If you could have a million pounds...

Could have a million pounds for the rest of your life but never earn any extra money would you take it?

Million wouldn't last you a life time. I'm the kind of guy who enjoys a bit of graft so I'm going to say no.

[Immenseman]

soz about title, never seen that rule when the thread continues the title but cool. and yeah. i'm with you on that, i'd much rather work hard and see what life gives me rather than have it handed on a plate. that's just who i am, i guess.

if you have a mill in the bank couldnt you live off the interest?

[Nixt]

Yes, I would. I'd buy an ample house that suited my requirements, additionally a car. Nice, obviously, but not over the top. The rest would go into the bank and it would cumulate interest. I would then spend my time volunteering, studying for probably a couple of degrees, a masters and a PhD without having to worry about money etc etc. I'd never spend ridiculous sums of money and I would carefully manage my money so it was always there :p.

Or I could just have fun, blow it and live the rest of my life a bum.

[Pyroka]

NO, because i like working, its part of my social life

[tdi]

Nope.. you'd get a nice house and stuff but then there's the cost of living and stuff so once house/car/etc's out of the way then there's not that much left.. Suppose there's interest but couldn't you class that as earning money? Besides, it's boring not working, as everyone else's at work so it's crap.

I think I would rather work. I have loads of friends at work, and would miss them all Being a millionaire would eigther be lonely, or the opposite with fake people trying to be your friend just for the money etc.

A milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli a milli

Yeah I'd take it, as long as by not earning I can still "earn" interest. I'd do some fab calculations and stick nearly all in a high interest account or two and then just live comfortably but not luxuriously, treating myself every now and then when the interest mounts up

[Nomothetic]

yes i would, id buy a nice house and car and a few gifts here and there and put the rest into a fund to earn more money in my wifes name as i can't earn the money myself. :eusa_danc
