    Well considering this forum is all abought property… I would suggest you buy a business….

    Only j/king… But it’s kind of a hard Qs to answer since us strangers here have no idea about your skill set. We could say buy property, but if you built a business and floated on the stock market, and made over a couple of mill, we’ve just given you advice that really, dosen’t match your skill set. Also we don’t know your goals either… You might be comortable and just want high Capital Gains, or you might want another income, or you might want to reduce your tax, while still buying property, etc.

    We need more information. What are your goals? Do you want to work? What are your skills?

    Rgds.

    Flash,

    Have you experience in running businesses?

    Are you prepared to spend three years building up the business before it replaces your current salary?

    Do you know what type of business you wish to run?

    Owning and operating a business involves a VERY different skillset to being an employee….take your time & do lots of research!

    Cheers,

    Aceyducey
