Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
Posted by FeliciaDP
To make it "life changing?"
I hate to sound greedy, but it would probably take a minimum of 50K to change my life --
Yes even 10K would be a huge help, but I cannot see it really changing our lives per se --
Here too. We'd need $100,000 to put down for any house we'd want, but the $50,000 would pay off my grad loans so that money can be the rest of the downpayment.
ETA: It wouldn't be life-changing though because we don't want to sell our condo yet. Probably no amount would be life changing...Even if I won a million it wouldn't be enough to quit my job and live on forever. I know I need at least a million in retirement. Probably by the time I retire I'll need 2 or 3 million to live comfortably if I retire at 60 or 62. I guess if we won like 10 million I would quit my job.

Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
DH and I have about $150,000 of law school debt, but I'm not really worried about that. We make our monthly payments and we'll eventually pay that off. I would love to have at least $50,000 - $100,000 that we could use towards a house (down payment, furnishing it, etc).

Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
100K..pay of school loans, a few credit cards, buy a new car and put a down payment down on a house. But even a few thousand would help get us started too.

Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
15K. It would be enough to add to what we already have for a downpayment on a home. A house of our own would definitely change our lives.

I would say $50,000 to change my life. Anything under would be nice, but I don't think it would have any great bearing on my life currently. I currently have zero debt and zero car payments so it's not a matter of paying off anything. It's a matter of using the money I currently have saved as a down payment and using the $50,000 to cover initial renovations without sweating too much - since every house we look at needs a gazillion things done to it.
I would say almost exactly the same thing 
Or $50,000 for 2 new cars to replace 2 that are old. Then we wouldn't have to touch the downpayment $ we already have saved up.

Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
Honestly, no less than $100k. We have no debt (besides DH's car) but it would help us either remodel our house to what we want or buy what we want, where we want it.

I have to agree. We have no debt except our mortgage right now. Rather than renovate I'd like to move to a different house but even then it probably wouldn't change my life. It would make us both a lot happier.

Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
at least $100K... or more like $200K.
We have no debt either (besides our tiny mortgage) so it would take a lot to "change my life".
Although I would accept $10K

Re: What's the smallest amount of money that would change your life?
Enough for me to quit my job and go back to school for 2 years to do something else - so enough to cover the bills and pay for school and everything else. So probably $100K at least.
