asking a professional is an area where you invariably get given bad advice that costs you in the long run.

Last time I asked a professional it cost me a lot of money cos he invested it in a scam project. Caveat emptor and all that, but it left me with a sour taste.

Yes. The problem with asking a professional in personal finance is that turkeys won’t vote for Christmas, and they won’t tell you that there’s no good evidence that professional financial advisors add value for the majority of people.

Not a designer. Or a GP. Or a medical type of any description whatsoever. I do like Scandi stuff and own an EV.

I've recently come into the possession of a big chunk of money and I don't know what to do with it. It's sufficiently big that even after exhausting my appetite for coke and hookers there will still be a sizeable amount left. The easiest thing would be to add it to other investments in a variety of Vanguard Lifestrategy funds, but at the same time I'm thinking of keeping some in eg money market funds for safety, given this is an amount I really can't afford to lose. What should I be thinking of?
