When I was a little girl my grandparents bought some gold coins intended for their grandchildren someday. An armored truck pulled into Baldwin City, KS and neighbors whispered for weeks and laughed at my grandfather for believing that investing in gold would pay off.
Well, the market has proved that with a sunken economy and the US dollar being poor, gold is up and rising! Because an improving economy could eventually drive the price of gold back down, we were given our gold for Christmas.... an early inheritance, if you will.
So, we have been following the price for the last couple weeks and I finally jumped at the chance to cash it in today. I am very lucky to say that due to the genius of my grandparents, who didn't care what any gossipy neighbor thought back in the day, I have been able to make some financial decisions and pay off some debt years before it was suppose to happen naturally... Thanks to Nana and Dave Ramsey.
Lesson learned - The silly, old democrat was right ;)
