Hi,
I have just won a large amount - amazing!! And it has put me in an interesting situation. What to do?!
1st step - pay off credit cards
2nd step - what to do with rest? I have mortgage but can only pay off 10% early without charges ... leaving me with a substantial amount to sort out. Do I pay off that 10% and put rest in savings account? If so, where?
What do you guys think?
