Gold has been around for years and years, and most recently more people are considering investing in it. The only thing that makes people hesitate or decide not to is that they don’t know where to begin or how to best store their gold purchases. But, no stress, it’s easier than you think.

WHY INVEST IN GOLD?
Gold is one of those materials that is known for being solid, and something that holds its long term value. It doesn’t go up and down with the market and doesn’t rely on outside influences, unlike shares or property value that consistently fluctuates. When things in the finance world get to be a little bit shaky, gold stays steady.
The other positive is that gold is recognised around the world. Whether you’re at home or abroad, if you ever need to sell you can just about anywhere.
WHERE TO BUY GOLD?
If you’re ready to give it a go and buy gold in Brisbane, you’ll find a number of great dealers who specialise in physical gold. Many companies offer so many options like gold coins, small bars, larger investment bars, basically anything for every budget.
You can choose from new gold or pre-owned items which come in various price ranges. Just make sure that the gold you choose is 99.99% pure (investment-grade).
Do your research into sellers, those who have good pricing and a sturdy authentication process are the ones to look out for.
STORING YOUR GOLD SAFELY
Once you’ve made the decision and purchased your gold, you need to consider how you safely store it. A proper safety deposit box in Melbourne (or wherever you’re based) gives you peace of mind that your investment is safe and secure. A lot of banks offer vault services so it’s always a good idea to check with them before you invest in your own safety deposit box with another company.
Safety is number one when you have made such a big investment.
START SMALL AND LEARN AS YOU GO
It can be a really big decision to invest in gold for the first time so consider your options. There’s no need to go big and all out, start with a small amount, maybe a few coins or a small bar. Once you learn and understand how pricing works and how best to store it, maybe then decide to create your own portfolio.
Overtime you can add to your collection. Some buy a lot, others wait for the best prices and jump in. There’s no right or wrong way, just whatever suits you.
Gold isn’t just for bankers or regular investors, it’s for everyday people like me and you who maybe want to get into investing. Start small, stay informed on prices, and remember not to chase quick gains. Take your purchasing slow and steady.
