Look at precious metals for wealth protection, not necessarily investment. 

I prefer to believe that most of us could leave far earlier than we think (meaning we are wasting precious time), allow the money/portfolio to continue growing (without us spending time on it) while we're focused on time and health and still not having to worry about money. 

Hard assets...real estate, precious metals, etc tend to preserve value here. 

Could hold precious metals but silver is being manipulated to remain low lol. 

I own no property in USA, and most of my legal/financial moorings are based on my location overseas: residence in Korea; bank is US but address of account is based on an Armed Forces Post Office; tax address is my Dad's home in Kansas; precious metal holdings in Florida; no US-based drivers license (lived and worked in Korea since 2008. 

It's virtually impossible to buy physical precious metals (for delivery) anywhere for any reasonable price. look at pretty much any asset.

And most importantly these high quality people will become precious assets all through out your life.

Time is precious and should not be wasted.

I'm going long on precious metal mining stocks.

However, if one of you goal is to preserve you newly inherited cash, have you thought about investing at least a percentage of that cash into precious metals, like gold, silver etc.
