Its better to invest money than just save it.... but smart investing.
Gold is always good option.
Gold is not always a good option though. Basically if you are looking to invest your money into a form of "goods" than real estate is a better option than gold. Obviously it is because real estate business have always been increasing since the past time and had neber shown a sign of decreasing ( more human , lower hectar of land, higher real estate prices ). Plus that "land" is much more easier to keep than gold though
Because its better to handle land than a gold and gold can be stolen and land is not.
