Premium Bond Winner ?

Primrose

Like some others on here, I always feel that "lucky money" should be used wisely and invested for rainy days ahead but I guess that people are either spenders or savers.

  My grandmother when in her 80's was "still saving up for her old age" and I'm afraid I,ve inherited a lot of her genes so unless Ernie maximum holding is increased, my odd winnings go into my ISA.

My winnings just contribute to £10 a month of income. If I ever get a big win then sure I may invest it or stash it as long term savings.

1 x £50 on £26K, first £50 I have had since it stopped being the minimum.

What do those with max holdings do to minimise the temptation to spend the small winnings? Surely the point of it is to reinvest them somewhere or are you just holding out for a big win? 

I transfer it to Mrs RP's PB account which isn't maxed out.

Since retiring my monthly income is of course a lot smaller. So this months win means I can pay off my credit card in full as usual. Instead of taking it out of my Virgin M account.

Probably the most sensible investment you can make !

1 x £25 for me and 2 x £25 for other half.  Both hold 50k each.    Guess we should be are happy with that.

£25 for me on £50K

I have won 10 times out of 12 last year - sometimes 25, 50 or 75

I would love to have a couple zeros added to those figures, but at least I am winning something
