Can you ever be really safe, unless it's gold or land?

Look at what's happening in Southtern Cyprus. Scarey.

Rare, very rare that gold or land goes down over the long term. Maybe she could buy to let, that seems to work well? Depends how much she has got really if it's a lot, good idea to diversify a bit and not put all her eggs in one basket as it were.

My dad never believed in banks, hid all his money around the house. Only had a bank account as he was self employed!

Going to put mine in a shoe box under the bed.

I think the key is not to have it all in one place
