    If I gave you £50,000 - what would you do with it?

    Spend it? (on you or others?)

    Save it? (assuming no debts)

    Give it away?

    90% of it I'd spend on women, drinking, and fast cars. The rest I'd waste.

            Put it towards the deposit on a cardboard box in London.
            Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

              Surely it all depends on your age and circumstances. Clearly if you are yet to get some investment properties then it would be a good idea to buy, do up a property and then sell it on. Turn that £50,000 into £100,000 and then use the extra £50,000 to buy me a shiny new BMW X5......

              Rinse and repeat

                    Yes but the options are inadequate - where is the invest option? Where is the BMW option? Poll fail. worse still there is no AndyW option. Double fail
