Sharon's in Greenville, South Carolina.

Hi, Sharon.

Welcome to the Ramsey Show.

Hi, thank you.

What's up?

I am 75 years old, a recent widow, and we have some lakefront land for sale in South Carolina, and I was recently offered full price, $600,000 in physical gold.

And I'm having a heck of a time finding any good advice as to the advantages and disadvantages of accepting physical gold in payment for the land.

And I've listened to you for years.

And it occurred to me, I need to call Dave and see what he would recommend.

Okay, number one, if this is real, you don't know.

It is. You laid eyes on a big giant chest full of gold bullion?

That's what I got in my head.

No, no. I know. I can clarify.

I know the person who is offering the deal very well, and he is a wealthy person who owns a large company

that does work in four Southeastern companies, so he's legit, you know, not a difficult

person to check out.

Then why doesn't he just pay you?

What do you mean?

Why doesn't he just close the land?

I mean, sell the gold and pay you in cash.

Well, I would ask him that question. That's a good question to ask. He told me he has been buying gold. He's a great believer in the gold standard for the U.S.

And since he started his company at 18 and he's 80 now, he has accumulated all this physical gold.
