In this episode of the Mind Money Soul podcast, I’m diving into the fascinating world of investing in precious metals - what it is, why it matters, and how to get started.
I often talk about investing as a powerful way to build wealth. Usually, I focus on topics like the stock market, property, and business. But today, I’m excited to explore the unique power of investing in precious metals. I'll admit, like anything that is new or unknown, this topic felt slightly intimidating, simply because I didn't fully understand it. Since undertaking research and learning the "what", why” and “how” behind it, I’ve come to realise just how empowering and impactful it can be. We invest as a way to protect our wealth, especially from inflation. Inflation erodes the buying power of your money. When you leave your money sitting in cash, it loses purchasing power year after year. By swapping cash for assets like precious metals that grow in value over time, you’re not only preserving your wealth but you're also beating inflation.
One of the biggest barriers to investing for women is a combination of risk aversion and lack of knowledge. Research shows that women are 45% more likely than men to hesitate when it comes to starting or expanding their investment portfolios due to a lack of knowledge. My hope is that this episode, along with resources shared by The Royal Mint, will help bridge that gap and inspire you to diversify both your knowledge and your portfolio.
