  1. Is there anywhere you can invest that will give a minimum of 8-10% growth after tax, for several years? I was looking for a high interest savings account where I put in £10-20,000 every year and agree either to not withdraw at all for many years (10-20years) or only withdraw tiny amounts with notice in exchange for high interest, but I haven't seen anything. My dream was, deposit most of my salary every year, and with cumulative high interest have £1million+ to retire with, living off 5-8% interest= £50-100k. Should I be looking at the stock market instead and if so where would you yourself look? I thought about property- 8% growth and 8%rental yield, but if there was an 8-10% bank account or stock option it would be much easier. It frustrates me how low interest rates are in savings and how much banks charge to loan, and the fact pensions are wiped out by inflation. I am not really looking for advice, more information- do you think with the investment I'm looking at every year and the return I'm after one area is better or easier than any other between property, stocks and bank accounts?

    1. Schnarf,
      I apologize for not responding earlier. Unfortunately, all of your comments were swallowed by one of my spam filters.

      Sorry, but I am not aware of any current investment that will give you a 8-10% after-tax return. We are currently in a very challenging environment. I expect, but cannot guarantee, that there will be better opportunities sometime in the future.

      If you do find such an opportunity, please let me know!!
