The price of gold is way up and fluctuates daily. Today was a bit lower than a couple of days ago, but it’s something I follow.
I had a little pouch with a few pieces of old gold jewelry that I haven’t worn in years and some broken which I didn’t even want to have repaired.
Today I called 2 shops that accept jewelry, found out the price per gram, and asked hubs (who bought me all the jewelry I have) if he would mind me getting rid of it. He didn’t care.
I made an appointment with one of the shops that offered the higher price per gram. They tested to make sure it was real, weighed it, and gave me a higher price per gram, because the price of gold went up since this morning.
The owner lives not far from us and wants to go out to dinner with us and his wife, but I will tell you now, we will split the bill. Why? Because I received a check for $10,000 US. It’s already deposited in our bank.
This is the most money I’ve ever earned since I retired!!!
We were given

My mom had a huge collection of gold jewelries. Her aunt had the same. I remember each time we visited that particular aunt of hers, they would talk about jewelries and she would show my mom the ones she had at home, as most are in the bank. She had this huge jewelry boxes that contain too many gold jewelries.
She advised my mom to keep hers in the bank too but my mom said, each time she'd come home opening her collection of gold and diamond jewelries relaxes her.
What happened to those jewelries? Well, they were all taken away by the robbers who eventually killed her and my dad.

That;s cool, I sold some gold once. I got a much better price an hour North of here than they were offering at the jewelry store they used to have here. It pays to shop around.

They all get a cut of course. Last year, we were shopping for me at a jewelry store here, and the owner told me the price of gold was way up, hence the cost of something I was considering. We bought it, but afterwards, I sold him a ring and earrings that I was wearing at the time.
