They Say It's Your Birthday, It's My Birthday Too!

The odds are it's not your birthday, and it's definitely not mine. But the old Beatles title fits today's post pretty well, in subject anyway! As always I love to browse offering available for gold and silver as I have done since I was a youngster. I've been saving precious metals since childhood and they have served me well as a great cash reserve.

Today I came across this great idea for a birthday present. It's 1/1000 a Troy ounce of pure gold with Happy Birthday on it, and the best part is it's not too expensive. It's a great way to give gold to a loved one. Have a look:

These are a new offering available for $34.99 each, a little expensive for the amount of gold. But you can easily give it out without breaking the bank! And it looks nice too, how can you beat that? Yes, it's not a video game or a cosmetic item, but will always have value!

Now if you want more affordable, here's an older model:

From APMEX.com

This one is only $29.99, saving $5 is the way I would go. But then again I may be cheap... Again a great way to give gold! Plus there is a bonus, if you buy even one at APMEX.com in the US you get a free 1/4 Idaho Goldback for free while supplies last. It's a great time to buy at APMEX!

Saving precious metals is so important for everyone, not just the rich. The earthquakes in Venezuela is a good reminder that having a reserve available to use as barter is invaluable. Life is unpredictable, even in the most modern cities. You never know when disaster may strike and having something you know will always have value available is paramount to survival.

The point being, give the gift of gold and silver! At some point your recipient may depend on them for their very existence. Life is precious! If you have funds you can spare please donate to organizations that are helping in Venezuela, but be careful to give to well known charities. There are far too many scammers out there as we all know all too well.

My good friend @bulliontools helped out a good friend directly in Venezuela sending HBD. If you know and trust someone here on Hive it's a great way to help.

I've lived through many natural disasters in my life. I've been through category 4 hurricanes and even been in the eye of the storm! Something so surreal you have to experience to understand... I've survived tornadoes, I have yet to see an active volcano (but I still want too,) but earthquakes are one of the worst. Living in California I can attest to that. If you can afford to help I urge you to do so!

That will do it for me today. Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below, and as always thank you so much for your support. It's greatly appreciate. Have a great day everyone!
