Lab 10,979 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Well I have the answer right here. Just been to the Sealife Centre with the girl and her wee boy. £27 quid to get in, a few fish, couple of penguins, couple of seals. Round it in 15 mins. So open one of them and make a killing...the robbing b*****ds. Got the cheek to say "don't touch the fish".....lucky I'm not asking to take a few home!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It depends what you want to do and what your situation is, if you're not working or want to retire and try something or just an investment to work alongside your day job. Obviously if you have no other money coming in 20K isnt going to be a start in property unless you also have additional salary coming in to cover the additional mortgage you would need and any overruns or cost that you dont envisage beyond the 20K. But.. it is a deposit for a small property providing you can get the mortgage for the rest The amount of money that someone would need to set up and no longer work will vary from person to person. You will have to work it out based on your own circumstances. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 26,211 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 20k you would be able to set up a venture of some sort, but then the hard work begins, you only eventually get out what you're prepared to put in I'm afraid. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dare 1,103 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Bit off subject but to do with money. How much would you on here say you need a week in order to live? Whenever I've got a pay rise at work I've just found more useless shit that I don't need to spend it on. Mind you it's never been much of a pay rise lol. Just wondering what people do when they get more money save it or just say prehaps eat better food brands lol. Really after you've paid the bills and cupboards are full of food do you need anymore? Rest suppose just goes on vices and hobbies? At the moment I'm just trying to save but also looking at what sort of payments it'll be for the mortgage and wondering how much really do most people have for themselves after their out goings.

terryd 8,050 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I would just keep it for rainy day or emergency. It puzzles me when people get a lump sum and they try and make it grow by buying a business for example which nine times out of ten is doomed and just watch it all go out the window. I would just carry on as per normal and spend it as I wanted personally Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Totally depends on your expenses, no one can answer that for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wxm 1,638 Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've seen 3 people get between 40k and 75k and each have blown it in 12 - 18 months with literally feck all to show for it, not 1 of them own their own house and could have knocked of a huge lump off it or even bought it outright ..... But noooo the blew it on shite box cars / vans / out drinking and meals ..... And at their ages 40+ you'd have thought they'd have had more Sence 20k to me would start me off good and proper, hire a Luton / straight to a auction / rent a shop ..... Put a big sign in the window "CLEARANCE" and watch them flock in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
