Gold, $1,000 per ounce, easy

While businesses are promoting the concept of "gold parties", we prefer the concept of just putting some gold in an envelope and sending it to a broker. The good ones will email you immediately to tell you how much they're willing to give you for your gold. < a href="http://goldprice.org/buying-gold/2005/12/selling-scrap-gold.html">Gold price.org has a good primer on how to sell your gold, or you could just try your local pawn shop. It's a good idea to remove any non-gold valuables first, if possible (for instance, pry out gems from their settings). And Tom Barlow has an excellent warning for you to read BEFORE you sell your gold!

Ask the Dolans

I have a high amount of debt and have been thinking about debt consolidation. Can you explain how this works, and how it affects my FICO score?
