Bush Rummager 4,152 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Premium bonds are hit and miss but that's part of the attraction.. obviously you never know what you're going to get. I find over the years your wins will average whatever the interest rate is so you'd be getting around 5 k in wins over a year I should think if you maxed out 50k each for you and the Mrs. 50k is the max per person. I enjoy having a flick through the big winners each month hoping to see holders with small amount landing a big prize! I know I'll win one of two 1 million pound prizes each month but wedge of 50 or 100k would do nicely!

Borr 5,282 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I'd chip it off my mortgage, but if I was mortgage free and looking to invest I'd either have a little crack at a business , maybe making canal boats or metal sculpture as it suits my interest or I'd put it aside for house deposits for kids. If I was well off and young enough I'd probably buy a load of cheap Spanish properties and sit on then until good times came around again.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,267 Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 I'd pay my mortgage off and with the leftovers put a good deposit down on a buy to let, the price of renting now it will pay for itself in no time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where you just buy the hull and engine brand new then he fitted it out himself. He's ad it year's and reckons he made dollar on it. Been saying he'd like to do another, especially now retired and got a cracking private mooring. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only downside is you cant use it how you like, to an extent. Woodland doesn't even have inheritance tax. Or at least that used to be the case. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
