what is the best platform to buy gold?

I just read this, few minutes ago.
The actions of these Japanese men kind of very similar to one of the forumer in here.....He has lived an extremely frugal life for years.....saved US$440,000, and another man saved US$910,000

"A 67-year-old Japanese man ( Suzuki ) who has focused on saving money for decades, including not using an air-conditioner and shunning restaurant meals, cooked for himself and took a lunchbox to the office every day, usually containing bean sprouts and chicken.

Suzuki has lived an extremely frugal life for years.
( Someone here said he lived as B40 while earned as top M20/T20).

Suzuki was born into a poor family and started to earn money in secondary school when he worked part-time in restaurants.

The family’s leisure activity was mainly picnicking in nearby parks. If they needed to go to another place, Suzuki would choose the cheapest route, he admitted.

This money saved is a guarantee for emergency situations and my later life,” Suzuki was quoted as saying.

Suzuki is not the only person in Japan whose life revolves around the theme of austerity.

Last year, another man, 45, attracted attention for living frugally for more than 20 years before finally managing to save 135 million yen (US$910,000).

His meals consisted of a sour plum, some salted vegetables and a bowl of rice.
Sometimes dinner was just an energy drink he got using free points from convenience stores.

Moral of his story continue......
"However, not long after his retirement, his wife was diagnosed with a serious disease and died, aged 66.

“I wish my wife and I could have relished travelling more and eating in restaurants,” said Suzuki.

“But time cannot be turned back. What is the meaning of life with only money left?” he said.

That is why I say health is wealth. Don't simply feed your body poison. Do intermittent fasting to clear up the toxins in the body. The body can clean and repair if given the chance. If eat and eat every few hours you deprived the body of its own ability to clean and repair itself.

Such article are asking people to relax and spend more. You cannot have more people like me or else economy going to be in trouble.

Suzuki did not die young, he wife did.
Now still alive, he REGRETTED IT

That's why I make my future wife live my life. Intermittent fasting, less junk food for her, 24H fast on and off. Good healthy food. So savings on good healthy food like high quality extra virgin olive oil, 100% raw cacao, japanese green tea.

It helps you to prevent cancer with regular consumption of Japanese green tea, red tomatoes, high quality extra virgin olive oil, 100% cacao, daily consumption of wild blueberries, broccoli sprout extract, daily turmeric consumption (golden milk).

The food I mentioned above some of them have been shown to kill cancer stem cells, something no medicine can do.

If you are wondering, yes I do take them daily.

No matter how well you or your spouse think you can prevent CI or delay natural death
BUT, the truth is you will still die or your spouse will still die eventually.

Just hope both of you did not regrets it like Suzuki san did

You can take steps to reduce your chances. I choose to take steps rather then leave it as it is.
