The Spendthrift

My sister has quite a collection of coins.  Every time she gets her bonus, she would spend it on gold coins.  Mom is really glad this girl has finally come to her senses.  She used to be a bum when she was still here with us and she spent her allowance like there’s no tomorrow.  Oh I can still remember how my mom used to nag her about saving money. Haha.  When she went to the US, lived alone and learned to work, she became the most “kuripot” (spendthrift) member of the family.  At least now she knows how hard it is to earn for living and investing in gold coins is definitely a wise move.

Gift Of Gold Coins

My son have gold coins that were given by her Ninang (godmother) when he was baptized. It’s not a usual gift to children, gold bracelets or gold pendants are the most common baptismal gifts.  But I appreciate the precious gift of course.  Gold is getting back its lost glory, the value is on the rise, right now it’s the most stable investment anyone can gamble on. Interest in this yellow metal is gaining ground. Surely the gold coins that was given to him will be worth more in the future.  He may not know the true value of it because he’s still young but he’ll appreciate it when he grows older.

Good Investor

My well off friend can’t resist a deal, so whenever a friend, a relative or someone she knows offers her to invest on real estate or stock market, she can’t say no if she thinks it’s a good buy.  She’s also great at bargaining and most of the time gets the best price. Lately, she likes to buy gold coins because she thinks there is a gold rush and it would be wise to start investing in them now.  I’ve always admired her when it comes to handling her finances and investments.  She always seem to know have a hunch where to put her money.

The Precious Metal

World market gurus have joined the rush for gold and many of them have  started buying gold bullion.   They believe that this is a very good investment strategy, physical owning precious metals to serve as hedge in case something happens to their other investments.

If the big names in the market like them are investing in gold then why can’t we?  It’s more stable than real estate and stock market.  Plus, the metal is easier to sell than landed properties.  We have some parcel of land that we wanted to sell but even if those are prime properties, there are no takers.  But when mom decided to sell her gold coins a few months back, she didn’t have a hard time.  So would you rather put your money in hard to sell investments or bank on gold?

Having Some Fun

Mom was worried when she heard from Lyn ( a friend of my sister’s) that my sister has been partying a lot lately.  I had to laugh  (but of course I didn’t show her) when she told me. I had to remind her that my sister is way past her teens. Actually, she’s worried that my sister is spending all her money on unimportant things.  “You shouldn’t worry too much mom,” I told her.  “You taught us well ma, and Louise is smart,” I added.  Last year, she bought a brand new car and a studio unit.  Now, she’s thinking of investing some of her savings, she might buy gold bullion or gold coins.

Louise is not the type of person who works hard then throw it down the drain.  Let her have some fun or she’ll go crazy.

Why Gold?

Are you looking for the perfect investment? Dollar’s value fluctuates but gold remains strong and steady and it is a good hedge against declines in other investments and inflation. It will be wiser to invest now in gold coins, gold bars, ingots and bullions. I’ve read a lot of articles saying that now is the best time to buy them. Its price dramatically increased during the time when the stock market crashed and its value tends to increase over time. And if you still don’t know, gold is the only currency not created and controlled by governments. So if you want your wealth protected, better start investing in gold if you still haven’t.

Gold Investment

My friend who happens to be a banker is a sound investor. She rarely ventures in on short-lived investments. She says, gold seems to be the most stable if you are to invest your money.  With some of her savings last year, she invested in gold. She and her husband feel secure with it and is convincing me to buy gold bars. It sure is a sound investment but I told her that as much as I would want to, I have no money to spare at the moment.  Hopefully, in a couple of months when the money I’m expecting comes in. 

She really doesn’t have to convince me because I know gold appreciates in value.  My mom has some gold coins which have appreciated in value through the years.
