    Do flatter yourselves.

    OK, which of you has the BBC been interviewing?: BBC News - What do people on £1m salaries do with their money?

    It is used to judge a person's worth. "Money is a gauge by which you measure how wonderful someone is."

          Seriously?!

          Even in this country or the US, you can live off the interest of £1m, retire forever!

                Presumably answers don't include sticking it the bank and watching it disappear as if by magic. Banks and interest payments are so yesterday.

                    Outside of any expensive city, £1m will give you a couple to a few grand per month in interest alone. For most of us outside the m25, that is enough for rent/mortgage, food, luxuries, etc. Most households survive on less that £2k per month very easily.

                    Not all of us live in London or the home counties in mansions beside football players you know. Sorry to burst your bubble there.

                    Then things get even cheaper in the east. In some countries, your expenses can be ten times less. You can live like a millionaire over there on less than £1k.
