10,000 € Worth of Gold

So, I inherited 10,000€ from my grandmother and don't just want it lounging on my account, as I will inevitably end up (slowly but surely) spending it on trivial, unnecessary stuff.
I have absolutely no clue about finances, investing, etc. and will schedule an appointment with my bank soon, but I wanted to give it a shot on TSR, just to see what you all may have to say on the topic. (I'm sure you guys think I'm just underscoring my cluelessness by asking for advice on here, but some of you seem rather savvy in the monetary/economics department)

What would you do with 10,000€ if you wanted to secure it for future emergencies/other expenses?
It isn't really that much money, so I can't buy a house or anything, obviously. Investing in a company (at most a start-up with 10k) is too risky. I want something relatively secure.

I have heard about this gold trend with companies, etc. and might be interested in going that route, but are 10k even enough to buy a decent amount and do individuals even have the chance to acquire gold in that form? Would it even be a good investment? Any thoughts?

Put it in an ISA with good interest?

I don't live in the UK currently, but of course they have saving accounts here too. I was thinking of something even more secure though, in case there should be some dreaded financial crisis.

Thanks, anyway, for the idea.

Speak to an independent financial advisor (IFA) as well as your bank as they will be able to advise on a range of investments rather than just what your bank offers.

£10k isnt going to do much to insulate you from a financial collapse should such an event occur. You'd be better off buying a truck full of tinned food and a shotgun.

Infact £10k isnt going to do much anywhere. I wouldn't be so worried about investing it, just chuck it into a cash savings account and use it towards a house deposit.

Is this advice?

Really not worth it for 10k imo. The fees will eat up a huge chunk of it.

Should be around £200-300 for a couple of hours work. Arguably worth it for someone living outside the UK with a very low tolerance to risk and no investment knowledge.
