All that glitters – investing in Gold

All that glitters - investing in Gold

Gold holds an unusual and fascinating allure in the investment world. Admittedly, even to me, the thought of gold ingots stored in a safe house just sounds kind of cool. It’s times like these that I start fielding questions such as, “should I have some gold in my portfolio?”  At the time of writing, an ounce of gold is priced at $1,499.23.  That’s an increase of $313 … [Read more...] about All that glitters – investing in Gold

Tithing on your inheritance

June 3, 2019 by Arnold Machel, CFP® Leave a Comment

Money

It’s so easy as Christians to always feel like we’re never doing enough. Put simply - it’s okay to spend money on ourselves. It’s okay to buy art or enjoy a restaurant meal or to grow flowers rather than vegetables. We don’t have to give it all away, or feel guilty about spending some of it on ourselves. I love John Wesley. His insights and wisdom continue to be valued even … [Read more...] about It’s okay to spend money on ourselves
