She refused to let me and said it was a waste of money, so I just bought a ton of expensive clothes. Gold was almost $1,000/oz when I graduated in 09....and now it's $1500. She's still on my hit list for that..

When my Father died back in '95, I was helping my Mom go through things. Stuck in a cardboard box under his desk were 8-10 SLEEVES of solid gold coins he had purchased as a hedge/investment. I never totaled how much was there, but it was probably in the 10-15 pound range or more. I asked her last year what she ever did with the coins and she told me that she kept a little, but sold-off most and put the money into their investment account. For a brief second, I felt like doing this!
