I dont want to make a rubbish 5% a year intrest with a bank, but I do want to be safe... any ideas?

Answer 1

Invest your money in Eastern Europe with NO RISK at 10% a year:

£20,000 at10% APY becomes £32,210 after 5 years; or£51,875 after 10 years.

You could also make a low risk investment at 15% per year.

£20,000 at15% APY becomes £40,227 after 5 years

Some banks pay up to 16% per year!

Good luck!

Answer 2

Safe? 5% is safe but boring.

If you want money you need some level of risk. Find your own level.

Renewable energy. Solar and wind. Done!

Answer 3

Study after study shows that you should invest in low-cost index funds, diversify and stay the course.

Make sure you have an emergency fund so you don't have to pull money out of investments during a down market. Then, set up an asset allocation based on your risk tolerance, pick low-cost index funds and leave it all alone unless your risk tolerance changes. Add money whenever you can. Pay attention to taxes.

Answer 7

How?

Figure out why you are investing, be specific (to buy a house, to fund your retirement, to pay for your childrens' college needs).

From there you need to set a goal. (Like, when  I retire at age 60 I need to have $5,000/week for 30 years)

Then, you should know how long you would be investing for (in this case 40 years).

Then, figure out what level of risk you need to take or can take in order to achieve your goals.
