Way to get most money

Hi,

I'm currently in my last year of school and am then taking a gap year before going to university.

I have a work placement from August through to March, after which there are some other things that I want to do.

While I am working, I want to do some stoozing and make the most money I can.

I'll probably be dealing with about £2000 stoozable funds.

How does stoozing affect my financial future?

What can I do with the money to get the most out of it for approx 6 months? How can I get the most interest?

Many thanks,

Froskoy.

    You need to be 18 to get a credit card, and you need a decent credit history to get the right credit cards for stoozing.

    Best bet for now would be to stick your 2k in a savings account and have it there for a safety net.

    Once your working, maybe speak to your bank about a starter credit card and spend a couple of years establishing a credit history. With any luck, interest rates will have recovered sufficiently for you to make a few quid from stoozing by then.

    Sounds good - and very sensible.

    To the future!

    Thanks very much for your help.
