You've got 10k and no baggage....

[Orchid1]

You've got £10,000 and no baggage ie marriage, kids, mortgage or responsibility.

What would you do? Would you take the money and run away to start a new life or maybe move to a really cheap part of the world and live like a king for a while?

[DrDeAtH]

Supercharged big block V8...

[The Nur]

Probably head to somewhere really exotic and cheap.

This. Or improve the house, upgrade the car, take a couple of really good holidays. 10k doesn't go that far.

[dudleybloke]

See the world.

10 grand Sterling? Spend it asap or buy Swiss Francs.

[ruggedscotty]

£10,000 isnt that much.... but you can put it to good use.

1. Buy some premium bonds say £5k.

2. go somewhere for a once in a life time holiday.....

[Jasandjules]

Buy a TVR Chimaera...

I remember an interviews with Micheal Winner where he said if someone stripped him naked and put him in the street with a million pounds he would kill himself.

Yup.

TEFL and a few years in Korea, Japan or a South Sea Island.

[Vitorio]

Right now, 3-4K on getting rid of the house without taking a loss, the rest on making a fresh start in my own place.


In a no mortgage/etc.. situation, a long holiday in italy and my motorcycle license + gear + simple cheapo jap bike

[bazza white]

A nice holiday and put the rest away for a rainy day. 10k seems a lot but you never know what's around the corner.

You will spend nearly all you earn on accommodation in Japan / Korea. Not met any Tefl teachers who have worked on South Sea islands.

Try the Gulf. You'll need more than just Tefl though.

More than 5 hours in and nobody has suggested coke and hookers?

Things must be slipping.

I was in this same situation in January aout 10 years ago. It was cold and wet in the UK so packed a small bag and flew to Rio. Then traveled overland to Argentina. Got as far south as Antartica...

[coopedup]

Put towards a deposit for my own place.
