    I can offer 11.89% via an ethical investment. I'll send you my address and you then send me a cheque made out to the Christian Approach to Social Harmony, or CASH for short.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    What is it with multiple messages about 20 somethings and large amounts of cash?
    It appears DeadLine is a future spammer trying to get its post count up so that it can start posting links.

    11.89%, step aside! It is 13.4% for a 7-year fixed rate deal at MASH, Methodist Amalgamated Savings Holdings. Completely trustworthy, and ethical of course. Class A and C drugs included, we have Paul Flowers on the board.

    Unbelievable, this site is called money saving expert, the proof is in the name, it's designed to save you money. I only gave you a rough out lay of my situation and my short term future so I can get appropriate responses and I get unhelpful remarks.

    Why would people encourage me to move into a more expensive property or condone me for buying a home with a discount. It's not called moneywasteexpert.com is it!!! Regardless of my circumstances I was asking for advice and not for judgement to be imposed upon me.

    Oh and if I was going to make it up I would stretch to a couple of million in savings rather then a few 100k. I got my money legitimately and legally and I don't appreciate people thinking I must of broke the law or something.

    If you can't give constructive advice then don't give any at all, and get a life.

    Thank you

    i would speak to your IFA about investing in unit trusts or a discretionary fund manager who would ascertain your attitude to risk and make all the big decisions for you. they could invest it for you for growth and then when the timing is necessary provide an income. and by the way way to go on turning the life around :)
