    Sounds like he wasted all that money. A £500k bungalow? JFC with a million bucks I could buy a prefab house and a lot to plop it on and live the rest of my life until I inevitable drop dead from heart disease. Also RIP Bob. I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever hit him didn’t even realize it.

      A million dollars spread out over 12 years is not amazing money.

      It’s not like he got a million dollars and could have bought the house outright. He took out a mortgage because he had a respectable middle class income for 12 years.

        I could live if a million GBP for the next 40 years and even buy a house too.

        I know this because I am not going to earn that much over the next 40 years.
