The European cantaloupe, C. melo var. cantalupensis, is lightly ribbed with a sweet and flavorful flesh and a gray-green skin that looks quite different from that of the North American cantaloupe.

So I took my thousand dollars, multiplied it a couple of times and started Goodness Me! It's gluten Free.

I'll let you know how it goes.

How did you invest the thousand to multiply it a couple of times?

I no longer needed to finance my ex's sorry arse, so had money to save from my CV business. He was financially abusive and cost me a fortune.

So you didn't actually multiply your thousand, just saved more, let's hope your thousand and savings multiply in your new business. If you had invested $1000 in ETFs before and needed your money now you would probably have lost.

Not even close. If Rozz had invested in the S&P500 two days after posting she'd have made a large profit' let's say 30%, even after this year's 'crash':

Time in the market beats timing the market.
Regularly allocate $ into low-fee index funds regardless of market conditions, and come back in 5 years and you'll be up

P2P in Europe is good. I recommend Robocash or Lender market are my preferred platforms. 14-15% annual interest rate, money stays reasonably liquid, safe ...
