<prompt> Human: So Ive always been absolutely useless when it comes to saving money. Its like as soon as I have cash it needs to be spent. But a mate just suggested that I should buy gold. I thought it was a brilliant idea as I could spend my money, not have it just sitting there, and have something to show for it. So Im wondering if I just buy a heap of gold each time I get paid whether itll retain value or Ill lose too much money when its time to cash out or whatever. Basically I just wanna know your thoughts on this idea and what the best way to go about it is. Cheers  <response>: It would be wise to learn how to control your spending habits rather than trying to avoid confronting the problem.
