The freedom figure

AS the January gloom descends, a perennial conversation is being replicated in pubs, living rooms and around water coolers: how much money would it take for you to give it all up and live off the big fat bank balance?

My mother always swears £100,000 would be enough, while a friend reckons nothing less than £10 million would do (by the time she buys the yacht, two ponies and a property portfolio to rival Donald Trump's there won't be much small change left over).
