thats how much money i'm set to recieve as the initial portion of my inheritance from my grandfather...however, its actually a check of 7,000 british pounds (he was english) if calculated at current exchange rates. so my question is this, should i consider waiting on cashing my check in the hopes that exchange rates might prove more favorable for the british pound? does anyone know whether this is likely to happen?

there are always chances... but whats the point. so you might end up with an extra hundred bucks or something.

(and i encourage you donate some of that to NS, and some of it to my education.. i.e skiing)

Just don't mess around with that stuff. If it's worth it to you to go up anohter hundred bucks, then do it, but it could go down too. I'd jsut put that stuff in my bank account.

take the money now and put it in a certificate of deposit (CD) at any bank for anywhere from 6 months to a few years and it is guaranteed to earn a few percentage points. This is guaranteed- the exchange rates are not.

run the numbers a few times and pick a good CD. I have made a couple hundred bucks just letting it sit in a bank like that before

Where are you from? The American dollar is gaining strength, in which case you might want to cash out as soon as possible. The Canadian dollar is still strong but might give back a little since it is a little overinflated, in which case you might want to hang on to it until you need the money.

I learned a good saying..... A CD is the safest way to loose money. This meaning, the rate of inflation is more often Higher then the interest rate being paid on CD's

CDs=the slowest way to make money. I've had 6k in a CD for 2 years and i made like 50 dollars. The current interest rates are way low but they are going up. I would invest in a strong company instead. or just give some and i'll but some lotto tickets. shit.

Damn Ian, that's quite a bit of money. You sure you want to put all of that money towards film school? Are you feeling generous? Tell you what, how about I drive to the airport from Bellingham, treat you to a meal at Dick's drive in (nobody comment on the name until you've tried their food) for some burgers on the way down, and you can pay for me to join you on your trip to Peru. So do we have a deal?

if your american it might pay to wait as the dollar is getting stronger- but in the end i doubt you'll gain more than a few hundred bucks. If ur from canada,australia ect cash and bank it while you can.

$90 a year on a 2500$ investment? You can make almost that much on an ing direct savings account, and the money is completely liquid. Of course, if youre in canada, who knows if you can or not.

If you wait too long your check will no longer be valid...you have to cash it within a certain period of time i believe...so don't fuck around with it.
