Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Not long ago news spread that the dandut singer Dewi Perssik had been proposed to by her lover, Rully. Dewi Perssik reportedly received panai money in the form of 24 carat precious metal weighing 1 kilogram.
“Yesterday, there was 1,000 grams of 24 carat gold metal in cash. It was (given directly),” said Dewi Perssik when met in the Transmedia area, Jalan Captain P Tendean, South Jakarta, as quoted by detik (19/3).
Panai money is actually one of the things that must be given by the prospective bride and groom from the male to female family in the tradition of Makassar, South Sulawesi. The position of Uang Panai is different from dowry, although many parties also equate them.
The amount of panai money is generally determined by various factors found in the prospective bride. However, this gift is generally also adjusted to the prospective groom's abilities.
Dewi Perssik herself said that she never specifically asked her lover for Panai Money. However, the dangdut singer who is famous for rocking gergaji admitted that he was very grateful for this.
“Thank God, the feeling is happy because we feel appreciated. What this means is that with my previous experiences, I feel that with this proposal I feel appreciated as a woman who has experienced failure in relationships,” said Dewi Perssik.
Learning from Dewi Perssik's lover, investing in gold in the long term can certainly bring a number of benefits, especially those related to the future. The following is a complete explanation.
Retirement savings
Even though it experiences fluctuations every year, in the long term the price of gold continues to increase.
If you regularly collect gold every month in the form of bars, then it is very likely that in retirement you will already have lots of gold pieces that you can sell right away.
The proceeds from selling gold can certainly become savings that you use to finance your life in retirement.
Gold can certainly be an instrument that you can use to diversify your retirement funds.
Let's just say that if you have invested in shares, you can choose gold as diversification so that your investment risk can be minimized.
Funds for high level children's education
If your baby is still one year old now, then in 17 years he will be going to college.
As is known, the cost of higher education is not cheap and will continue to experience inflation from year to year.
Just like retirement, if you regularly buy gold bars now, in 17 years you will have a lot of gold that can be sold to pay for your child's higher education.
Help with your or your child's wedding costs
Not only can it be used as marriage capital, money or dowry, gold invested in the long term can also be used to help with your child's wedding costs.
It is an honor for parents to be able to play a part in helping organize an unforgettable wedding.
Gold bars bought in advance can be used as dowry or sold to increase the costs of holding your child's wedding in the future.
