Savings Idea

DebtHater

Ive been thinking of different ways in which I can put a bit of money aside, nothing too serious, not worried about interest rates but I do want it to go somewhere safe.

A friend of mine uses a fruit machine, picked it up cheap and he plays it regularly in his spare bedroom, I thought this would be a good idea, treating it like a piggy bank really

Any one else got any weird ideas like this?

I'd favour a pinball over a fruit machine because:
1) I prefer them
2) They are more likely to go up in value than a fruit machine - there is only 1 company left making them (Stern).

I may be biased - I own a pinball machine which I got for a song. I got it without the coin mechanism though so I'd need to put a piggybank beside it if I was using it for savings.

The only downside is you have to be prepared to do at least minor maintenance on it yourself. I bought mine for fun rather than as an investment and have no plans to part with it, although I could now get around 5 times what I paid for it. If only I had a bigger house I would get more. Though Mrs Reaper might have other ideas...

That really made me giggle. Fab idea. I'd invite friends round, tell everyone to bring a bottle and loose change, and have a pub night, with a quiz and everything! Hehehe, evil cow I am, to use my friends so...

Maybe if the Grim Reaper pinball ever got made I could win her over:
