What to do with 60k
Options

Hi - would appreciate some advice.
Recently split up with my partner. Our house is going up for sale and hopefully we will come away with some money for a potential deposit for another property.
I already have approx 10k in an ISA. And might come away with approx 50k after the house is sold.
My options seem to be - try and find a flat that is in my price range and move straight in. (If affordable)
Or
Move back to my parents for a while and save. Max out my ISA. But what do I do with the rest of the money?
Thanks

If you are going to need cash in the short term, you will not want to use stock market based investments.

I think it’s quite difficult for people to comment without knowing further information such as your age, employment status, other savings/pensions etc...."If you aren’t willing to own a stock for ten years, don’t even think about owning it for ten minutes” Warren Buffett
