Bank accounts do not pay much in the way of interest, and the rate of inflation is pretty high and so the longer we hold the lump sum as cash the less it will be worth! And, so, we are considering gold and we are considering real estate. I suggested the gold and DH suggested the real estate!
I would like to see a chart that shows how the price of gold has been rising: does anybody know of such a chart? I know that there must be one out there somewhere, but I do not know where. Our budget has always been too tight to think about such things.
Any and all advice would be welcome!
