    I'd be joining a couple of prestigious golf clubs and my local one as well and play golf! Also buy a holiday home somewhere nice and hot and a ski chalet somewhere nice and cold! Best of all worlds!!

    Of course I would buy a box at SAFC and fly back for matches
    That reminds me of the final against man city 2014
    We were all in Tenerefe for the wife's 60 th my mate and his family were in a different resort.
    He flew over to London for the final and flew back again.
    I was so jealous lucky man

    I would keep working but i quite like my job. Plus I'm only 34 and following uni and post-grad only actually been in a proper job for about 10 years (worked every summer and part time whilst at uni but that barely counts) if I quit now I think I'd look back at my life later on and wonder what i actually did/achieved with it. Add in that I've got small kids and yes it would be great to be able to spend more time with them but what kind of example would it be setting them to just quit (and lets be honest I never love my kids more than when I'm at work).

    I actually really like having money just building up in accounts, savings and investments. Even if i won £14m i doubt i could waste it on depreciating assets like fast cars, just don't have it in me.
