The good lady wife and I will be going full guns in 2015 - in it to win it, £1 million here we come!!

Just £80k in June though, why stage it like this?

Good way to invest £100k? I think so ..... £15k x 2 in NISA's.

Finally some decent news for savers!

It's sad that lower Bond Holders will have their chances of winning somewhat depressed by the big players ...... hey ho .....

    I won a big prize last year with just £60k worth ..... twice the chance (almost) with £100k.

    It's just part of the portfolio anyway ..... no way I would sink everything into it.

    Mixture of ISA's, Stocks and Shares, Property, Antiques, etc.

    I have been hoping they would open it up to only the big players .... to be honest.

    EH?

    I make a comment about buying Max Premium Bonds, on a money BBS.

    And, somehow, I'm trolling?

    Laughable .........

    Thank you OP for lending money to the government at a knock down rate - reduces taxes for us all.

    Pity there are not more [STRIKE]muppets[/STRIKE] investors like you;)

    Many on here don't like to hear success stories. If you're better than them and mention your finances, you're the worst scum. If you're doing worse than them and mention your finances they're all over you like a rash.

    Good luck with your premium bonds and ISA investments. I'm also delighted with the changes. I'm currently building up my ISA savings and appreciate the fact that I can move some into shares/funds to gain from an upward moving stockmarket, yet have the flexibility to go back to cash when things start to look ropey.

    I'm loving the pension changes, I've had years of naysayers on forums and in real life about my decision to load up my pension. All of the warnings from the doomsters have been proven wrong and all of the issues they had around access to the money, annuities and inheritance have all now gone.

    2.17% gross (1.3% net as 40% tax payer) doesn't do it for me either.

    If you insist on posting made up nonsense at least make it funny.
