Welcome to Making Cents, the podcast for people who want financial freedom without giving up their coffee.
I’m Frances Cook, an independent financial journalist and fellow financial freedom seeker who makes money simple for you.
Has the world gone mad, and is that why gold prices are hitting record highs?
With inflation, war, and market instability making headlines, more people are asking the same question: Should I be investing in gold?
It’s the classic “safe haven” asset. But is it actually safe? And is now the right time, or are you already too late?
In this solo episode, I’m cutting through the hype to help you decide whether gold deserves a spot in your investment strategy, or if it’s just fear in a shiny wrapper.
We talk about:
– Why gold spikes during global chaos
– When it works… and when it really doesn’t
– The biggest gold investing mistakes to avoid
– How to actually buy gold (without getting scammed)
– Whether gold is right for your money goals
If you’ve ever wondered whether gold is a smart move or just investing FOMO, this episode’s for you.
Making Cents is supported by our friends at Kiwibank.
