Hey @metzli,
Great post about investing in @spinvest, pleased it is helping you grow your nest egg and keeping you motivated (I laughed at the bit about shouting at the computer). Like you, I've become interested in gold 😍.
Hope the j.o.b. goes okay, you sound like you are doing fabulously!
The job is a band-aid while I get control of this mortgage and bills. It is fine enough. The person I work for is a serial business owner who loves starting businesses, and although he doesn't hold on to all of them and often misses very important steps (like, hello, 1099's and permits and such) I get to learn a lot about having a business actually make money.
It's not so bad either, especially knowing my bills are paid.
I am already looking forward to quitting. lol. and starting on something else.
Gold is awesome. One of the businesses my boss has is owning a jewelry shop, I get to see gold and coins get bought and sold all day long and I learn a lot about them.
Shame how much value jewerly losses after leaving the store, I sure learned to never buy jewelry at a department store - so overpriced! Well, its well priced, if you value who the designer is and what kind of box it gets delivered in.
Is second-hand jewellery a better bet, price-wise?
Good attitude to your job 😎
Yes! Used or second hand jewelry already lost its "store brought" value, so its usually a better bet.
