Akshaya Trithiya:
Below is the excerpt from different puranas.No where it says buy Gold.All it says is Donate,Help,Fast,Meditate!!Whatever you do do good
The most important tithi in Vaiśākha is the third of the bright half. It is called Akṣayya-tritiya. The earliest reference to it is probably in the Viṣṇu-dharmasūtra where it is said that one should fast on this tithi, worship Vāsudeva with whole grains of rice, should offer them into fire and donate them thereby one becomes purified from all sins, whatever a man donates on that day becomes inexhaustible. The Matsya Purāna (chap 65, verses 1-7) and Naradiya treat of this. The former says that whatever is donated or sacrificed or muttered on this tithi becomes inexhaustible (in reward) that a fast thereon gives inexhaustible results that if this tritīya has Kṛttika asterism then it is specially commended. The Bhaviṣyottara-Purāna (chap 30 1-19) deals at some length with it. It says that this tithi is one of the Yugādi tithis because the Kṛta age began on it whatever is done on it, such as bath, gifts, muttering of sacred texts (japa), offerings into fire, Veda study, satiating deceased (with water) — all that becomes inexhaustible. It provides that gifts of jars of water and of umbrellas and of footwear should be made (to Brāhmaṇas) on this day and that what is sacrificed or donated on this day never comes to an end and therefore this tithi is called akṣaya (inexhaustible) by the sages. The third is to be taken for these religious rites when it exists in the forenoon, but if it exists in the forenoon on two days the one that exists on the later day should be chosen far vrata.21 It is provided in the Purānas that tarpana performed on the tithis called Yugādi gives inexhaustible gratification to the pitrs. But no piṇḍas (rice-balls) are to be offered in Yugādi-Śrāddha. Akṣayyatritiya is one of the days popularly believed to be most auspicious in the year (it is itself so).
