My aunt was the most successful of all my relatives and the most assertive, and last year she took out all her savings to buy gold, and now I finally understand how right my aunt's decision was.
I heard my grandfather say that my aunt lived a very hard life when she was a child, not to mention meat, and even eggs can only be eaten on her birthday every year, at that time the family was really poor, my aunt just finished the second grade of primary school, and my grandfather asked her to go home from school to help, thanks to my aunt who got out of school, my father successfully finished junior high school.
When my aunt was 21 years old, her grandfather found her a family and got married.
A few years later, they had a child, and my aunt told my uncle that she felt that it was very profitable to work as a courier at that time, and she wanted her uncle to stop working and open a store with her to do courier. My uncle was unwilling, afraid of losing money, so he continued to go out to work, but my aunt didn't say a word, took out her savings, joined a courier, and became the boss.
At that time, my cousin was still young, and my aunt hired two workers, and at that time, I could earn a few dollars by sending a courier, and my aunt worked for half a year, and all the money she invested came back. At the end of the year, my uncle came home from outside and saw that my aunt had earned money, so I didn't go out anymore, and I wanted to work with my aunt. My aunt said that it was okay to do it together, but she invested money to open the express store, and after making money, she wanted to take sixty percent, and my uncle nodded and agreed.
When I was 19 years old, the express store didn't make much money, and my aunt decisively transferred it, cashed out, and since then, she has lived a retirement life in advance, but my aunt has a habit of watching the news every day, especially financial news.
Just last year, my aunt made a decision to take out all her savings of 700,000 yuan to buy gold, at that time, everyone thought that my aunt was too impulsive, but my aunt insisted that the price of gold would rise soon, and everyone couldn't persuade my aunt to watch her continue to exchange 700,000 yuan for gold at a price of 274 yuan.
Sure enough, this year, the price of gold has risen rapidly, and everyone keeps praising my aunt, saying that she has vision, but there is always a sour taste in her words.
The other day, I went to see my aunt, who told me that she was going to sell the gold she had and buy a house for her cousin. I asked my aunt, now the price of gold is still rising, why not continue to stay in my hands, my aunt told me that this year, the reason why everyone is crazy to buy gold is because of the lack of investment channels, coupled with the lack of security in the heart, but now, with the price of gold all the way up, many people have calmed down. Finally, my aunt told me in summary that the price of gold will begin to decline by the end of the May Day holiday at the latest, and the decline will be long-term, and it is expected that in the end, the price of gold per gram will stay between 300 yuan and 350 yuan.
I really think what my aunt said is very reasonable, and then I calculated an account, my aunt bought gold at the price of 274 yuan per gram, and now the price of gold has risen to more than 720 yuan per gram, even if my aunt sells it at a price of 550 yuan per gram, my aunt can get more than 1.4 million, in addition to the 700,000 principal, there are more than 700,000 left, according to the current house price of about 5,000 in our county, this more than 700,000 is enough to buy a three-bedroom and two-hall house for my cousin.
According to my aunt's personality of doing what she says, maybe this summer, my cousin will be able to have an extra house in his name.
