Five Ways to Pay for the Holidays
It’s that time of year again. The seasons are changing and the feasts with family and friends are around the corner. It’s the occasion for pumpkin-flavored goodies, chestnuts roasting on an open fire, and gift-giving galore. While these days may seem magical for many, for some, the question is, “how can I pay for the holidays”? Below, we’ve compiled five smart and easy tips to help you.
- Sell Your Gold
If you have gold jewelry laying around that you are not wearing, now is the time to put that gold to work for you. The best part is that selling your gold gets you money in your pocket the same day, avoids putting gifts and more on your credit cards and puts things that are lying around to work. The best part about selling your gold is that the process is quick and painless.
How does it work?
First, you’ll schedule your appointment for the date and time that works best for you. Once you bring in your gold, it will be thoroughly tested and evaluated in a matter of minutes. This means that in the time it takes you to return to your jewelry buyer from tasting the latest holiday pastries at your favorite coffee shop, a quote will be available for you! If you choose to accept the offer, a check made out to you on the same day. You’ll have the funds you need for plenty of gifts and treats for your loved ones without breaking a sweat.
- Sell Your Diamonds
Not only will selling your gold go a long way, diamonds are also luxury assets that can help you out in a pinch. Though the diamond industry has seen its share of ups and downs, they are sure to pay off for you in the end. Are you holding on to the memory of a romance that has long faded? Perhaps, you still have the engagement ring you were once given and things didn’t quite go according to plan. Well, now you can earn extra cash from that diamond ring.
The more knowledge you have about your diamond, the more you stand to gain financially. When it comes to selling your diamond, you’ll need to know what type of diamond you’re working with in order to achieve the best results. For instance, finding out the diamond’s cut, clarity, color, and carat weight (the 4cs) will help you to ascertain whether your diamond buyer is giving you the best deal in town. Having the GIA certificate for your diamond will also add to its value. A GIA certificate is one of the highest standards of diamond reporting that is followed by diamond buyers worldwide.
- Sell Your Watch
Jewelry isn’t the only way in which you can earn the finances you need for the holiday season. Your ticket to financial help could be ticking right on your nightstand. That’s right! If you’ve got a high-end watch such as a Rolex, you’re in luck. Depending on your watches condition, this watch could offer you a significant return on your investment.
