Just realize that you won’t ever see or touch the gold. It is stored in a vault somewhere, not sent to you. Also, right now gold prices are wayyy up, because everyone else wants something more tangible than stocks or CDs, too.

Buying physical gold is a relatively safe investment, as the leverage is 1:1. It is possible to trade gold futures contracts or spot gold in commodities trading accounts where the leverage is high, and so is the risk and the potential for profit.

yes actually a lot of people do, it’s called diversifying your assets.
some people will also but different stocks or currencies.
It makes your savings (hopefully) gain interest so your money works for you. its a pretty smart idea you should look into it
