Wow. I don't know how fulfilling that amount is in the UK, but here in Nigeria that would be a worthwhile testament to a life dedicated to a honest living 🙂 So I'll say, congratulations. For some context, my dad is about to receive 1/4 of that as gratuity for working 35 years as a nurse. And he's just been getting by the past 3 years (after retirement) waiting for this HUGE settlement after working so long. Credit to him though, he built a house, if that counts as an asset 😂
