Ask HN: What to Do with £100K ($132k)
I have a main account but am using a throwaway for hopefully obvious reasons.
The background to my situation is:
I'm younger than 34 years old. I recently split with my partner and will get about £100,000 after selling the house.
I have a daughter (younger than 4 years old), but otherwise no obligations.
I have been living in the South West of the UK (Cornwall) but have temporarily relocated to East Europe in order to save money and also create a 'clean break' financially from my former partner who has tried various underhand means of extracting more money from me (while she both didn't parent or work during the relationship; long story).
I earn circa £100k/year via a limited company for tax reasons.
My question to ya'll is therefore:
What would _you_ do with £100K?
- Invest nearly all of it? - Get an apartment that I AirBnb? - Spend it on beanie babies / NFTs? - Keep it in the bank? - Something else?
I'm very curious to harness the collective hive-mind of HN-ers; an eccentric community I respect.
Potentially relevant side-note:
I would like to buy my own property again one day, especially when I relocate back to the South West of the UK (in the next 12 months I suspect). But on my salary, saving for a mortgage deposit shouldn't be too difficult anyway.
