You find yourself at that point in your life when you have a spare £250 per month, I mean after all bills paid and the usual dinners out and holiday savings ect. So what do you do with it?
Do you move house? Do you get a new car? No point saving it as you already have savings that you don't touch & pension is sorted.
So what would you do with your £250 per month?

Turn it into pennies and slowly start filling the smallest room in your house.

Over pay your mortgage?

Buy a buy to let and expand portfolio?

Say your Mortgage is sorted, I mean you have £250 pm to do with what ever you want, it doesn't affect any of the families options it is your "hobby" money, most smokers literly burn that a month & no I didn't want to start smoking.
I am interested in what others would do with it?
Me, I got a interest only mortgage and got my self a bolt hole in the Alps, so I can ski in winter and sit outside drinking wine in the summer but everyone is different, so what's your ideas & no I don't want to lease a Golf R.

Spend it on a racecar actually in fact that's why I already do with a lot more than £250 spare per month.

Personally I'd invest it or look at a way to get a return.
If not could look into buying a cheap track day car and have a few days out with the boys?
I'd probably just treat myself to a good bottle or go out for a nice meal.

Buy £250 worth of fairly high risk stocks every month? Gamble, basically smile

I'd use it for some quality travelling, doing things I never thought I'd do, or seeing places I never thought I'd see. What would your father have wanted you to do ?

I assume you mean £250k but you just forgot to write the k at the end?

Anyway, I use mine to buy the odd business, bump up my fleet of ultracars and support numerous worthy charities like the Homeless and Alcoholic Ex-Heartbeat Stars trust.

HA, this is hilarious.
What are all the renters going to do then?
Die with the landlords?

Red letter day, try something new each month.

Lessons in something that interests you. A musical instrument, painting, pottery, photography, car mechanics etc..

An extravagant meal out. Maybe try some swanky restaurants.

Build up a pointless collection of watches, like I have smile

Charity.

Another car. This is PH after all (and what I always seem to end up doing...)
