Midas Touch
King Midas could turn everything he touched to gold.
That sounds like the spam adverts where investment people promise to turn your hard-earned savings into money mountains.
But Midas was for real, or a real Greek myth at least.
Sadly not all that glitters, etc. As everything he touched turned to gold poor King Midas ruined his life.
You win some - you lose some.
I sometimes wonder if the true meaning of these stories is for people to just accept being poor.

Sovereign
It is almost a rebellious gesture to put your hard-earned money into something you can actually hold instead of allowing others to make money from your savings. After the banking crash of 2008 there are few institutions that retain much trust.
Gold. For when you want to invest in something real. This is not financial advice, blah, blah, etc.

There is more gold on this site, just not the metal kind.
