I had an inheritance (unexpected) earlier this year and am hoping to spend it on IVF in the new year (if tests tell us it is worth a shot). We have one DC conceived naturally but cannot have any more without assistance. I have a huge longing to have another baby but do have moments of wavering when I think of spending this money! We both have decent jobs and no debt other than a medium sized mortgage, plus we have some other savings.

AIBU to ask, what would you spend the £10,000 on?

If £10k is all I had I'd bank it & use a clinic with a financing deal for IVF or take a loan (banks offer 7-10k for around 3% apr now). If 10k was part of a bigger pot IVF def.

I was talking about this today to my sister id pay off my loan and both credit cards which would leave me with £25 but I'd be £250 a month better off!

Personally I'd spend it on a flash holiday and put the rest in the rainy day fund.

In your shoes I would definitely go for ivf. I have no idea how much it costs but hopefully it would be a good starting point.

I'd pay off our debts, and use the couple of grand left for a holiday. We'd have a lot more disposable incomes if we weren't paying off debts, and it's a bit of a cycle at the moment. Would be lovely to be debt free.
