Poll of the Day > What if I bought a gram of gold every payday?

(+) Yeah! (+)

That would only be like, 40-45 dollars.

And since I am paid bi-weekly that would add up to around an oz each year, which right now is 1,300 dollars worth.

If I packed my lunch and didnt buy as many checkout garbage at work this plan could about pay for itself.

this is a life change i should make.

Then you would have a portion of your wealth invested into gold.

Hell yeah.

Buy titanium instead; I heard that it is valuable and also I think it is necessary as a catalyst in some important chemical reactions.

It would take forever to fill a money-bank and then what are you going to swim in? (Overlooking that diving into a pool of money would likely result in serious injury.)
---

Your insurance premiums would probably go up, depending on where you're planning to store this gold.

probably at my house for now then in the future a bank safe deposit box likely.

Id rather periodically buy a small precious gemstone

Theyre not as valuable but you can keep them in a little chest and act like it is long lost treasure

Man no im talking bout

However right now the price is higher than i quoted in the OP. But it would still be feasible. But I havent done anything yet cause IDK. Lowest price there is 49.97 if I paid with a check. Prices will of course rise and fall every day.

I know what they look like. They brother bought some silver ones... which he wound up never using for anything and finally just misplaced. *Great* investment on his part >_>

You could always buy these in 10s every 4 months.

You won't ever make any serious profit investing in precious metals unless you can buy it by the hundred thousand. Invest in digital currency instead. Other than Bitcoin, I highly recommend investing in Ethereum and Ripple for maximum gains.

Well silver isnt too expensive so i can purchase fairly normal amounts.

with gold that isnt feasible so id have to stack the smallest bits.

my silver stack is up to around 22 ounces. woo

Stagnant also means stable, which is pretty nice if your currency is volatile.

You should buy a gram of cocaine every payday instead

Itll never decrease in value
