Orginally posted under investments, but post was not responded too, this thread seems more sympathetic to low income issues!!!!
At 50, with interrupted career for childcare and elder care I am now in the position of not having a pension at all. I have about 100,000 invested in a small property. I have received an offer on the property, which has ended up a 'holiday' place, which i am tempted to accept.
My daughter 15, will hopefully go to college, as a single earner i could get a mortgage but it would make living very tight (i.e. half our income).
any rules of thumb when it comes to making 'big' financial decisions.
there is a property in england for the full amount of 100,000, but with a rental income of around 250-300 sterling pcm, would that be a wise move, ie tax etc, or would i be better investing in a pension, or college fund??
