You can get at least 4% on an instant access account these days, even more with a fixed or regular saver.

There won't be a global banking crash, although there undoubtedly will be a few jitters and possibly a bailout or two. The pound could dip a bit further, particularly if core inflation doesn't start moving in the right direction. If it was me, I'd keep my money in the S&S ISA until I needed it.

I'd knead her dough IYKWIM.

I'd develop an unhealthy infatuation with her before taking ages to pluck up the courage to make a half-hearted move and get rejected, IYKWIM.

You sound quite happy about a guaranteed loss of wealth.

Inflation only matters about the thing you're specifically using the money for. Wider inflation of x is irrelevant when the only thing that matters is the price of y.

You're right. If he only ever pays for his TV license and media subscriptions, games and toys, electrical items and education, he'll be quids in.

The money is for a stag do/wedding, which are usually booked well in advance, and for driving lessons. He's only going to 'lose' money if the growth in his savings is lower than the increase in cost of what the money will be spent on. It doesn't matter if his grocery shopping goes up 25% if driving lessons only go up by 2% in a year because everything else is completely irrelevant.

I'm not sure that's the correct way of looking at it all, because opportunity cost is opportunity cost, but regardless I just Googled the average lesson price and supposedly they're now 25% higher than what I paid towards the end of last year.

FWIW BSM offers one instructor in my area for automatic lessons and the robbing bastard wants 55 quid an hour.

>>9693
Taxis are more than £55 an hour, and they don't have the nightmare of letting you incompetent bastards drive, with all the insurance and car damage (and utter frustration of dealing with the kind of slow learner who needs automatic lessons).
Everything is pisstakingly expensive.

Are they fuck.

Only millionaires take black cabs.

I learnt with BSM in 2010/11, only £20 an hour back then. I know 12 years is a long time, but for them to almost triple, ridiculous.

>>9696
For qualified manual instructors they had one reasonable price and one not so reasonable IMO.

>>9697
Anyone a bit less enriched?

ok, Uber have changed the game. Not that they'll come out here, so it's crippling and unavailable minicabs or nowt. Last time I looked to see how much an uber would be from work to home (70 minutes) it was well over £100 - I guess as I'd be paying both ways.
Still, I don't think that driving for Uber, Shite-cabs or BSM are routes to easy riches.
