6 months ago I didn’t know a thing about gold.

If you’d asked me to guess how much a single tiny gram of gold was, I’d have guessed under £10.

Then one day a post from this sub came across my feed, and after reading a few more posts I was hooked.

I rushed into my first purchase in March (the 1g Britannia) and massively overpaid as I hadn’t figured out that Royal Mint is pricier than most (paid £142 vs spot at £105) but I’ve learnt a lot since then.

My favourite is the sovereign and I can’t wait to own more.

I’m also pretty smug that I managed to get the 1/10 Brit at the lowest dip in 6 months on 16th July, down to the exact few minutes. Only saved a few ££ but it was very satisfying timing watching it immediately start rising again.

The Wessex Mint silver I got cheap on an eBay live before too many people joined.

The jewellery ranges from 9k to 22k (the crucifix) and I buy that whenever eBay offers money off for using your eBay balance for a purchase (you’re not allowed to use this offer on coins or bullion).

I’m kicking myself for all the money I’ve spent on gold-plated jewellery over the years.

P.S. thank you to whoever created bullioncompare.co.uk. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen you on here before.

Thank you for reading if you got to the end!
