One of the biggest misconceptions people have about what I do is that they think I’m a gold investor.
But to be honest, I’m not.
I didn’t buy gold because I wanted to trade or speculate.
I bought gold because I understand one simple truth:
Inflation will always happen.
Not because of bad luck or bad leadership, but because of the nature of the fiat system we live in.
So I chose to put a portion of my money into physical gold.
Not to make quick gains.
But to freeze that portion of my cash.
To take it out of reach from my own temptation to spend it, and from the slow, quiet erosion caused by currency devaluation.
It’s my way of saying:
This part of my money is off-limits.
Not for today. Not even for next year.
It’s stored safely, untouched by policy shifts or printing presses.
Every time I go grocery shopping, especially at the supermarket, I find myself asking:
Did prices really go up… or did the value of my money go down?
30 years ago, as a little girl – I used to tag along with my mother to the wet market.
She would bring $10 – $20 and it was enough to buy chicken, eggs, tofu, and vegetables – enough to feed our family of five for several days.
Today, I carry a $50 note to the supermarket and I’m lucky if it stretches beyond 3 or 4 meals.
That’s not just price increase.
That’s purchasing power quietly slipping through our fingers.
If you’ve ever felt this too, you’re not alone.
And you don’t have to wait until prices get worse to protect what you’ve earned.
I’m not a gold investor.
I’m just someone who wanted to protect the value of my money before it quietly disappeared.
If that makes sense to you, maybe it’s time to start your own journey.
You can register for a Public Gold account.
It’s free, and it gives you the option to start small, even with just RM100.
Sometimes the wisest decision is not about growing fast.
It’s about not losing quietly.
