I read in Robert Kiyosaki's book that it is better to save with gold rather than saving with a bank. He said, saving with gold protects your money from inflation which causes money to lose its value.
I would like to start saving with this method but how?
I hope some myLotters could enlighten me. Thanks

Depending on where you live, you can check out the banks that issue gold coin, gold certificates or you can open a gold savings account. In a gold savings account, you will be issued unallocated gold when you put your money in the account. You can withdraw it anytime, sell it back to the bank.

If I have much free money, I'll buy gold. However, if I have a few, I'll save in bank because I can withdraw any time.

hi I have read this too about putting your extra money in saving gold rather than in the bank. I prefer my savings as small as they may be in a safe bank account and not in jewelry that could be stolen. Anyway I do not have any extra money to buy gold or do anything with. lucky people to have that much money to buy gold with. wow. I do envy them as what I have has to be spent all the time. lol. AI sure cannot enlighten anyone as I have no idea how to make that kind of money.

Hi DDaguno, I think you forget one very important factor.
When is the book written?
Is the information still valid?
If the book is written when gold price was just $800 per ounce, it is definitely worthwhile to buy and keep, assuming you have the money for it.
Now gold price is at $1500, do you have so much money to buy gold?
If not, you can start from silver investing, such as buying silver bar with 99.9% purity or silver coins.
