    Any ideas where to put your cash

    Well its that time of year where you may have some spare cash to put somewhere where you may get a little interest , but where,
    Any ideas boys and girls and dont say your bank unless you will offer me 5% guaranteed ,
    I have been looking but with the ISA rates so low and the best i have seen is the Santander 123 account, you get a great 3% on savings upto £20000,
    Yes there are things you have to do for that but there is nothing that comes close to that, unless you know different , so any other ideas anyone

    Transfer to a Philippine a/c before exchange rate becomes any lower if you plan to live there

    No interest on savings compared to here, yes if it jumps above 70 then it may be worth looking into

    Actually this is excellent advise, if you think the exchange rate is going to drop.

    Let's take £10,000 as an example....

    IF you get 5% here then you'll earn £500 interest

    Exchange to peso's and it'll work out at 650,000php (65/£)

    If it were to drop to say 62 within the year you'd get 620,000php, difference of over £480

    Could always go the other way though

    My spare cash gets put in my penny jar



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    That's the problem, better to leave here in a Santander account making £600,
    But like I asked is there anything else out there

    Arbitrage betting isn't 100% risk free and far less lucrative than normal betting on horses for example.

    not true- a lot of european members in PM and with a good VPN you can access sites.

    any doubt look up Mike Cruikshank- hes the guy behind it- look at his reviews- all positive-this guy is the real deal

    Those words are his not mine. Scroll down and you'll see.

    I don't doubt that money can be made from arbing but there's still not a 100% guarantee every time due to the odds changing in the blink of the eye, websites not loading, computer crashing etc

    I've just decided to take pay some Additional Voluntary Contributions to the company pension fund. The fact that you get Tax Relief at your highest rate was the deciding factor for me.

    If i was still wanting to stay in employment i would be doing just that, you will not get a better rate, thats if you live long enough to enjoy it that is,
    I am thinking i have just another 1 year of working left so i have to look else where

    Well its all about done now,
    2 accounts set up with Santander and hopefully another one soon, that will give 3% on upto £20000 in each account, plus we can have a 5% savings but only on £200 per month fixed for a year too,
    Yes you have to have this and that and pay £5 for each account but its the best thing out there at this moment,
    Now all we have to do is find a good ISA rate

    Well I thought I would just mention that all is well so far.
    The best thing is when you have a problem and you use the telephone to talk to someone,
    Once you have got through the security they answer the phones with in seconds, a very good service that many don't do
