Putting all eggs in a single basket is never a good deal. Especially when gold is ATH.

But they are always ATH all the time whenever I check, while getting married 10gms were between 10-20K(difficult to guess when I got married). Now its 7K i think

If you can foresee any future commitments in next 2 years then save for it and invest, if you really believe that you can’t gauge your commitments then its not for you.

It would have been better if you invested in last or last to last SGB. Currently Gold is peaking so don’t go all in, specially when Gold nears 80K INR. If you want to be Gold heavy, go split with Gold 30-35 percent, Debt, Contra or Flexi MF 10-15 % percent, Equity 40 percent and yes good old FD 10 percent. Some banks offering close to 9 percent rates now.
