So I found an old forgotten pension I had and thought I'd call them up to get a value thinking I might get a couple of ££ to reinvest in my works pension. However I got a massive surprise and was advised it was a 5 figure sum pre tax. So now I am thinking I should update my car and go the dream holiday and still invest the rest.
What would you do if you got an unexpected windfall? |

Get my gardens all done up so I don’t need to cut the grass all summer!!
So extend driveway so two cars can fit in side by side and extend the decking in the back garden and have a summer house with hot tub  |

I tend to use any windfalls to take kids on holiday and put money into savings accounts I have for when the kids are older, Tbh for me life is about experiences more than possessions so I’m not a saver, life too short  |

"I’d invest it in my pension and see if I could retire early. Get financial advice before making any decisions. "
I don’t think I’ll live long enough to benefit from my pensions lol I personally plan cashing them in as soon as I can |
