I do think it is prudent to have at least 5-10% of your savings in precious metals though.

Last time it was a sheep investment not the livestock but a gold-ish sheep statue covered in a few fragments mother of pearl and semi precious stones ... for 6k.

I'm not a precious metals fan, but even if I were the long term chart would give me pause.

I believe you can even get precious metals though your 401(k).

Too many people in this business look up after 20 years and realize they over paid after managing debt for a bank and ikts too late because you wasted precious time that could have been spent on a beach instead.

You see 3+ billion Asians like land and precious metals and they are beginning to buy.

You could still park it in precious metal investments with the IRA until you decide what you can do with it.

Precious!

I wouldn't suggest staging the bedrooms as it can make them appear smaller, as previously stated.I just flipped a home built in 1954 and staged it with mid-century modern styling and everyone who saw the "jewelry" loved what I did with the place.

...when you tell your husband you would rather have him buy you a rental rather than jewelry for your next anniversary ...
