As a 60-year-old widower, with everything paid off. I've been spending 95% of every disposable dollar on precious metals. My stack is going to supplement my retirement in a few years.

My Condolences to you sir. I just started stacking 4 months ago, and I will not stop stacking. My wife thought I was kinda nuts since we grew up poor kids . But I think that I might be getting to her thought process on this with silver and gold . I work 2 jobs for my family of 5 and I have started taking 85 % of my side work money and buy metal every week with it cause I have a feeling that my 401k may not be there when I retire or if I get to even retire someday. It feels like a tight wire act when payday rolls around and takes all your money to pay bills and buy food from the store. 💯 to you . Thx. For sharing . # stack on Au,AG .

Too bad you didn’t put that into a mutual fund , you could actually make money rather than be lucky to break even

Absolutely! Changing bad spending habits into good 'saving' habits buy storing wealth into Gold and Silver. Great video!

Looking around my surroundings, I see a brand new 1/4 AGE I picked up this afternoon after working a side gig on my day off yesterday. My LCS beat online price by $50. Other new stackers may consider finding an LCS and putting the savings over online into a little more silver here and there. I had planned on buying a 1/10 AGE, but because I worked extra I could afford a 1/4. Still gonna buy that 1/10 on Friday!

I have been stacking for years, with years of not stacking in between. Biggest change in my availability of funding for silver...I quit drinking!!!! I was physically not healthy. Stage 1 fatty liver. I was spending roughly $100 a week on alcohol. Talked with the wife and to be fair we agreed on a $50 cash reward for every week I don't drink. It was supper easy, cold turkey, because it was a physical problem not mental. Now I can keep my wealth and health!

I sell stuff on eBay for a living. I have storage areas full of extra inventory. For last three months I stopped buying more inventory and am selling what I have. In same time I bought close to 200 ounces of silver so far and everything is about the same. In a few more months I think I’ll empty a storage so a future monthly savings incoming too.

Cutting out the junk in your life can really change things for you. Don't give up or cut out everything, but just a few things really makes a difference. I made a change in my life, Craft beers was something I loved, easily spending a couple $$$$ a month on really good and expensive brews, but I knew health wise, this was not something I should continue to do, as I am pushing 50 and have several issues with my heart. So have given that vise up and man, do I have the extra cash now! I have kicked up the 401(k) savings and increased my stacking budget. 20 more ounces in the past two months alone!

@StatesideStash

7 күн бұрын

Dude thanks for sharing that story. Many people don’t understand what cutting back on something can do for your life

Yeah, I mostly just cut out fast food of any kind, and set aside a certain amount of cash with which to dollar cost average. I literally started out with between $10 to $40 a month to purchase with. It's been more than a decade, and even with inflation, I'm sitting between $110 to $200 per month that I'm able to spend on Silver and/or Gold. Typically I buy Silver, but $80 to $100 gets put back monthly for a future Gold purchase. I went from being neck deep in consumer debt more than a decade ago, to having many tens of thousands of dollars in savings, and I owe a lot of that to the discipline brought into my life by choosing to regularly convert my fiat money back into real money for the long-term.
