It’s an impossible question really, because it depends on circumstance.

For me, 1k is good money, but wouldn’t radically change things, so I’d invest, but for someone else it might mean a relatively pleasant six months instead of horror, sooooooo…

Well depends on how greedy one is 😉 I wouldn’t touch a CFD with a barge pole but general commodities through brokers definitely ! XAU can also fluctuate based on rate of inflation as you’d most probably know 🤓 it seems more logical than going through the effort of short selling Tesla on a daily basis 😂

Yes good point - it really depends what mood you’re in haha!

Yesterday I probably would have saved it all, but today after scrolling through ASOS New In this morning I’m more inclined to say that I’d spend it all 😂
