Hi, I have a similar story. I bought a couple of small gold bars last year, just to try it out. One of them was a 5g, pure gold, got it here: Buy 5g PAMP Gold Bar UK. Looked nice, plus a reliable item - both as a gift and as an investment. Looking at the prices now - it's already gone up a bit. I don't think it's a way to make a quick buck, but as a way to save money - a really working scheme.

If you like the suit, alterations are definitely better. It's not always that expensive and you get a perfectly fitting suit. I recently had alterations done at Dress Alterations and the result surprised me! It costs twice as much to buy a new suit as it does to fit an old one.

This is a common problem when you first start working with Agile. I also faced it when I was a Scrum Master in my team. The important thing is to be able to guide the conversation and not let it stray off topic. Setting the right expectations and creating a clear plan for each meeting really helps with this. I found an article that does a great job of explaining how to organize effective Scrum meetings, especially in terms of the scrum master role. It helped us to make the meetings more structured and productive.
