<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dtort, post: 24902179, member: 113973&quot;]Like others have said, have a 6 month emergency fund and no CC debt, then pay off the mortgage. Precious metals are iffy as investments. Sometimes they really shoot up, but long term they haven&#039;t been very good. Index funds do better.</p><p>One compromise that I personally do is this: I like silver. I have found that you can often&nbsp; buy beautiful silver commemoratives at close to bullion value. So I have some lovely coins, but also have &quot;scratched the itch&quot; of wanting a small stash of precious metals. Also, you can buy lots of &quot;junk silver&quot; coins at bullion prices and find as a bonus a few desirable collectable&nbsp; coins in the mix.&nbsp; Win-win![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
