How would it impact your life (if at all) and how would you use it?

Just for fun! 😃

I'd pay off my car loan and put some into savings

WingingIt101 · 21/02/2021 07:38

we bought a family "forever" home just before Christmas. We know its great for us but to be perfect it needs an extension that's been quoted at £30k so it would go toward that!!

I was given £10k last year.from my mum 's inheritance, I've put it in a 1 year high (ish) interest rate account then next year we're going to use it to put in a downstairs loo.

We already over pay the max. Allowed on our mortgage & DD has about £10k in savings so this is for something to add value to the house and something I want

I'd pay off the rent and the council tax that I owe due to having no job for a year and then I might have a couple of extra months before I get chucked out at least it should be warmer by then.

5k off the mortgage and 5k spent on the kitchen.

Build my dream walk in wardrobe and full it will some amazing stuff

It would reduce my debt by about a third- to manageable levels basically, without a DMP.
So it would actually be life changing in a small way.

Pay off the remaining car loan
Buy a new boiler and have it installed
Save the rest

Chuck it into savings - be a nice addition to deposit we are building up.

If we weren't shortly looking to move house, I would chuck £9k into savings/overpay mortgage and then buy myself a nice piece of antique jewellery with the £1k.

Given, not gifted (not a proper word.) I'd pay into mortgage with most and have some beauty treatments with the remainder.
