How to start investing in gold with small amounts

Saving can be difficult at the beginning, but once you develop the right habits, it's time to move on. I often get asked how to start investing without specialist knowledge, huge funds and unnecessary risk. For me, stocks, bonds, ETFs, and tracking quotes still sound a bit scary. On the other hand, a savings account does not protect our savings sufficiently against inflation, which is growing at a crazy pace.

When I took a closer look at this issue, it turned out that the best solution in my and probably your situation is to invest in gold.

Yes, I know, my dear – at first you probably thought of a gold communion chain from your aunt, which is the most you can afford. But I have a completely different idea for you today.

You have learned to save and manage your money wisely, so today we will get rid of these misconceptions and enter a slightly higher level of investing. I will present you with a convenient, simple and above all safe solution, thanks to which you will start investing in gold even today

Why choose gold?

A savings account works well in the short term. In the long term, inflation eats up my money “bit by bit.” When my husband and I first started talking about investing, gold was always his first choice.

My brother-in-law is a goldsmith and in my husband's family, gold has always been seen as the best currency. It has been synonymous with high value and wealth for generations. I bet your parents and grandparents think the same way. Right?

You know what's interesting about this story? My husband is from India, as is his entire family. No matter where your parents or grandparents are from, they have a similar way of looking at gold.

This shows the first advantage of gold – its universality and internationality . It is a hard, trustworthy currency in every corner of the world. Regardless of whether you are in Poland or India, gold is known and valued.

Investing in gold also has the added advantage that gold is resistant to economic and political turmoil . It is not dependent on the politics of any country, and cannot be “printed” to plug a hole in the budget. The amount of gold available on Earth is finite, it is extracted in mines, and for this reason its value will never fall below the costs of exploiting the deposit.

Investing in gold and the economic crisis.

But is gold depreciating? Is it really a good hedge against inflation? A picture says a thousand words, so check out this chart below.

As you can see, despite various economic turmoil and crises, the value of gold is definitely increasing in the long term .

Gold is seen by investors as a safe haven because its available quantity is limited and it cannot go bankrupt, which cannot be said about listed companies. Therefore, in moments of the greatest economic crises, the value of gold increases.

Transferring the value of gold.

Not everyone is impressed by graphs, so I have a more illustrative comparison for you.

We see how money loses value every day, unfortunately. Two years ago, you could buy 12 kg of bananas for 50 PLN. Today, for the same amount, only 7 kg. That's a big difference, right?

Let's test the value of gold, but over a slightly longer period of time, 100 years.

A Ford in 1923 cost 16 ounces of gold and today you can buy a good Ford for exactly the same amount of gold. If we were to compare that value in any currency, it would barely buy a set of tires. You can see how much cash has lost value. Gold, on the other hand, has stood the test of time.

I’m starting to invest in gold, but where will I store the bars?

The big bars from gangster movies have little in common with real investment bars. Gold is a very dense metal. What does that mean? That a kilogram of gold will fit in the palm of your hand.

Why is this a plus? First of all, it makes it extremely easy to store or transport gold. But let's look at the photo again:

1oz bar goldsaver.pl

This is what a 1 ounce gold bar looks like on my hand. An ounce is a unit of measurement and is equivalent to 31.1g. This small bar is worth over 8 thousand zlotys!

Imagine how easy it is to store or transport it . In fact, if you want, you can be completely independent of external institutions. This gives peace of mind to many people in uncertain times, when trust even in banks is falling. Cash of the same value would definitely cause more problems.

How much should you start investing in gold with?

You say, okay, I have some savings, but it's not enough to be able to afford a bar right away. What then?

Goldsaver.pl , in cooperation with which today's article was created, comes with a perfectly tailored solution .

Goldsaver is part of Goldenmark , a leading supplier of physical gold in Poland, operating on our market for over 13 years. They have created a convenient solution that makes buying gold child's play .

Just set up your individual account on the goldsaver.pl website and you can start buying your first bar today, even from PLN 50. Setting up an account and buying a bar is really very simple. You make the payment online, also via BLIK.

I show how to log in and purchase gold in the video that you can watch on my YouTube.

You can choose the amount you want to buy your “piece” of bar for and buy more grams when you have the funds. You can also invest in gold systematically and set up a standing order. This solution will work perfectly as a cure for the lack of systematicity that many people complain about on their way to building a financial cushion.

You always buy at the current rate, which you can track in your goldsaver account.

When you buy gold weighing 1 ounce, i.e. 31.1 g, you can pick up your bar at your convenience - at a Goldenmark store, of which there are 24 in larger cities in Poland, or order it by courier to your home.

You can also leave it in the Goldenmark vault. You can also sell the gold you buy at any time if you need to.

An additional bonus for you to start with.

Is this really safe?

Okay, Beata, tell me, but how can I be sure that Goldsaver will deliver real gold, I'm not an expert.

Gold for Goldsaver is supplied by Goldenmark , which offers gold only from trusted producers with LBMA accreditation , the London Bullion Market Association. This is the most respected institution on the global gold market, and being a member of it involves meeting a number of rigorous criteria. Therefore, anyone who buys gold from producers with LBMA accreditation can be sure that they are buying a reputable and authentic product.

Each bar sold has a certificate confirming its authenticity. The bars are delivered to you in certified packaging – CertiPack. Each bar has a serial number stamped on its surface. The same number can be found on the packaging and on the certificate.

As you can see, thanks to Goldsaver, the highest quality gold is now within your reach.

Small changes, big effects.

I always say that big results come in small steps. Once you start, your golden financial cushion will simply start growing.

I'll tell you, my dear, that when I bought my first "piece" of bar on goldsaver.pl , I felt great, because there is also something in this investing in gold that raises our status . 100 PLN was enough for me to start calling myself an investor!

Now I convert every tempting sale into grams of gold that I can buy for it. A slight change in thinking, and Beata from the future will definitely thank me for it.

Another advantage of investing in gold is that the money in a savings account is “tempting” and it is easy to reach for it for unplanned expenses.

Gold will already make you think harder about whether this is really an urgent need. However, it is liquid enough that in an emergency it can be easily sold.

If you have any questions, leave them in the comments, we will answer them all. In the meantime, create an account and take the first step towards investing in gold!
