Find a gold mine
I have a large payment due next month, and about 7 months ago, I decided to take the money I had saved for it and buy gold and silver rather than stick it in a boring bank savings account earning less than 2% APR.
It was a gamble, with me betting the gold and silver would earn at least 2% after selling it back to the dealer.
At the present time, it looks like I will have won the bet, but not by much.
Hey, it’s been an exciting ride, as long as it doesn’t go much lower (and it appears to be going up). I think I’ll sell soon. Or, ride a little longer by charging that payment to my MasterCard and paying that off in another 30 days or so with the proceeds from selling the gold and silver in late May or early June.
Nah, I’ll probably sell soon. (I tease myself like this a lot. It’s exciting . . . and it’s only money.)
