Ideas what to do with £500.00?

claire16c

We went to Venice in March last year and paid around £500 for flight and hotel for 3 nights. So Id do something like that!

But Person One has a good point. If £500 is literally your entire savings, I wouldnt be spending any of it.

No actually. What else can you say? Why ask a load of strangers what to do with £500? How can they know what a poster likes or enjoys and it's hardly worth seeking investment advice on such a small sum.

I honestly thought it would just be a nice thread, what you would do with £500, I did say I didn't want material things more memory things. I do appreciate that to some £500 isn't a lot of money and on the other hand £500 is so much to some.


Bruges is a lovely idea so is Prague if we went before April then we could probably do it for £500 ish.


There is some lovely ideas on here that I might not of thought of so thank you everyone for replying.

Give it me if you like....

If this is your only savings, I wouldnt spend it. I'd put it into a savings account - you never know!

Public website mate. People can post what they want. I've not been insulting or made injurious remarks.

Indeed. Most people are still decent on public websites though. I've just seen some of your other posts which make it quite clear that you are a troll. I'll click the ignore button and be done with it

You've saved up £500, so is this the only pot of savings you've got or is this just a little 'bonus' pot separate to your rainy day savings?

If it was me, at the moment, I'd be sticking any spare money straight in my savings account which is dwindling alarmingly low!

No I also have savings too, I think that life is far to short (recently lost many close relatives) to be saving every penny we have. I want to look back on my life and remember all the good times we had not a lot of what if's

Well, its a balance, isn't it? Its no good living like a miser and dying in a freezing hovel with half a million quid under the mattress.

Equally, its no good spending every penny on having a good time and 'living for today' and then finding that you're screwed when your boiler packs in!

I would save a little more and use it for a short, long haul break - e.g. a
long weekend in New York or Vegas.

Have you considered a "Dutch dash" from Hull on the Ferry?
