I wouldn't change anythibng to my lifestyle with that money, just keep aside in case you need it, when you get sick or get married or something like this. Look to invest it in something on a 3-year term which gives you around 3% yield. Anything else is specualtion. If you want to speculate, I wouldn't know what to advise you in this economic climate, yileds should go up but it doesn't, inflation should go up, but it doesn't ... you can put 5k in some tech fund, it's speculative of course ... Or you can look to fund some projects on kickstarter. If you want to start a business, talk to a bank, get investors, get a business loan, don't risk your inheritance money. You will be more and better advised if you go the normal way. |

Buy somewhere that needs a LOT of work at one of those cheap property auctions - Pick it up for peanuts, tidy it up, then sell at a profit. Repeat until rich. Or, rent it out and pump the profits into more rental properties. Last Edited by Karlos on 08/07/2014 06:13 AM |

That 20,000 entries each month into the premium bond sweepstakes, and at the very least you get your 20,000 back at the end of it. But if I had that kind of cash and really wanted to grow it then putting in the sweat of your own brow and start your own business would be the best way to go. |

Sup, Quoting: Ideas please 60989362 Unfortunately my father passed away and I've inherited my share of the money from the sale of the house which is 20k (GBP).

Buy a website off Flippa or preferably a better brokerage - you will thank me someday for giving you this advice. Quoting: Ebola_Outbreak_News After a lot of research I'm leaning towards this as its a bit more up my street, but not with all of it - say up to 5-7.5k investment possibly, buy - grow - resell etc but a lot more research is needed not just into the methods but to also avoid scammers. Any other advice/personal experience you can share on this would be appreciated. The land idea is ok but expensive and land + house etc has and always will be a long term goal (for living in/on) but I will need to grow my money almost ten fold for this. Property is expensive and I've toyed with the idea of buy to let etc but the return vs effort/risks puts me on the fence. |

That is not soooo much. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 61296527 Keep most of it in cash at home, do not go shopping, continue with your lifestyle, otherwise it is gone soon. A day will come when you need it. . my pick too. the security of knowing it is there will benefit you every single day. also, if you are a Christian, consider tithing off it to a church or church cause you believe in.
