Where to put your money??
Where are you putting your savings? upto 35k£ may be safe for each UK bank account but in reality inflation is much higher than any interest rate and it could all collapse at any minute.Is gold a safe bet? I have savings in pounds,dollars and euros and are concerned that they are worth less every year regardless of interest:frown:

Re: Where to put your money??
Gold, minerals and art.
Especially art by 'unkown' artists with potential working in Spain ;) The few savings I have I stuck in some sort of fixed term 'guaranteed' investment bonds. Safe as houses I thought. Then again houses aren't quite as safe as they used to be. Wobbly times for money in any investment, but gold, minerals and art rarely drop in value. Copper is still being used up at a rapid rate and no-one's going to be sticking any more in the ground. Supply and demand means it can only increase in price unless of course someone comes up with a viable, and renewable alternative. |

I might even investigate Krugerands myself. Or, perhaps, someone knows a better source of gold to buy? |

Definately stocks and shares! Had you put your £35k into HBOS shares on Wednesday morning, you could have been sat on the thick end of £100k by this morning.

Yay! No way? I win :D Joking sadly. What is all this crazyness? Cash under the mattress is the worse thing to do with rising inflation. |
