Frankly speaking, a million euros is not much if you live in Paris. Hypothetically, if you have won a million euros by way of lottery or bonus, what would you do?
For many Parisians, it would be to purchase a bigger or more comfortable apartments. Some would even have spare to upgrade their car or to get a second car. Most would take a long vacation in some exotic faraway places. In reality, after taking care of the basic needs, there isn't enough left for you to quit your job and have an early retirement. So the very real situation is that you would now have a nice place to live in but you would still have to continue with whatever you are doing.
Further hypothesis. What if the amount is 5 times more?
I would want to do something different. I would perhaps stop working for 3 years to pursue a course in the creative field, such as textile designing and fabrication.
You can hypothesise further and logically, the more the merrier. But I don't want to imagine that far because a sudden influx of money in your life will cause a great change of lifestyle. I'd like to have a comfortable life but I prefer it to be normal so to keep my feet firm on the ground.
