Hi folks,
I'm a Masters student currently finishing up studies in South Africa, where I live with my fiancé and hope to remain once I've completed my studies.
Obviously the financial situation over there is not great, so good management of my UK assets is going to be key to our financial security going forth. I was recently gifted £10k by my Gran, which brings my total savings to about £11.8k.
Honestly I have no idea what to do with it. We don't foresee us needing the money at any stage in the next 5 or so years, so we'd like to either put it in high-interest savings or invest in stocks, but I'm unsure as to my tax status and how it will affect my ability to open and maintain savings accounts, especially if I'm going to be remaining in South Africa indefinitely.
So I'm not sure what to do. Help?
