Hey guys,
Apologies - I'm sure this type of post is written almost weekly, just thought I'd explain my situation and see what opportunities are available.
I'm currently on a placement year at IBM, I'll be starting my final year in September. Over the years I've been able to accumulate around £15k in savings and I'm really unsure what to do with it. I hate knowing it's just sitting in my bank as opposed to earning some interest/profit.
I'm fairly business-minded, always thinking of ways to invest, profit etc etc. I gave Ebay/Facebook/Craigslist arbitrage a go but didn't find it sustainable - Yeah, I made a bit of money... but it wasn't worth the hours I spent searching through websites.
I've had a few ideas to create a blog/website and profit via affiliate links, Clickbank etc however I don't have the time to create content at the moment, so that's kinda out of the window.
I have some in an ISA currently. I don't want to add the rest into an ISA purely because I like having "financial security", if anything goes wrong I want to have some money available, so ISA's are out of the window.
Any proven methods guys? - I'd love to toy with shares but I'm not too clued up. I've also heard that £15k isn't going to make much money, so it comes down to whether the risk is worth the reward! (if any)
I'm sure I'll get a few people say "parents money" so I'll state now that I've earned this all through jobs. I've been working since I was 16.
Thanks guys, I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Connor
