this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

Yesterday TTO told me that the price of gold is at an all time high of a little over $900 an ounce.

We both cringe at such a number because six years ago he told me that the price of gold was quite low at $170 an ounce and we briefly discussed getting in on the action. And by briefly, I mean he brought it up at dinner we said maybe and never did anything. Why did we do nothing? I can't speak for him, but my thought (as a newlywed in my very early 20s) was that I'm too young to do something like that, investing is for older people, not me!

Famous last words.

Have you ever passed up on an opportunity only to kick yourself for it later?
