Seems like a lousy investment.

So what you're saying is I should invest in gold because it increases in price at the same rate as housing?

So I never actually make any progress? And then in the end I just have a bunch of gold? Why wouldn't I just buy the house then?

Well you can buy gold little by little and in the end you sell it and buy a house.

Or as somebody pointed out you can invest in an index fund and get higher returns

Gold doesn't require maintenance

No, you're missing the point. Invest in housing.

Let's be real, hordeing physical gold is just something elderly people do because of scam advertisements they see on cable TV.
