Sometimes it feels like all we talk about at Planet Money is how the economy is going down the tubes.

On today's show, though, we visit a few people who have been doing well this year. There's a guy with a gold vault. A company that sells off inventories for bankrupt stores. And the king of coconut water.

Happy new year.
