What would you do with £50,000?

Buy a new comp
Buy a new Macbook Pro
Buy a car

5k, buy a decent car, 40k house (alongside a mortgage), 5k beer/curry money. Invest? Ha ha, not my kind of thing.

Would £50k get me through Uni, unipeople?

Yes... but just get the student loans and grants... :|.

In the likely instance you happen to run into £50,000.

Upgrade the family cars then spit what's left on mortgage and savings.

RIZZEE · 18 Jul 2009 at 13:17

car + car insurance
save some for uni
stuff for my room
save the rest

I would pay off my overdraft, put £40,000 in shares, and the rest would be spent on taking my girlfriend around the world traveling, since thats our (eventual) plans anyway.

I'd use the 50k to fund a deposit and running costs on my own HGV and work for myself.

G-MAN2004 · 18 Jul 2009 at 13:36

£50,000 would just get me through uni, so that's my choice.

Hi there,

Want to go to America, or something? :s

Indeed. Hopefully California next year.

Probably just buy a £50k car or something. Don't need much else..

mac1st3 · 18 Jul 2009 at 13:47

treat the family, buy a lot of games/computer stuff, student debts, live comfortably

Hi there,

I thought I remembered you saying about going to uni in the US. How are you going to pay all the tuition fees, living costs and so forth?

My parents, fortunately. Accommodation will be cheap though, as I know quite a few people over there willing to take me in.

VortX · 18 Jul 2009 at 14:53

Spend 10grand of it on crap I don't need and then invest the other 40k in a high interest account

CliffyBiro · 18 Jul 2009 at 14:56

Probably something boring like a deposit on a house.

Or, hire hookers for one superb year.

aardvark · 18 Jul 2009 at 15:03

20k gold
10k silver
5k small shares (mining,energy)
15k cash
