About 40 years ago I came across a comment online. It read: "No one cares as much about you or your money as you do." When I read that for the 1st time, something clicked in my mind and I knew without any doubt that I had to become my own financial advisor. So, I did. I read everything I could find that pertained to personal finance. I already had a good grounding in this subject thanks to the steady advice from my Great Depression era mother. She was a very wise person and taught me her rules for living a decent life: 1) work hard; 2) save religiously; 3) invest carefully; and 4) spend very carefully, always living within your income. I followed those rules carefully, unlike my older sister and younger brother, who lived hand to mouth all their lives. To them I added: 5) find a great spouse and stay with them for life. I found the true love of my life and was amazingly blessed by having her as my wife, best friend, partner, and helper. I could not have done what I did without her at my side and I am forever grateful for the blessing that she is and has been for nearly 55 years. She retired at ago 50, taking a teacher pension for her 30 years of service. I retired on my own set schedule at age 55. I used the 72t exception to withdraw money from my 401k to IRA rollover. I now have more money (on paper, anyway) than I had when I retired and this after spending over $600k of it on retirement living expenses. Agree that financial planners do things that may not be in the client's best interest but you can be sure that what they do can be defended in court, if necessary. In any case, I became my own financial advisor and I believe that most people can do this if they have the will and the determination to do it. MUCH reading and some study are involved and it takes a few years to become comfortable with this task. But for me at least the effort was more than worthwhile.

Very practical and reasonable logic for us gold bugs, and even more important for those who aren't yet believers. I have maintained that 5% is a good goal for anyone. However, given the current state of affairs in our world today, and looking forward, I think 8-10% is more prudent. Now, like you, I view gold as an asset, not an investment -- much like my home. They both provide protection and safety, and they generally keep up with inflation, plus a little, over time. I realize that is a bit of an echo chamber on this channel; but I think we all need to be consistently reminded that gold is about preparedness, liquidity (anywhere in the world) and wisdom.

I keep 40% of my savings in gold, 10% in silver and 10% in cash at all times. Once per month I buy whatever is needed to keep that ratio. It means in general that the cheaper gold (or silver) is, the more I have to buy to reach 40% (or 10%) again. When I'm above those limits I just don't buy until I'm below again. So by construction I tend to buy more when it's cheaper, and it's also a way to automatically play the GSR without ever selling metal.

As of now I have x amount of PM. Of that PM I have 85% in gold 10% in silver and 5% in platinum. 60% of my savings is in PM. 30% is on a savings account and 10% is in cash.

100g a year is a good ammount, shouldn't burden your yearly budget too much. While it should still save you plenty of money for retirement. My suggestion though, would be to consider buying 3x 1oz coins instead of a single 100g bar. Why? You might lose some cash on premium but in case you have to sell, you don't need to sell a whole bar (and have leftover cash) but instead you can sell 1 to 3 coins from the stack.

@ulfar8283

@@amciuam157 because where I live (denmark) there isn't any difference whether you buy bars or coins when you want to sell, but there is a price-difference when you buy them. So I buy bars (2x 50g bars minimum a year) to minimize the premium. I do like the different coins availeble and they look nice for showing off in a case, which I do with other old coins, but gold is for savings into late in life. Plus I like to keeps the numbers even, since here we calculate with grams and kilograms, so... (31,1g )3 -vs- (50g)2 pr year! Lets take a american gold eagle which is currently 17818,39 dkk x3 = 53455,17 dkk for 93,3g gold -vs- 50g bar from metalor which is currently 27579.18 dkk x2 = 55158.36 dkk for 100g gold. As of now, this makes the gold price pr gram 572,93 dkk for coins, while it's 551,58 dkk when buying bars. Sorry for showcasing in my own currency, but it is what I deal with (and some times with euros and punds). I do like coins, they look nice and usually has a nice craftmanship to them and I like to showcase my coins in a couple of cases / boxes I got on my shelves. Both old coins, some special silver coins; memory coins, event coin. And watching @2is1 is really making it hard to follow my plan and not switch over to buying coins, haha ;)

If the price of gold goes up and the markets go down I don't refrain from buying gold, though I know some would. If I actually push myself to save more in gold I buy less junk that I don't need so saving with gold has been good for me in that I'm not buying a pile of stuff I won't use or need in 6 months or a year

I think it's all about preference in what you think you need to cover monthly expenses and how many months you need to cover for an emergency. The other aspect is if you're looking to set up for retirement on top of what you already are doing for retirement such as like you stated a 401k stocks bonds real estate and all that. Find out what these amounts are for each one of those. Then set a realistic amount per month to set aside for this and work with that starting point

I feel as in everything take the pulse of what is going on in all areas. Some times i put more in gold and less in the market, more in properties and less in gold ect...but as always when deals come just jump on.

Could you do a video about gold brokers and developing relationships with them. I've been buying for a round 5 years and have bought from a few different brokers over that period. All have varying premiums and sometimes have different specials running or old stock clearances. What I'd like is for a broker to know he can sell to me when gold dips to a certain price but I'm unsure of the etiquette around this. I'm in NZ and currently expecting gold spot to dip to NZ $3500 an oz, I'd like to buy 4 or 5 ozs at that spot, but unsure if I'm being cheeky talking to a broker about that. My last few purchases have been from a company so struggle to get the same broker every time, even when I ask for them by name. We have had $3000 dollar gold here in NZ for quite some time lol! We even had $4000 an oz gold at one point.

It would've been nice to have paid my house off when my company was making megabucks but I just didn't care enough, money was easy. Now I don't like the idea of cashing out gold to do it when gold prices are going to explode any day now. I look at it like this, will it be 2 AGE's or 10 AGE's? Timing!

Also very limited coverage of collectables ($1500 as I recall on my homeowners policy).

In a normal, historical risk like say the nineties and early 2000 when market forces were allowed more freely to move up and down on their merits a 5% to 10% allocation to metals would be a good insurance against the unforeseen. Now I see a government debt servicing that is overtaking military expenditures, the Fed is pouring in liquidity like there is no tomorrow, unfunded liabilities hitting 100 trillion, I see the petro dollar being abandoned and the central banks that will print to eternity to prop up the bond market at the expense of everything else. Now I have to project these risks to my future (these and many more). Do I think these is a 5% chance the dollar will have a crisis in the next 15 years? Well no, I think it is optimistically 50/50 that there will be an inflationary crisis and that what little purchasing power we now have will basically fade to zero measured in dollars. I therefore position myself to be 50% or better in real assets, tooling for my repair side business, infrastructure on the homestead, property and metals. I leave the minority of investments in the system in the off chance I am wrong and life remains grand. There is no right answer and I believe it is just a question of what you believe the future is going to look like and risk tolerance.

"...thinkin' (to himself)..." :)

I'm definitely heavy on silver, but I got into the game later than I should have. Hopefully I can swap some over to gold once the ratio is lower.

100 oz per capita is a wow number!

Traditional recommendation of 5% of a portfolio is now changed by some critical-thinking analytical portfolio managers to at least 15%+ due to many factors including the setup for a foreseeable commodity super cycle that will last for over 4-5 years. Other factors such as Gold as a safe haven for investors during geopolitical instability that is likely to degenerate into a major war with other superpowers such as Russia and China are also now imminent.

Retirement is nearing and after doing much research over recent years, Arkansas has won out over the rest. Property taxes, sales taxes, vehicle registration costs, no state tax on retirement income and no not Little Rock. LOL Picked out a nice area outside of a smaller metro area sans overbearing zoning nonsense and no HOA rubbish to deal with. This cesspool of IL sucks for all of the aforementioned reasons. Have a great weekend. Cheers!

@@2is1gold Indeed, oof. Apparently mister 'butt in the front' who's running things now in Springfield isn't going to be satisfied until the state is on par with Detriot. If the CME were to move out of Chicago the money would as well with well deserved predictable results. We'd like to watch that happen to be honest. Nothing like a front row seat watching Eddie Hall pummel two vertically challenged kids in an MMA cage. It was glorious if you haven't caught it yet. LOL

I think a blue or finback AG whale with a side order of 100+oz of AU, along with 8-9X that value that in other assets would be a pretty good chair to be in at the retirement table. I’ll never know. But it sounds good. 🤣

Sounds great!

I'm doing retirement so it's looking like 51 ounces where I'm at (the priciest location in the USA, maybe even the planet)!

3% sounds about right. If ur a millionaire, $30,000 worth is a nice inflation hedge to get you through a catastrophic situation (world or personal) without getting carried away.

95% Gold, and 5% fiat for monthly expenses and in case of emergency. And I have no intention to ever sell an ounce of it till maybe 15 years later.

Since 2019 gold is now considered a Tier 1 asset, which means it can be counted as part of a bank's core capital reserves. Under Basel accord a bank has to maintain a certain level of cash or liquid assets as a ratio of its Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) as capital adequacy ratio. ☝️☝️☝️☝️

I brass sundial ? What's next a gold sextant !!! Class you man !

When just starting out accumulating precious metals, life is simple. After several years of steady purchases things get more complicated... what percent allocation is appropriate?... what is the difference between RSC level II and TL-15 and TL-30? Is anyone gonna buy all those french roosters? Of course all good problems to have!

I'm currently at 11% of savings/investments and it feels like a comfortable place to be at 38 for me. If markets take a downturn I'll probably stay the same, and just reduce some cash down and put into stocks to buy the discounts. Always keeping it simple... thanks for the video 👍

Financial planners hate gold... especially when they are paid per investable assets. You buy gold to hold, not for a planner to move you from Nvidia into Gamestop and back every few months. Once you've covered your retirement and potential medical costs the percentage of gold in your net worth should not be limited by people who proclaim what an appropriate percentage is. Mega wealth families can easily have 50 - 75% in gold

I buy fractional gold every two weeks... and sometimes more often. Maybe I'm a genius or maybe I'm retarded, but either way I don't think I'm wrong.

I’m so far behind the ball. I’m about 200 to 1 in silver to gold

Converting 5% of the portfolio to gold on the day you retire is useless. Gold is a hedge against inflation (currency debasement) over time. To accomplish that, you need to acquire it over time as well.

I don’t think of gold as an investment - in the same way that I don’t think of cash as an investment. I think of gold as a hedge to my cash. At some point, maybe I’ll have enough gold to think of it as a hedge to other investments - but that would take a lot of gold AND insecurity of my other investments.

Dollar for dollar, I'd first work on getting my home stead paid for & at the same time (more or less) I'd work towards a working (i.e. something you have to work with not just sit around collecting dividends) investment that will make you an income then as you get extra money that you really don't need to use start buying some (or lots & lots of) gold &/or silver & etc. Gold has seemed to to better but I do think silver will take off some day soon in part because it has lagged behind some. But silver takes more room to store, now I know that is likely not a problem for most folks but for some it is. I'd at least have some silver for bartering & gold for when the 'new' form of money comes out, & if by some miracle the collapse of the US. dollar does not happen you still have both to help you deal with the diminishing purchasing power of the dollar.
