I have a significant amount (inherited) the only solid investment i know is flats. i need to make 1% on the investment every month to make ends meet. I need advice because i am not gainfully employed though I'm working on a site that seems capable of making good returns. i have no other income. Can someone please tell me how to invest so that i don't do myself in . thanks

@ christy
its not as straight forward as that. Not all forms of investments are for everyone. Some can handle high risk some can't. Some investments take long to pay off some do so in a very short period. How much time are u willing to put into managing your investments?

Buy income generating property, you will keep your investment and also earn from it. I would not advise you to go for liquid investments as you may end up spending the money over time.
Before you can be be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid.

Laughing out loudly If you were to earn 100,000sh per month (1%), it means the inheritance would be around 10M!Kweli you are lucky!Construct some flats somewhere and kula the rent.
Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

@christy,

If I get you right, you are saying you eat all the rent. No savings!!.

If this is correct, this may be due to two reasons.

1. Your expenses are too high and you need to cut down o expenditure.

2. The rent is not that much and this could be due to several reasons including the location of the properties, condition and design.

Post more details and you may be helped from there.

@ christy, work at reducing expenses. Maybe move into one of the flats and save on rent? Shop for a less expe but similar school for the children then also see what else u can cut out. Then look for employment. What u save can be then invested. The 'investor' section of Wazua can assist in that when u get there. All the best!
....above all, to stand.
