Why a 20-Year-Old is Buying Gold - Not Property

At the inaugural Gold Coast Gold Conference, Brian Chu sat down with 20-year-old Cameron Knezevic to unpack a surprising trend – young Australians turning away from traditional property investments and embracing gold.

"I just don't see property as the first stepping stone anymore," Cameron says. With housing prices soaring and the average wage far from catching up, the dream of home ownership for young people is increasingly out of reach. Instead of saving for an unattainable deposit, Cameron chose to build wealth through gold – a tangible, globally trusted asset that doesn't require hundreds of thousands of dollars to start.

Cameron's journey began after watching Mike Maloney's "Hidden Secrets of Money", which helped him understand the flaws of fiat currency and the value of real assets. "Everything we're taught in school about money – most of it is incomplete or misleading," he reflects.

With no formal university training, Cameron gained his financial literacy through self-education and real-world work experience – first in construction and now with a bullion dealer. He emphasises how gold offers a sense of independence and security, especially in volatile economic environments. "You can start with $4. It's outside the system. And it's real."

Brian commended Cameron's mindset, saying, "He's ahead of the curve. It's never too early to start with gold."
