Selling Gold to Pay Rent
August 23rd, 2008
Sometimes people have gold but don’t know its value. Gold is a great investment and the value of gold keeps going up. That means if you keep your gold now it is like to have higher value later. But, sometimes it is not practical to keep the gold when you need some money now.
A reader shares with us that he does not want a bar of gold no matter how real or no matter how great an investment it can be. All he needs is rent money. When you actually have immediate needs such as need to pay rent now, it is hard to imagine what you can do with an investment. That’s why when people need money or a job, it is not practical or appreciable to try to get them to invest or start their own business. Starting a business is an investment that does not give immediate money.
Below is one of our reader talking about how he prefers rent money than keeping gold as an investment.
“If I had a bar of gold today, I would probably take it to the local gold buyer and see if thy would buy it and for how much. I need the rent money, so every little bit helps and it seems like a bar of gold would just about pay my rent for a few months. That’s pretty much what I would do if I had a bar of gold today.”
