I'd like to know what to do with ~10 000 euros, right now. Where should I put it so it doesn't lose its value and keep a bit with inflation ? edit for a bit of context: Western Europe, renting, unlikely to be able to buy/invest into a house/flat, looking at gold ingots, not the nerve for crypto.
I gave my Wife money to exercise her ISO's(startup before IPO) for her first 1.75 years of shares when the company valuation hadn't changed. Her company went public and the stock jumped and then crashed, I think the current price per share is lower than her exercise price so she is underwater and the money I gave her is worth less as shares vs. cash I originally gave her.

> If you leave the company, your options will expire if you don’t exercise them. Let me repeat that: if you leave the company, your options will expire if you don’t exercise them. The exact timeline of how quickly they expire depends on option type and company policy, but the termination window is commonly as short as 90 days. So, exercising your options enables you to actually own what you helped build. This is why…

sure, but if you sell out of every investment every time it goes down in value you won't be very successful
