What would you do with £2000?
A family member has passed away leaving me about £2000 and I'm trying to think of something to get with it. My grandad left me £1000 a few years ago and i bought a private number plate.
I'd like to get something nice not toys  |

We would put it towards a deposit for a flat or house. Or if we are going down that line of ‘what would we blow it on because money wasn’t an issue’ probably a nice holiday, car or something like that.
Have a lovely time spending it! My great aunt left me a 8th of her house when she passed away and got a very nice sum, I paid all my debts off, got a very nice people carrier, massive tv, other household items, holiday to Tenerife, massive spending spree for me (this was ten years back) plus the kids were very happy!! It was lovely to be able to pay my debts off and still have loads left for nice things.

I think the best way to look at it is this...
What would you spend it on if you’d just won £2000 in a competition? Would you spend it differently? If no, then splurge away. If yes, then spend it on something lasting that will have meaning |

Over 20 years ago my twin sister and I were both left some money when a relative died.
We had a chat with our mum about it and asked if she thought our relative would approve of us spending it on a holiday. The reaction was to go for it. The person who died was always one to enjoy a good party and live it up.
We had a fantastic trip to Florida followed by a cruise around the Bahamas. It is something we would never have been able to afford without the inheritance and a holiday we will never forget. |

1. Buy a bunch of flowers and try to find a woman who would never normally receive them. Ninja flower giving can be lovely.
2. Get a load of groceries and give them to someone who is really struggling or load the money onto a card to use t a particular supermarket. Do it anonymously if you want.
3. Take a trip somewhere new, so you can always associate it with your late relative.
4. If there is anything left save it for that rainy day. You can thank the late relative again when you need to use it. |

I’d buy another piece of artwork & a pair of Louboutins or 2 pairs of Jimmy Choo’s & a Mulberry handbag. Or put it towards a hysterectomy & tummy tuck
In reality I’d probably use it on the house or a family holiday.

I’m quite ok money wise so if it was me I’d approach someone like Aldi and buy £2k worth of food to donate to a foodbank or give it to a local church to put on a Sunday lunch for local pensioners.
OP, consider the person, your relationship with them and what would they appreciate you doing with it |

I recently got some unexpected money and bought myself a new pair if long Dr martens, and paid off my debts. I have a few things that I'll be able to keep a long time and a few technology things that I would have otherwise gone without. The main thing though was paying off my fridge freezer and revamping my wardrobe. Though I've lost well over a stone since then so most of the clothes are redundant already lol m |

Give some a good lump away anonymously to someone you know who is really struggling. Tell them you heard they had a need and thought you share on the one condition they also gave some of it away in the same way anonymously as you did so they know the feeling few experience of helping someone out without anything in return. |
