Congratulations! You’ve just won the lottery. Time to achieve what every financial advisor has nightmares about: blowing it all faster than you can say “poor life choices.”
Naturally, the first thing on the agenda is to definitely not think about long-term security or passive income. No, no. The responsible, boring thing would be to invest in properties that actually generate money every month — money that no ordinary job would ever dream of paying you. But where’s the fun in that?
Let’s put some numbers to it:
- The average UK National Lottery jackpot? A cool £5 million.
- The average EuroMillions jackpot? Oh, just a casual £40-50 million. No big deal.
Now, imagine — just for a second — you took your £5 million (or £40 million) and bought some solid rental properties. Rental yields in the UK for decent areas sit around 5-7% annually.
If you invested properly:
- £5 million would net you £250,000 to £350,000 a year — that’s around £20,000 to £29,000 every single month.
- £40 million would hand you £2 million to £2.8 million a year — a breezy £166,000 to £233,000 per month without breaking a sweat.
Meaning: you’d be earning every single month what most people spend their entire lives hoping to scrape together in a year.
And here’s the kicker: with that much passive income flowing in, you wouldn’t just be living well — you could reinvest some of it and buy even more properties.
- Turn that £233,000 a month into £300,000…
- Then £400,000…
- Then enough to buy small towns outright.
That’s right: your earnings could just keep snowballing, growing bigger and bigger without you ever needing to set foot in a 9-to-5 office again. You could build a full-blown real estate empire before most people finish paying off their first car loan.
But no, no — don’t let smart ideas distract you. The real path to success is obviously to:
- Drop £500,000 on a fleet of sports cars that depreciate faster than a melting ice cube.
- Spend £1 million on holidays to places you’ll barely remember after the fifth cocktail.
- Buy a 10-bedroom mansion you’ll hate cleaning (because you’ll be too broke for cleaners soon enough).
Property portfolios and passive income are for nerds with “plans” and “financial security.” You’re here for the instant dopamine hit. YOLO isn’t just a motto; it’s your financial strategy.
Smart investing? Yawn.
Financial independence? Meh.
Owning half the city in 10 years? Boring.
Blowing it all by next summer and starring in your own Netflix bankruptcy documentary? Now that’s ambition.
By the time you’re broke again, at least you’ll have 10,000 Instagram followers who witnessed your epic rise and fall. And let’s be honest — isn’t clout the real currency these days?
Stay winning. ✌️
