I would say treat yourself to a grands worth of random stuff you fancy, perhaps a holiday if you want to spend a bit moreand that will satisfy the burning a hole in your pocket sensation, put the rest away in a 3 month account with decent interest. Ever thought of making a charitable donation if you have spare money hanging around ? rather than blowing it of stuff you don't need. Do you have, or plan to have kids, if so, put it away for them, first car, education, house deposit etc I am married, 3 kids, 1 house, 1 business - I have a 'phat' TV and sound system - 2 paid for cars worth £5k between them [at best] - a couple of grand in bonds, a grand in a trust and £750 in baby accounts for the kids. I had no intension on blowing my £8k on ****. It is purely there to make money. I would consider a business to be honest. An on line dildo shop or something. Would keep the Mrs happy anyway :thumb: Thanks for all the advise guys, especially the Lords :notworthy |

Make an over payment on your mortgage that will save you thousands.
Unit trusts, shares, european property, art, Betfair... |
You could donate it to "Help a London Child"
..mine, preferably :D |
OK. For now I have added to my premium bonds. I will readdress this subject next year :D
Thanks for all your interesting tips and suggestions ;) |
Right, I still have my ca$h in bonds, and I have one a total of £50 :(
Does anyone know of any good low risk investments? |
I've had 10k in premuim bonds for over 2 years and I've had a totally of £250 in winnings during that time:cry:
|
Stick £5k in a high interest account and use £3k to have a play with some shares
