It has arrived. The time of year when stores are full of paraphernalia touting the 2016 in various combinations of gold, silver and black sparkles. Balloons, cakes, cards, and an endless supply of teddy bears, customized jewelry, and personalized paperweights. Mom’s best friend is bound to give an inspirational book and Aunt Carol will likely pick up one of those silly picture frames with the 2016 plastered all over it. Then there’s the most thoughtful relative that presents the car, perfectly wrapped with a big red bow on the roof, shining like a brilliant star atop the Christmas tree. It’s a long-standing tradition that graduates hope for a car upon moving their tassels from right to left. But, perhaps there is something better this year…what if there was something more impact, more valuable, more advantageous than a car to give that graduate you hold so dearly? The best option might be to buy gold for your graduate and we will go over the reasons why.
This year, Buy Gold for the Graduate In Your Life
A car is fun, yes, and is in fact necessary to function depending on where you live. It is also such an essential part of life that your graduate will likely find a way to acquire a vehicle even if he or she does not receive one for graduation. On the flip side however, your graduate is unlikely to even think, much less, venture into the world of investing at this stage of life. Unless of course you’ve got a young Charles Schwab on your hands.
Instead, start your graduate off right by: buy gold as a gift this year and see their investment portfolio begin to take shape. You’re giving them an appreciating asset rather than a depreciating one. Likewise, they will watch their financial status rise, rather than spending money maintaining that vehicle.
It comes down to giving a gift that keeps on giving or one that may or may not become a financial burden.
If you’re ready to give a truly handsome gift this year, contact our team at Landmark Capital: we’ll help you make a difference in your graduate’s life. We can start him or her off with a diverse portfolio that can enable them to have a successful plan for the future. With you thinking about and investing in their future, it will help remind them where their priorities should be at.
