[QUOTE=Benf199105;22268965]It's not "real" debt. He doesn't have to pay it off until he is earning at least £15,000 a year, and you pay a ridiculously small amount back a month that it is basically a non-existent debt. It's not like a mortgage. Hell, if you don't pay off the capital within 25 years it gets wiped away.[/QUOTE] True, but the guy I was quoting thought that OP had inherited £9000.
Maybe use it to find out more history about your nan? Or use it to make something to help remember them by?
[QUOTE=Reflectent;22264151]One thousand one dollar hookers.[/QUOTE] Actually he could get 1,445 one dollar hookers. Remember that little thing called the exchange rate that makes GBP more valuable than USD :) My advice though. Buy copious amounts of drugs, sell them off for a profit, and repeat until you're rich as fuck. Alternatively, invest in me, and I'll do the same thing.
Clothes and cosmetics.
Sorry for your loss :( I lost a lot of relatives myself but not as close as yours :(
I lost my grandpa, but got no monies :saddowns:

Ah, thanks for all your suggestions. I'm pretty sure I'm going to split it 30/70, spend 30% of it on stuff and save the other 70%. I already have £360~ in savings for a rainy day kinda thing. My nan and mom weren't buried, they were cremated. They both didn't like the image of 5/10 years down the line for their corpses to be rotten and all worms going through the nose into the eye etc. (or something like that). My mom had a plaque, on some wall, and my nan had hers by default on the floor. We've finally been allowed to have my moms and nans plaques located on their own newly built wall. I went to visit today, I bought 2 red roses and placed them on each plaque. I cried :(
[QUOTE=frankie penis;22264174]save it. keep depositing money to it, like £10 a week. over time you'll have a large savings account[/QUOTE] Do as this man says.
Buy some HOOKERS 'N BLOW!
Use $1-100 too buy something nice for your old-mans resting place, and use the rest to go fishing or donate it to charities.
Keep the £1000 safe, use it as a down payment for a house. Your grandmother would be proud that you used it for something constructive. You could use it on a car, but it's a waste. All cars will die eventually and you'll never have anything to show for it. With a house at least it's bricks and mortar and unlikely to lose any valve in this day and age with the property market picking back up. That is what i'd do.
Put it all in the bank into the highest interest account you can. Keeping adding to it over the years and if you get enough you can live off the interest
spend it on a scientology course.
I like how so many people are fixated on him having $1000 rather than £1000. You could put it onto a premium bonds account, rather than interest you have a chance to win £25 - £1000000 per month. Also, you can't lose any money by investing it in this way.
Travel around europe for as long as you can.
Don't save it! use to buy something nice to remember you Nan by.

By me a game please :colbert:
Emergency money / something that will help your future really, the main criteria (as far as morality goes) is, what would your late nan want it to be spent on

[QUOTE=Octyl;22264215]Invest it in fail companies and use the stocks as toilet paper.[/QUOTE] Fix'd. :smug:
Put it in a high interest savings account then take it out when you really need the money.
[QUOTE=ITokez;22264135]Use it to buy gold member[/QUOTE] Brillaint :v:
[QUOTE=Metanoia;22305109][B]what would your late nan want it to be spent on[/B][/QUOTE] Dunno about anyone else but i'm sure my grandparents would want me to have fun, and therefore would be happy with whatever way it was spent as long as it made me happy.. As far as "memorials" etc go, i would say no straight away, as i expect my grandparents would rather i had a good time. Go skydiving or something, a really awesome experience so every time you think of it, you are reminded of the people who made it possible!
