How would you spend/invest £10,000 ?

What would you do with 10k? Personally, I might put it in a S&S ISA to lock it away for a few years and receive a sum after this.

Or a new car :colondollar:.

Most ISA's are **** tbh. 10K

5K at Lloyds using Club Lloyds (4% AER + freebies)

2K at TSB using TSB Plus (5% AER)

3K at Bank of Scotland, or maybe even Tesco (3% AER)

Never keep any balance above 5K at Lloyds

Neverkeep any balance above 2K at Lloyds

ALWAYS keep your balance at 3-5K at BOS

Never go above 3K at Tesco

This does require some "fiddling" with the banks tho :biggrin: BUT you do stand to make (pre tax):

~£200/year at Lloyds
~£100/year at TSB
~90/year at BOS/Tesco

So ~£390 pre tax. Not too shabby

Tax it by 20% = ~£312

Im guessing you dont pay higher rate tax, but IF you do (ie: if you earn what 35K(?)+ ), then that's ~£234/year

Most ISA's are **** tbh

Also, make interest on the interest. Eveyr month, scrape the money you make out of the respective banks, and make more money!

If you're on the 9K fees for uni, then yeah it might make sense to actually pay them off tbh, because you get charged way too much for borrowing imo (Not applicable for 3K'ers)

Much to your parents approval hahah
Buy a few vintage/leather corsets and various other expensive leather things.

Beyond that, I'd go backpacking across China and buy gifts for all family and best friends.
