Gold, as you know, is a hedge against inflation, which in the UK stands at 3.5%; 1.5% above target. It is the oldest currency in the world, and now that I understand what money is and how it works, I appreciate why it is.  Gold preserves your money, your assets! And will always do so. Full stop!

‘No paper currency’ Tim Price writes in this week’s Money Week ‘has ever persisted. The fate of all paper currencies is to deteriorate over time towards their inherent value, which is nothing.’ This statement is backed up in the following video ‘The Demise of the British Pound through Monetary Inflation’,

Some people keep up to date on celebrity news, sports news, entertainment news and general news; I in contrary keep an eye on the economic news. Why, because in order to become financially savvy one must understand what plain one is working on. As the saying goes forewarned is forearmed.

In the last several weeks the headlines that have popped out at me are as follows –

• Hard times ahead for 3 more years (Daily Mail – 27.01.2011)
• Economic outlook is bleak indeed. We can put through but only if our leaders have courage enough to tell us the truth (Daily Mail – 27.01.2011)
• A fifth of university leavers are out of work (Daily Mail – 27.012011) – see my post on students and jobs here.
• Debt crisis could tear up Europe, says Soros (Daily Mail – 27.01.2011)
• Property – the Achilles heel of the financial system  (Financial Times – 27.01.2011)
• Young fret over money woes (The New York Times – 31.01.2011)
• Sudden uprising in Egypt unsettles global markets (The New York Times – 31.01.2011)
• Age of the part-timer: 200,000 jobs were created last year. Only 3 per cent were full-time (The Daily Mail – 01.02.2011)

Due to the current global economic crisis the subject of pensions and savings on a whole, have been in and out of the media on a consistent basis, and with the talks of inflation and whether the Bank of England is going to increase interest rates again and the consequences of that, the consensus is that the idea and structure of a pension and with it the signification of retirement is no longer viable in the 21^st Century.

Since my last post on gold ‘Gold(en) Nuggets To Beat Economic Instability’ back in July, gold has continued to go up setting a new high of $1,414.60 an ounce last month; as well featuring more prolifically in the mainstream news. That does not mean however that the Gold Bull Run has exhausted itself. No, not all!  Gold (and silver) will continue to rise as long as the global governments continue to manipulate the money markets and inject more money into the economy by printing it aka quantitative easing. Most gold experts believe it could go up to $5000 an ounce, thus $1100 will seem like chump change in the not too distant future.

As such I thought I would write a complimentary article about the different ways to invest in gold as there are numerous. Below are the most common: -

Let me ask you, when you think about becoming debt free and financially independent what do think about and what do you tell yourself? Do you tell yourself that it will never happen for you, or that it is too hard to do; or that it doesn’t happen to people like YOU? Or do you tell yourself that you deserve to be rich because you will add value to other people’s lives; or that someone like you can be rich; or that you can be rich doing what you love? What is your attitude to wealth?  And what negative or positive connotations do you associate with it?

T. Harv Eker, author of the New York bestselling ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth’ says –

“There is a secret psychology to money. Most people don’t know about it, that’s why most people never become financially successful. A lack of money is not the problem, it is merely a symptom of what’s going on inside you…”

Do you have an entrepreneurial state of mind or an employee state of mind?

This is a very important question because depending on your answer it will define how you will survive the next coming years of global economic turmoil. And it is coming!  If you don’t see it, it is simply because you do not wish to see it.

We are presently in a time of change, on a global scale where there will be a transfer of power and wealth; just as there has been, numerous times, in World history. Think about it, wasn’t Rome and Greece once powerful and rich empires? As was Spain, China, Africa, and Turkey (The Ottoman Empire)? Change, even if we do not want it, desire it or like it, comes to ALL of us! It is a part of life! See the video below for a perfect example of this, and yes it is based on the USA but we all know that when America sneezes the rest of the World catches their cold!
