Hi there,
I was given 10.000 USD as a wedding gift last week. Could someone advice how I should use this money? I don't have any debts apart from mortgage.
And also where is the best place to exchange this money to Pounds?
Thanks...
:p

    Where is this money ?

    Your own Bank is probably the best place to start. Get them to confirm the rate before you agree to amy exchange....don't allow them to fob you off with excuses that they can'y confirm etc etc.
