Recently been given some inheritance cash, it’s burning a hole!!!!

I don’t really need it, so thought I’d buy something fun… campervan or hot tub?

What would you/have you spent unexpected cash on? Ideas on a postcard please!

A friend said to me that taking up any new sport/activity in middle age seems to cost about £5k.

I took up kite surfing, he took up motorcycle drag racing... Good adrenalin and a sense of mastering a new skill off both, l know someone else who took up pottery...

That’s the point people miss. Income is income. Focus on the numbers. If they work multiply the strategy into say 20 properties you will have around £600k in equity and £4k a month net from minimal investment - you just have to work hard..

Not the most fun idea, but if you don't need the money, you could help change the lives of others who do. Invest or fund a community project, invest in community banks etc.

Bit of a boring answer, but you're 42, how's your pension? Have you maxed out your ISA for the year?

Failing that boring stuff, you do actually want to spend it, If you're single, I'd go on a holiday. 5k would buy you an absolute mint holiday, or you can use it to supplement some unpaid time off work. You could spend a month in Asia or you coukd spend 2 weeks somewhere amazing.

Alternatively if you're a member of a club, you could donate it to the club and have them name a new room after you!

Failing all that, a watch can be a great investment.

Errmmmm why do you HAVE to spend it?

Keep it in savings.

5k doesn't go very far these days.

Or if you really don't need it.

I'm sure there's plenty of worthwhile charities who'd happily take it off your hands.

Maybe go to your local food bank find out what they need the most and get a 5k food delivery dropped off.

Or

Send me the money.

Or

Use the money to give financial assistance to underprivileged children.

I'm very boring so would probably put it in an high interest account for a little while and let it build itself up

Failing that, I'm dying for a new car so would use it for a deposit on that

Is there anything you need OP or want to upgrade on? Or maybe you could get yourself something really nice/fancy that would remind you of the person you go the inheritance from whenever you look at or use it?

Also sorry for your loss x

I'd be mega boring & put it in a savings account!! Some fixed term 1 or 2 year ones are paying over 6% interest at the moment. If you find something you really want, you can still withdraw it, but if you don't think of anything at least it'll be increasing a little on the meantime!!
