The last three years have been a time of great changes in my life. I graduated from university with very good results and started working for a local newspaper in my hometown. Soon my articles became very popular and I became recognisable so I also started earning more money. Unfortunately, the newspaper lost its popularity soon afterwards. It was due to some political issues that I don"t want to explain now. Anyway, I lost my job and was temporarily unemployed. I needed some money to survive the difficult time so I finally decided to cash my gold. I had inherited some gold bullion coins from my grandfather soon after he died ten years before. I had been keeping the coins at home, not thinking of selling them at all but then I did not need extra cash, of course. I finally arranged a visit to a specialist who established the price for the coins. Three weeks later, I was able to cash my gold thanks to a friend of mine who recommended a coin collector who wanted to buy my coins. I did not hesitate for a minute. Two weeks later, it turned out that my financial situation was not that bad, anyway. I got a job at a university publishing house in a city situated twenty kilometres away from my hometown. I decided to spend the extra money on a holiday in India.
