years of my salary wouldn't even buy me a semi detached house in this area I live in!! But I'd pay off my mortgage on my little bungalow and use the rest for a deposit for a semi here, and rent out the bungalow till the house prices rose a bit before selling it. I think I'd take my sons to Hong Kong so my family could meet their newest member first before did all this. Obviously I'd still work too.

Answer 117

I'd buy a new house, rent out the current, waste 10,000 on saturdays lottery, buy a lifetime supply of tuna and rice to manage over the next ten years, and pay the utility bills in advance, and do overtime for beer xmas birthday's and easter and hol money

Answer 118

I would buy a house near the seaside and a car for my family. I wouldn't want too much - just a large enough house for a family to grow into.



Why would i want a house by the coast? Well i just love being by the sea but have never lived anywhere near the coast, just always in towns and would like the lifestyle change.

Answer 119

I don't think i'd do that much different. Surely it depends if you are going to still get your salary yearly afterwards.



If so, I might go a bit of spending but if not, i'd be more careful. It depends.



It'd be nice to feel financially secure, mind.

Answer 120

Set up a trust fund for my granddaughters to go to University when they are old enough. Pay off my debts. Buy my husband a boat and tell him to have fun fishing, then I would tour the Med. looking at classical ruins and hope there were some nice cod in the freezer when I got back! Why? Why not!

Answer 121

One great question that sets people to think!~





I would definitely invest a portion of my money to low risk investment, then take another portion to go for the high risk investment.



In other words, i will not go for holiday or rest for a period. i will continue to work out my investment portfolio. there after become a full time invester.



Then i will start to slowly realise my dreams. That is if i succeed in my investments and have enough money to do so.





I think in life, one should have dreams, if not; find one really soon. then move towards it bit by bit. Once you have the ability or chance to realise your dreams, GET IT!



Thats the case for me though... =p









OHH dun forget your families and the society too! Give-back is the word.

Answer 122

Answer 124

I would be going out almost continuously with plenty of cash on me, of which i would spend generously with my ''m8s''. I would more than likely spend the entire sum within 6months, knowing i'd have 9.5yrs without a penny. I know of this because i've Spent 30yrs doin it, and i know for a fact that i won't change the habit of a lifetime, and neither do i want to. Money is 2b spent, purpose is for spending and by God, i can spend it

Answer 126

I would buy a bigger house for myself and my four children. At 45 I think it's time I had my own room. The kids would love to have a garden big enough to play football in too. The remaining money would be put in trust funds for them all so they would have the opportunity to go to university when they are older. As a lone parent on on disability (due to cancer) I can't afford to do either or these things.

I would hire out a cinema for the weekend, then get them to play The Office Series 1 & 2, Finding Neverland, Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3, and then 3 and Out :D

Answer 128

As a child I lived in Africa- in Sierra Leone, which was (certainly in recent years) one of the poorest nations on earth. I would choose it over the so-called developed west any day. My sister lives in Indonesia, and I would likewise choose it over the UK any day. Indonesia is incidentally the most populous Muslim nation on the planet. I am not Muslim- I am white English, and was born into a Church of England family. The two occasions I have been to Indo I have been utterly blown away by the friendliness of the common man and the strength of family and communtiy ties. I dearly wish my home nation would "regress" to a time when community and family meant something, instead of the current money-grabbing, social climbing parasitical nature of things. I am embarrassed to be a member of the not-so-great Britain.

Answer 129

Save Two thirds in a high interest account, and put a time release on it. Then pay university fees with the remaining third.

Then once I've graduated, buy a nice house, and go on holiday, keep any remaining for a rainy day.

Answer 130

Apart from massive care-free spending on every comfort zone I could think of, I could more importantly afford to publish one of those crackpot books i.e. 'How you can make a Fortune' that you see in the backs of certain newspapers and magazines, and which sad people, including me (once!) buy.



I'd hire a cheap writer to write loads and loads of common sense things such as 'Save money!' and 'Expenditure vs outgoings' which is all these books more or less say anyway, and then I'd continue my spending spree as all the wannabe millionaires coin it in for me!

Answer 131

I'd put it towards my wedding, and put whatever's left into a savings account. We're trying to save up to buy a house, but in the UK it's becoming increasingly hard to get on the housing ladder.



Winning the lottery or coming into some money is about the only way we would be able to manage it.

Answer 132

I'd be very tempted to spend twenty years backpacking the world (assuming inflation doesn't make my money worthless in that time). But as I get older I have this horribly increasing urge to be responsible and pay off my mortgage and invest the rest for the future.



Growing up sucks!

Answer 133

I would only get around £100000 and thats not even enough to buy a house in my area.......so I would still carry on renting and just spend it on silly things like a new car, clothes, and a family holiday to good old skeggy for the kids...... oh and spoil the kids... I would love to be able to finaly spend money on the years favorite toy and not care that it will get broken in a few weeks time!

Answer 134

First I would pay off the mortgage, then depending on whether I am still getting an annual salary I would either take a holiday or try and find a job I adore

Answer 135

I'd put some in a savings account, then put a deposit down on a house so I could finally get on the property ladder and not have to worry anymore.

Answer 137

I'd follow my dreams! What else do you do with ten years salary. I'd do all the wild things I've dreamed of

But I'd also follow my dream of becoming a photographer. It sounds a bit odd and not very exciting, but money has stopped me fulfilling my dreams. I love to take professional pictures, I'd follow that dream and travel the world. Investing in different things of course. Then hopefully I could benefit from that to give my family money.

Answer 138

1. As everyone said, pay off the freakin house/car payments!

2. Save about 15 percent of it.

3. I need a holiday.

4. Help that one guy out who needs crystals for his time machine on here *rolls eyes*

Answer 139

Unfortunately 10 times my salary still wouldn't get me a huge amount; I'd just about be able to afford an average-sized house at today's prices.

However, 10 times YOUR salary might be something I could work with.........

All the best with the new film!

Answer 140

I would buy a house outright so I would have to pay rent or a mortgage.



Then I'd try to work out some kind of budget to see how long I could live off the rest for without needing to work!

Answer 141

Your heart will say save it - but you wont. Going on the average wage of £24k a year that means a windfall of £240,000.

Since you would be skint within 1 month if you bought a house in th UK i think the option would be to buy a house in Spain, sell melons and water to bikini clad bints on the beach for 6 months of the year.

Answer 142

Im 13 so I dont get a salary BUT if I got a lot of money I would put half in bank account, quarter to charities and a quarter for me to spend. I would spend it on useless things like games and music but I would also use it to buy my friends presents on birthdays and christmasses.

Answer 144

Like most people i would clear my mortgage. That takes four years salary from me.

The rest i would invest and take the interest to live on, so i didnt have to work (or work alot less) so as to spend more time with my children.

I don't care about having a nice car, lots of hols or anything like that, but i would like to spend alot more time with my boys. That is much more important to me than anything else, especially as they are getting older and becoming less and less like children

Answer 145

I could;



1. start a restaurant chain.. but plenty of restaurants and franchises are destined to fail..



2. buy an Italian sports car.. and drive it like I stole it.. probably a waste of "time, money, and effort".. especially when it is totaled.. wrapped around a tree.



3. get a good wife or girlfriend and let them waste the money?



4. invest in green technology.. by starting a corporation.. that specialises in implementing and utilization of green technology.



5. just add the funds to my current investment pool.. since commercial property and real estate are on the verge of crashing...



Does this help any?

Answer 146

Answer 147

I would pay off my student loan, and pay off all my sister's debts. I'd also buy a small house and live in it to do it up as a random project.

With the remainder I would buy a cheap car, and put some aside towards a masters degree in music therapy and musical studies.

Oh, and I would splash out on a really classy and expensive meal for a girl I like. =oD

Answer 148

Wow! ten years salary in lump sum. In fact a bad idea, then how will my employer accomodate my increments? At the end, I will be at loss, of course.



30% of the amount will go into moderate long-term savings.



20% into annuties for higher returns.



10% in Alms



40% in short-term saving to meet day to day expenses.

Answer 149

Then I'd finish doing the house up because I'm fed up of looking at the 50 year old carpet in the hallway and the old brown and yellow paint that was under the wall paper in the other hallway.

Based on average salary of $47000 in the US, in 10 years there will be $470,000. Put 80% in SP500 index and 20% in bank to spend.



In 10 years, I would have 977600. Then rinse and repeat.

Answer 151

I would emigrate to W. Australia.

I used to love the fact that you go to bed at night, not bother to lock the doors or close the windows & know that when you wake up in the morning it's gonna be another glorious sunny day.

Oh, happy memories.

Mind you that was 20 years ago, things might have changed.

Don't you think things have the annoying habbit of changeing?

Ho hum

Answer 152

Answer 153

I'd go on a guitar buying holiday in the US. Then heavily armed with some fine old instruments I'd bring them all back home and use them to taunt the UKs floppy guitar bands into distraction.... surely this would make a fine movie xx

Answer 154

Invest it. Let's say you're on £20k. That's a total of £200k lump sum.



You wouldn't have to work a day in your life and just live off the 10% interest which is equal to your previous salary.



It's a no brainer.

Answer 155

If I had any money that amounted to that size I would be putting it in ING direct and that would keep me for the rest of my life as the 7% at the moment would rise to a considerable percentage so each month you could live on the earnings

Answer 156

Buy a house. My house comes with my job and I need somewhere when I retire BUT I'd need my annual salary as well.

If I can't have both then I'd invest the money and draw my annual salary. When I retire I'd use what has accumulated in interest plus what's left of it to buy a house.

Answer 157

Well, The first thing would be to pay all the paperwork to emigrate to Australia. That's the proirity at the moment for me and the wife. Then it would be buy a house once we get there, and set myself up with a car to get to interviews/jobs/general LONG drives across the state of Victoria!

Answer 158

Wouldn't this mean I would be indebted to my current job for the next ten years if I took this lump sum now?

I would obviously invest most of it and hope that my investment would pay off for 10 years.

Answer 159

If I was totaly honest I would probably buy some land and build my own property including a second to either sell and recoup some of the cost or rent out to provide an additional income as my pension is worth nothing.

Buy a plot of land for Pet-Tacular and build a new rescue centre on it that we don't have to pay a fortune in rent for every week.

Answer 173

Call me selfless but I would donate it to one of the banks that have recently fallen on hard times, so that they can help maintain a bonus pool for their employees and fund large payouts to those they have to lay off. Even though it would appear that they have thought only of themselves these last few years - some have even had the temerity to call them greedy and self serving - I am convinced that history will see them as truly benevolent businesses.



I hope that others would join me, as obviously my contribution wouldn't go very far.

I would keep this as capital and invest it in high interest saving accounts in a bank and live off the interest. You may still have to work but you would have some financial freedom. Maybe use this to your advantage and if you already havn't done so you may think about furthering your education. This is as I plan to do myself, I'm about 4 - 5 years away from that yet.

Answer 393

Depends what my salary was; if I get £10k annually, I'd use it to tie up some loose ends. Maybe I'd take a few years out to bike round Europe - I drew up the plans, then realised I really didn't have the means to do it. I might use it tide me over whilst attempting to edit my book and get it published, promote it, etc; the first draft was written in calmer and easier times. To publish is a hard dream to keep alive. These sorts of unfinished projects have made me into the person I am; it'd be nice to see a couple of them through at last.



However, if I was on £100k per annum, I'd quit full time employment - £1,000,000 could sustain my current lifestyle. Instead, I'd do some freelance work - journalism, maybe some scripts - whilst enjoying my life. I only get one shot.
