What's a sound bar?

That sounds awesome, a good thing to have if your living room is a bit small for a proper surround set up?

I'm in for this

£10
Beer

£100
CDs, Beer, Dinner

£1000
Better beer, whiskey, a good night out to see a DJ (maybe warehouse project and would treat my mates)

£10,000
As above.
Fix some more long term stuff on my car like the dif whine that doesn't need need doing but will do one day. Save a chunk and pay off debt.

£100,000
As Above
Deposit on a house, a better day to day car than the Ibiza, maybe a 1 series.

£1mil
As above except buy a house cash. Really spend some money on the house too. Massive holiday with mates. Sort out my family's and a few close friend's debts but they don't have much.
1980s Porsche 911

£10 mil
As above but a much better house most likely in London as well as a villa somewhere, probably Miami. Only at this stage would I give up work but I would look at setting up my own company. I would give money to charity as and when I see fit, I wouldn't put a set number aside.
Cars would come into play more, Lambo Diablo in black and an F40 in red to match the Scalextric I had as a kid.

£100mil
As above again but again better houses and more cars. More money to charity, essentially everything just gets scaled at this point.

Righto -
£10 - A wee mad spree at Fopp. Maybe TWO CDS?!

£100 - A meal for two at a Michelin restaurant (probably The Kitchin)

£1000 - I'd take Mrs Reg and myself over to New York for a quick trip (would likely need more money, but a good start)

£10000 - Where it changes slightly - spend none, and down for a deposit on a house.

£100,000 - House payment

£1,000,000 - House (good chunk on), pay off sister's mortgage, take parents away on holiday, night out on me for mates, and a nice wee car.

£10 mill - Houses in Edinburgh and America somewhere, holiday house for the parents, £4 million in a savings account at around 4% interest that I would scoop off the top every year to live on (hello £160k salary) that would then become a child's trust fund for when I pop it, retire,  write the novel, money to charity.

£100 mill - 25% To charity, buy houses for all my close friends, take entire entire to Japan for a week, and obviously the biggest game collection in the world - it gets all scaled, as live said. 

So no one who won 100million has money for Petey and the forum?

I've been over this question so many times in my head.

10- Buy some more food

100- Indian Spirit festival next month

1,000- A painfully beautiful girl has invited me to travel India, Nepal, and Bhutan with her. I could afford it with this

£10: I'd hide it in a pair of trousers for that incredible elation when you find £10 you didn't think you had.

£100: Same as most, it'd pay for a babysitter, a lovely meal out with taxis and a few $ spare to waste in one of the casinos, so it'd all go on a night out with my wife.

£1000: Despite the temptation of finally paying off an old overdraft in a British account that's just sitting there unused, I'd probably split it and treat myself to something like the balance of a new iMac, and buy my wife a Stubben saddle for her horse.

£10 000: I would actually pay off the little overdraft, stick £5k in savings and probably blow the other half on a family holiday.  So much travelling I want to do while I'm in the US to see places that are a little bit inaccessible.  It could make our planned January trip to Lake Tahoe a bit more 5 star, and I'd like to go to Alaska and Hawaii while the flights are cheap.

£100 000: Bring/send my parents on a fantastic holiday, and go on one ourselves.  All the rest of it straight into savings so we can buy a bigger house with more land when we get back to the UK, although about £10k for a couple of new horses to keep at it, one for my wife and one for my daughter.  I'd keep our leased car, but would probably buy something fairly ridiculous for my commute to enjoy until coming back to the UK.  I'd pay to complete my Airline Transport Pilot's License.

£1M: As above, plus stick something circa £250k into savings/a fund for the little one's education and future.  The balance would probably buy the sort of house we're looking for straight out, so £650k or so on an equestrian property somewhere in Scotland.  I would give serious consideration to leaving my job and retraining to do something else; probably by being an extremely old medical student and becoming a doctor, although I'd also finish my ATPL studies just in case.  Would buy my wife the ridiculous Range Rover she'd want for towing horses around, and myself something slightly less practical.

£10M: As above but the property would be in the region of £2-3M, probably by buying a going business concern (a training/stud yard, possibly a livery yard on the side) which my wife would run.  I would definitely leave my job and either help run said business or study medicine.  I'd consider £250k on a second hand light twin turboprop aircraft to get around in a much more pleasant and efficient way than driving, although I'd need to win something more than £1M to buy a ridiculous supercar, so I'd have one with a win this big.  We'd end up with 4 cars probably, something to tow, something comfortable for the weekly shop, a little sporty thing, and some ridiculous supercar.  This is also the stage where I'd do a lot for friends and family, obviously, but as I said in the other thread where this came up I wouldn't just write cheques to people.  I'd establish trust funds for all the children in my extended family and all my close friends' kids.  I'd pay off everyone's mortgages.  I'd buy my parents a holiday home in the Canary Islands.

I'd hopefully achieve all that with still a few £M to put into savings and cream off the interest like Reg, although I'd only take about half the interest as the other half by definition has to be rolled back into your capital to keep its net worth the same.  Tbh, with anything of this sort of level I'd do exactly what a very professional financial advisor told me to with the remaining amount.

£100M: The equestrian business would be one of the biggest in the country, bought for around £8-15M.  I'd still do everything above, although I might find I have too much to do to retrain.  I'd spend £10M on a share in an F1 team so I can follow them around during the season; not enough to be important on the team but enough to be guaranteed paddock and garage access everywhere.  

Would still buy my own aircraft but it'd be new rather than second hand, and it'd still be a light twin as that's ideal for getting around Europe.  For going further afield I'd set myself up with a NetJets account rather than buying something larger as I don't want to actually fly myself transatlantic.

I have a few aviation-related business ideas that I might consider trying to start up with this level of capital too, but in general I think partly running a large equestrian business and having an F1 team to follow every year would probably cover off most of my spare time.

I expanded since Elm. Pressed post by accident.

10 - Another ticket, beer in bottles.

100 - Shopping spree - bottle of Whisky, DVD's or a pair of shoes.

1000 - New TV or a gaming PC.

10000 - New kitchen or bathroom.

100000 - Sell the flat, buy a house.

1M - Keep the flat, buy a house in the country.

10M - Sell up, buy a house in another country, maybe buy a pub.

100M - House abroad, throw some at my team. I'd dabble in job creation, some of which might involve brewing or distilling.

@I-R
I like the pub idea

£10 - four £2 scratchcards, two £1 scratchcards

£100 - the above plus a game, bottle of malt, takeaway

£1000 - the above plus a couple of games, couple of malts, pay off credit card

£10m - Ferrari 458, Caterham, Focus RS500, plush country pile

£100m - as £10m plus Leeds Utd and Nadine Velaquez

Maybe get Linlithgow Palace back into prime condition.  No idea how much something like that would cost mind you.

Do you live in Linlithgow?

Falkirk.  Visited it a month or two back.  It would be a fantastic place if it was restored.
