if you are 36 and worth a couple of million you should be giving out the advice0 -
.....its quite amazing that someone who has accumulated £600,000 has it in a current account.....in order to amass such a sum you must have more financial knowledge0

Could be inheritance. In the original poster's shoes, at that age with that much money I would see an IFA (or two to compare the advice/options) without hesitation.0
