Index linked saving certificates are back

[DimPrawn]

£15000 max, not worth the hassle imo

You can get them for your kids too and the mrs of course, so for some people here it might be a decent amount to stash away.

Yep, my 3 year old lad has £15K of Index Linked Certs (3 yr bonds - not available at the moment) and £30K of Premium Bonds too.

Not sure about Premium bonds. Seems a waste of money. I bought Tarquin a couple of gold necklaces and soveriegn rings but he has trouble standing up in the cot when I do, so I;ve got him a personal trainer & some steriods to bulk him up. :

Agree about the Premium Bonds, but wife thinks young Wayne Prawn might be "lucky".

Even if you believe the RPI figures and are happy with 0.5% return for a 5 year investment, what about the biggie: that the pound is going to be worth flip all in 5 years. Isn't the economic plan to inflate let savers pay?

Yep, hence why I've got small change in these things and close to a million in gold and shares.

Close to a million? That means LESS than a million then!
