What would you do with £8000
 

I have £8000. For the moment I have everything I need, and thus this cash is floating around. I really want to invest it or similar. Other than savings accounts or premium bonds, what would you do with the cash short term [or long term depending on the rewards?].

Any advice or guidance appreciated. :)

piss it up the wall?

Stick £7000 in an ISA of some sort.

Galloise in the 15:30 at Nottingham ;)

All good suggestions :D

think the isa is the best bet to get a reasonable return, nmaybe put 6k in it and have 2k for a cracking holiday

Look at guaranteed interest bonds

or high interest rated accounts

hit the casino and as wesley snipes said 'always bet on black'

i hit the red three times in a row with 500 a go and walked out potless

Lord Shrek....if you want to wait 10 years for your ISA to make you 50 pound profit go ahead andym3 branson :thumb:

Fill up M3?

Serious suggestion: assuming you still have a mortgage, can you pay it in? depending on annual interest etc when the best timing etc is.

You can say that again! About M3's I mean.

Les :)

I no longer have the M3. But the 850 T5 I run is a little worse on fuel :Whatever_

I don't really need to worry about the mortgage ;)

Best idea thus far seems the casino :thumb: :D

Go to thailand and get a ladyboy :norty:

Round the World trip?

Buy a motorbike ..............

named ting tong??? pmsl

Buy an Elise and run it for a while.

Stick it in a high interest account!!

Bought a lock up garage about 5 years ago for less than you can put in an ISA, returns 20% pa tax free (to my son), and has therefore has paid for itself. It's increased in value & holds a small potential for a windfall if the block gets demolished & a planning app goes in.
And if I can't let it, I'll use it to stash another toy ;)

D

I can't believe no one has made the ubiquitous 'cocaine and hookers' comment yet ! :D

You can get an 04 Evo FQ320 for that on EBAY ;)

And waste whatever is left :D

Keep it for when you may need it.

I have done this, been flush, bought daft stuff and then regretted it later when I was skint, its amazing how a grands worth of hifi speakers seems like a good idea when you are wedged but complete folly when you aren't, plus like most stuff bought just cos you have the money its worth arse all when you come to sell it because you are skint.

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 dont need.

Do you have, or plan to have kids, if so, put it away for them, first car, education, house deposit etc

The davegtt charity is in desperate need of funding if your thinking of donating ;) :D

Is that the same as davegtt's big drinks fund? ;)

Send me a cheque for "Charitable Aid for Sj's Homeless" If you can't fit that all on the top line then the initials CASH will do ;)

Possibly, but Im not going to admit to that now am I :D

Dave, I thought that was for the op ?

You think ladyboys work for free?

exactly...go on a fekin rock n roll riot

drugs alcohol and sex and more drugs alcohol and sex

youll remember your month of depravity when your older in your wheel chair in your old peoples home p1ssing and sh1tting into a bag with fonder memories than doing the 'invest in a shrewd ISA' path which will be of fuk all use to you when the nurse is wiping the pebble dash from your stinking backside

Lord Shrek......no pension or saving plans but i have got a strong right hand :thumb:

As pointed out by another Lord !


booze and hookers

the only way to go better that then leaving it ti sime neice/nephew who will probaby do the same with it
