I am Dave from the Cash Geeks’ office. Dave hates investing. Dave thinks it’s boring. Dave likes to speak about himself in the third person. Dave hates crypto and has no idea what on earth is going on with that stocks and shares stuff. Dave likes playing computer games. All day. Anyway, Dave is digressing. Dave especially hates losing money. So what kind of investments are out there for a bloke, or bloke-ess, like Dave? Dave is no good at being politically correct. Dave decided to research some nice alternative investments. Here’s what Dave found out…

1. Wine and Whiskey

Dave likes a good drink. Who doesn’t? But did you know you can invest in wine and whiskey? Dave found out that rare bottles can appreciate in value over time. Imagine telling your mates, “This bottle of whiskey is worth more than your car.” Just don’t drink your profits, Dave.

2. Art

Dave can’t draw to save his life, but he can appreciate a good piece of art. Investing in art can be lucrative if you know what to look for. Dave suggests finding an art advisor because Dave can’t tell the difference between a Picasso and a child’s finger painting.

3. Collectibles

Dave loves his action figures and comic books. Turns out, these can be worth a pretty penny. Rare collectibles, like vintage toys or first-edition comics, can skyrocket in value. Dave’s mum always told him his toys were junk. Who’s laughing now, Mum?

4. Real Estate Crowdfunding

Dave doesn’t have the cash to buy a whole building, but with real estate crowdfunding, he can own a piece of one. It’s like owning a slice of pizza instead of the whole pie. Dave may have just created a mixed metaphor, he isn't sure, but Dave digresses. Dave likes pizza. Dave likes this idea.

5. Peer-to-Peer Lending

Dave found out he can lend money to people and earn interest. It’s like being a mini-bank. Dave likes the sound of that. Just make sure to check the borrower’s credit score, because Dave doesn’t want to lend money to someone who won’t pay it back.

6. Precious Metals

Dave likes shiny things. Gold, silver, platinum – they all hold value. Dave can invest in these metals and feel like a pirate with a treasure chest. Arrr, matey!

7. Cryptocurrency

Dave hates crypto, but he has to mention it. Some people make a lot of money with it. Dave doesn’t understand it, but if you do, go for it. Just don’t ask Dave for advice.

8. Farmland

Dave was surprised to learn that farmland can be a great investment. People always need food, right? Investing in farmland can provide steady returns. Dave likes the idea of owning a piece of the countryside, even if he never visits it.

9. Music Royalties

Dave loves music. Investing in music royalties means you get paid every time a song you own rights to is played. It’s like getting paid to listen to your favourite tunes. Dave thinks this is cool.

10. Domain Names

Dave found out that buying and selling domain names can be profitable. It’s like real estate but on the internet. Dave likes the idea of owning cool website names and selling them for a profit.

So there you have it. Dave found out that investing doesn’t have to be boring. There are plenty of alternative investments out there for a bloke, or bloke-esses, like Dave. Dave is still too mean to use or risk his own money, Now, back to playing computer games. Cheers!
