Don't mind her. Gold is. Be it in bars or in jewelry form.
Personally, I don't like real estate. I was duped a few times those days. and not to talk of depreciation on building and tenant wahala. But there are many safe lady-friendly investments a woman can do and sleep with both eyes closed.
Please buy shares but seek the advice of a good and reputable stock broker . You can do Money market investment with Stanbic or UBA. You can invest both in naira or better, dollars because of inflation. Even though the rate is no longer as high as b4 since Buhari happened to our economy, it is better, interest and growth is steady, your money is safe and liquid. You can decide to throw any loose income there and forget about it.
My car is an asset for me now. Toyota. Bought in 2020, luckily car prices were low cos people sold their cars due to covid lockdowns
Now in 2022 due to supply chain crises car prices skyrocketed, my car is now worth $4k more than I bought it 😄 In 2yrs I have so far spent only 500$ on prevention maintenance...
Everything you said is correct apart from gold not being an investment. You don't want to know how much I sold some of my old gold I bought many years ago.
She definitely missed the mark mentioning gold. Even certain bags are an asset. My mom recently valued a couple classic Chanel purses (jumbo and medium flap) and sold a Balenciaga jacket. All items are valued at a much higher price than she paid for them.
Gold bar is an asset but not gold wrist watches and necklaces. When she said gold, we already know what she means. Which Nigerian knows or have seen a gold bar before?
Gold bar might be more valuable but anything gold is an asset cos it appreciate. A business woman once told my sister how she survives in business when the economy is bad. She invest in gold when business is good resell when dollar is high. Gold don dey save many people tey tey. The business woman is an illiterate but very smart.
If you buy gold, at the ongoing rate, in what ever form, it’s an asset. But if you go buy gold jewelry or accessories, whereby a large part of the pice is attributable to ‘craftsmanship or brand’ then that’s not a very good investment. Usually people sell their gold at the on-going rate; premium paid for brand or craftsmanship would be irrelevant and erode your profits.
She is right. We abuse each other with what we “supposedly have”. As long as a person is not coming to you to beg money, learn to stop this nouveau riche behavior. Enjoy your wealth. Stop trying to shame another person. Let them live their life as they want. No one made you judge and jury

DeleteInteresting choice of words.
DeleteShares is shares though, I don't see what makes it "lady-friendly".
Lady-friendly like she won't be exposed to the troubles of real estate. They are investments you do and go and sleep.
DeleteGold is an asset sha, some bags…Birkin… LV & Gucci… car is a liability….
ReplyDeleteKaren
In my opinion, car is not a liability. It is a tool.

when these people have nothing puting them on the news they will just be yanning anyhow..
ReplyDeleteRuth, I hear you.
ReplyDeleteBut please remove any gold from that list. When my parents got swindled some years ago, my mom's collection came to the rescue.
I am talking school fees for several children.
Daily OpEx.
Legal Fees.
Etc etc till things became ok.
What my sisters, and I have in gold and other forms of jewellery........
Is true when they say one should be quiet rather than sound like a fool.
ReplyDeleteIt's not Is.
DeleteAnon 13:55, this "is" irritares me so bad ehn
DeleteThis is definitely for Laura
ReplyDeleteEverything you said is correct apart from gold not being an investment. You don't want to know how much I sold some of my old gold I bought many years ago.

Speak for yourself biko.
DeleteGold necklaces and earrings are assets dear. I know how much gains I have made from them.
DeleteI have. There are many others too who have.
DeleteHow you comfortable make judgement on people you don't know is funny. Please stop projecting.
DeleteGold jewellery is an asset as well. Maybe you say this because yours are gold plated over sterling silver.
