Man v Wife - Double your money challenge

First off I need to confess this was my bright idea.

I thought it would be fun to challenge my wife to a competition.

We start with £500 each and see who can double it within a year.

5 days in and I've got a sneaking suspicion it might just be her!

So if anyone has any ideas to help me win please let me know....

Thanks in advance!

    You can ask for advice - but you must remove your blog link or this will be taken down very shortly, good luck!

    Hi,


    This sounds like it could be fun - but not sure I would be that brave.


    Have you thought about buying stuff in bulk and then selling on individually. I know there are sites out there for cheap bulk buying.


    Good luck. Sound like you're gonna need it.
