    Another thing to keep in mind....

    Will you keep them insured and pay for that ?
    If so, it will carry an extra cost,
    If not then your investment carries an extra risk.
    No possessions are 100% safe.


    I'd certainly say Gold is worth considering as long as
    you do your homework and realise the risks.



    I agree.

    We keep any real valuables within the bank, house deeds etc. Costs us 18 quid a year. Better than leaving in a draw at home.

    I think the difference is ones a farmer , the other is an estate owner. My gaffer is an estate owner who calls himself a farmer, yet he has pheasant shooting, breeds deer,a quarry (which I manage), and an Ad plant which supplies electric to all the houses on the estate then feeds back any excess into the grid, oh he also has a solar panel plant.

    Any spare land is sown with grass /barley to keep the ad plant going or rented out to tenant farmers.
    He claims all the grants he can including for woodland, dry stone walling etc.

    On top of this he also has an estate /farm in scotland.

    The ones who are struggling are his tenant farmers who are constantly being screwed by the system /crippling rents and crap crop yeilds, poor weather.

    I sponsored a pygmy donkey for Sadie at the local wildlife park .for 12 months sponsorship we get 2 free tickets , photo of the said ass and Sadie gets her name on a plaque by the enclosure and of course the money helps with the upkeep of the animal.
    I would rather spend 50 quid doing that than line someone's pocket who have vastly inflated there prices for the day.

    20 quid is a tad low considering what they are earning, l was paying 10 pound a week 25 years ago when I was on a lowly yts pay of 30 quid a week.
    I would be tempted to let them fend for themselves for a week or two, let them do their shopping, ironing,cooking, cleaning .etc ,obviously letting them stop home rent reduced /free during this period .
    it will at least give them a insight into the cost of living and how much of a good thing they are onto at the moment.
