In this video I’m looking at a simple question that a lot of people don’t ask until it’s too late: is gold really better than holding cash savings? Most people sit in cash because it feels “safe”, but the reality is inflation quietly eats away at your buying power year after year. I break down why, in real terms, holding loads of cash can actually make you poorer over time, and why I prefer having a portion of my savings in physical gold (and silver) as part of a sensible stack. I’m not here to pretend gold is some magic button, because it isn’t. Gold can move up and down and it’s not as instantly spendable as money in the bank, but it has a long track record of holding value when currencies get debased. I also touch on the practical side of stacking in the UK—buying from reputable dealers, checking what you’re buying, and thinking long-term rather than chasing quick gains. As always, this isn’t financial advice, it’s just what I’ve learned building my stack over time.
