I quite agree with you, in fact my last two house purchases were for cash, no mortgage or any type of financing. If I buy something the cash is gone, if I get something back when its sold its a bonus and helps pay for the next item I'm buying.

I've only posted about gold being a safe haven investment in response to someone else's posting asking about gold. I've learnt the hard way that 'cash is king' especially in times of recession and forgone many opportunities to increase my investment income over the years to my detriment, because of being so risk averse. Not complaining just saying.

I blame my Grandfather a self made man who started penniless and built up a massive portfolio of rental properties, who always maintained that if you haven't got the brass in your pocket you can't afford it..........and he led a very full life.
