What the BEST you can do with 1£ in hand?

Answer 1

N.S.P.C.C.....let them invest it for you.....you may not gain...but some child will.

Answer 2

Use other people's money. Come up with an idea such as a small business. Explain that you can give them a return on thier investment and what you can offer. The pound should be enough to buy a pen and paper for the plan and agreement.

I'd suggest if this were a child, start a lemonade stand or similar business. Get financial backing from other people's money (probably the parents), and sell them shares in the stand (they make a percentage of the profits and own part of the business), or pay a daily return on the debt borrowed.

Success or failure, the business will give the person a lot of good experience in business and finance, and those lessons are worth well more than 1 pound.

Answer 3

It all depends on what you consider the best.

The best for you might be to buy something straight away - like something to eat. Or you could put it in a jar and add your loose change to it, day by day.

Or go into a charity shop and buy something you consider worth more than £1 with your pound and then put it on ebay, sell at a profit and work your way up.

The best might be helping someone else by giving it to charity.

Answer 4

Consider gambling. but dont get addicted. go for horses or dogs that are not just favs to come in but there is an absoloute certainty in it. you'll earn a little more. why not try a roulette machine. they CAN earn you a considerable amount. the best way to do it is study the game. with a pound you could go for a colour to come in and IF you win you can start spreading your bets.

BEWARE: THIS IS JUST FOR FUN. DO NOT GET ADDICTED TO IT!! play your pound and if you loose it, don't try and recover it. if and when you win a bit more. put your pound (or a bit more) aside and gamble with the rest. that way you know your not loosing out on anything. but remember if you loose it, thats what happens and get over over it. do not fall into the trap of gambling extra to recover the lost amount. in such circumstances your certain to loose more than recover or gain.

oh yea, just read the charity one, if you do win please put a little of your winnings aside towards charity. I do this whenever I come into a bit money as well. it will make you feel god about yourself as well.

Answer 5

If that was all i was to have, it would not go far in the style of life i live, so i would have to give it to someone that needs it more than myself, ie. a homeless person, a charity, or a soup kitchen, in thought that others would do the same and build the amount to enough to help someone eat or be warm, i hope this helps you, good luck n life.
