    Before I started stacking silver, and my little bit of gold, I'd spend my money each month and then it would be gone. Now, thanks mainly to you I have that additional shiny savings treasure box locked away safe for either my old age or my sons inheritance. I'm very fortunate to be in a position to squirell some shiny stuff away, my mum has never been in a position to do that for me.

    if you have been stacking 5 years or so you are relatively new to stacking. i heard these same points you make 40 years and you are right you should pay off your home but i have bought stocks years ago and a lot of these companies no longer exist so my stocks are worthless. and i have changed my live with silver and gold. silver and gold bought my home and land i have now, i have been lucky in my timing as when to sell over the years (sold in 1980 and 2009 and 2011) and i never sell all my stack so even today my cost average is very low. so do not undervalue the roll silver and gold can and will play in your life in say the next 30 years! your friend, jim

      Debt is cheap and being devalued by the day via runaway hyperinflation. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason to pay off a house when you have a 4-6% rate against a 7-14% inflation rate (reported vs actual) it's a no brainer to NOT invest your money in a payoff.

      @@joshspeed7794 I offer this to counter your point: if your house is paid off and you are debt free, then you are much more insulated against major events in the financial world. High interest rates actually help as you can roll over what used to be a mortgage payment into high interest bonds. Housing market going sky or crashing? It's all irrelevant to you, the mortgage and debt free citizen.

    I can't really afford it but the question I asked myself was can I afford not to buy it. I don't make a whole lot with my meager salary but i faithfully purchase some silver or gold every month. I'd rather put some money in precious metals because to me it functions as my savings, it is to easy for me to spend cash I put back rather than having my money in precious metals and having to sell some to convert it into cash to spend. I'm just so much more likely to not do that and reevaluate whether or not I really need to spend it or not. For me it's just the easiest way to save money.

    I believe I am diversified. I have had mostly silver, and a little gold, for many years. Sure, my stocks in my IRA went up a ton, but you can't get it out to collect the "rewards." Yeah, stocks look good, but you can't control IRAs very well. I think of silver and gold as retaining real money, not as an investment.

    I think it's going to be hard to say what will happen to gold/silver while 1) both are still available to purchase from us plebs, and 2) the USD still retains confidence as a currency. The wait for either of those could be months or decades. That's why I stack for long term; not for flipping at coin shops for a small percentage profit. But everyone has their own reasons for stacking and I don't judge.

      You prudence and financial discipline is laudable, but the question is are you the exception or the rule. In other words just because you are able to achieve something is it fair to expect everyone else to achieve the same thing. Often successful people don't understand the rarity or exception of their success. It looks like from your statement that you made changes and sacrifices in your spending habits that allowed you to stack. Just to play devil's advocate: what if you were (heaven forbid) to develop a terminal illness a month from now and the things that you gave up to stack silver and gold although not providing any material value still enriched your life in other ways, would the opportunity cost of stacking still be worth it? I think that the belief that the poverty is solely a function of "broken" mindset is short sighted; so many factors play into being impoverished and for every person who breaks the bounds of poverty as remarkable and celebrated as it is there are thousands of hard-working, decent, salt-of-the-earth people who never escape it.

    Here in Canada, it costs a lot more to buy an ASE than a generic round, but when you take them to your local bullion dealer, he will give you 95% of spot for each of them. If you are a stacker, buy silver which is offered at the lowest premium and only when the market is down. I switched to buying gold, which has a much lower spread between buy and sell and I also only buy during dips in the market. If you follow the GSR, you will note that gold has outperformed silver by quite an amount. My silver stack, based on silver value alone, has not kept up with inflation. My gold stack has outperformed inflation and has, therefore, increased in real value.

    I bet there are far more people stacking and collecting than we realise. Just here in the UK there is Royal Mint, Pobjoy, Westminster, Minted Uk, Silver Trader, Yorkshire Bullion, Bleyey, Atkinsons, Chards, Bullion By Post and many more, thats the few i can think off top of my head, oh and not to forget the numerous Ebay sellers! They all must be making enough to pay wages etc, so precious metals and coins are lucrative somewhere.
    But it does feel a lonely pastime, some people would just never tell anyone of ever dream of watching youtube vids but there must be healthy numbers and i can only see the attraction becoming a little more widespread with all the newer bullion designs being released over pst 5 or 6 years, from Disney, Marvel, Simpsons just to name a few. I know people have collected and stacked for a long time but modern stacking does feel very new and i think we are early adopters to this way of saving and preserving, it could become more desirable as cash becomes used less, people may have a desire to hold something they value rather than the souless didgets of poverty displayed on a screen. But its not a get rich quick but more slowly slowly catchy lunar monkey.

Add that to trading between essential items like farmers and shops and you literally have an underground network to keep things more stable.

  • @crackerjack4790

    The great pay back from owning silver and gold is money awareness. That is, knowing what money is and is not... Learning respect for money as a representation of the hard work of someone, you, me, (them of the past, they of the future). It is seeing clearly that currency is not money but currency. The world right now deals in currencies that are always 'WORTH LESS". Fools and their money are easily parted, mother used to say to me. She was right. I've been parted from great obscene amounts of money, through divorce, bad investments, stupid purchases. Sold gold at the wrong time and palladium at the wrong time, land and houses at the right time. And I bought a little gold and silver along the way. The gold and the silver never changed. It is just there if I need it. And a great freedom comes from that knowledge. I give it away, to kids and grand-kids in the hope it will make then think differently as I think differently.
