Saving in Gold and Platinum, Part 2

in hive-136819 •  5 years ago 

Savings may mean different to me than to other people.

I came across this article that explains in simple way a What Savings Isn't, and proposes that saving is not the absence of spending. Rather, It's the intentional act of setting money aside for a specific goal or purpose.

Cash that’s leftover in your checking account after you’ve paid the monthly bills doesn't necessarily count as savings, especially if you tend to use that money to splurge on a fancy dinner or another treat-to-self in the next month.

Similarly, you haven’t necessarily increased your savings if you’ve saved $5 at the grocery store. You've refrained from spending more than you otherwise would have, but saving means that you actually tucked that money aside somewhere.


Like many of you, I save by continually adding to an emergency fund, pay towards a retirement account and life insurance, and regularly paydown mortgage.

Also I methodically set aside part of my disposable income and exchange fiat currency (U.S. Dollars) for precious metals (silver, gold, platinum).

I save in Mene 24K jewelry.

Today, being #menemonday, I am pleased to show you the recent addition to my Mene 24K gold savings!

Lucky Horseshoe 24K Gold Charm


This Lucky Horseshoe Gold Charm has been in my wishlist for more than a year now. It finally is here and part my Mene 24K jewelry savings.

Thank you for viewing this article.

I post an article daily, and I hope to see you again soon!

It's exactly what has to be done when I pay for most things on a Cash Basis. My kids now have their first checking account and credit card and they now understand the responsibilities of that. They see how I physically set cash aside for certain expenses, how I watch my due dates, know the value and flexibility of a Cash Reserve and not to purchase by credit unless they have at least an incoming paycheck to cover it.
I can ramble on and on.
As always, done with Love 🌺 💝 🌹 💓 🌸

OMGosh, the kids have grown so fast! Soon they will be so independent.
Yeah sis, they have as a great example of how to handle finances and you can always show them how to do it correctly. I don't know if they still teach that in school, i.e., personal finance, budgeting, etc. You are a great mom, sis!
Take care and lots of hugs and kisses 🤗🤗💕

Well stated @silversaver888, most people even if they stop spending just have a bit more cash on hand for that new toy!
I think thats why so many are living paycheck to paycheck....
Your Mene 24K jewelry is beautiful to wear and and an investment for the future!!!
Unfortunately so many will not get this message, but maybe one person might read this post and start saving!😀
Be safe my friend!!!😍😍😀

There are so many peeps in steam and Hive... not many come to read articles about precious metals. Even my personal friends do not get it. I recall during my first month of stacking excitedly telling them that I started stacking. And they ask: WHY? and with disbelief that I do. I stopped talking to them about it, LOL!
Have a wonderful evening, and take care my friend @silvertop 🤗🤗💕

So very true @silversaver888, I stopped giving Silver presents to our sons for that same reason. Our youngest son Bill gets it, but being just Married four years his World is working and his Wife.😍
I will slip up occasionally, and get excited about a new Shiny and then you see the look.....😶
Thats OK they will figure it out eventually....
You should see the look when Dad tries to explain Hive and how this new money was a snapshot of Steem!!🤔
One more Month of shelter in place be safe my friend!!😍😍😀
