Years ago, I was told by someone wise, "be your own central bank, buy gold and silver"
Well, today, I was my own central bank. I had to free up some cash to buy a bed, pay some bills etc. So I sold 20 oz silver and 1.5 oz gold
But I didn't leave the coin store with nothing but currency, I spotted a cool OPM bar and bought that.
It's a sweet little bar.
But anyway, I was able to buy a proper bed, put a grand on a MasterCard, and have a bit of walking around money, until things straighten out.
And I got a burrito and street corn, and am enjoying that with an IPA.
So there's a real life example of what I was told years ago.
Cheers everyone.
Yup, exactly why we stack!!! We are our own banks! Wishing you the best, my friend, @fat-elvis!

I love to be my own Central Bank with every ounce I can Stack.
And to treat me and the kids to something regularly, take care.

Even with cutting out almost all the little luxuries, and car, I admit it's getting tougher each year on my sole income as a Nurse supporting 3 dependents living in BC. Even with frugal living standards I have to resort now to Moonlighting work in order to put something into a Stacking Fund. I started stacking in 2014 when I actually had more discretionary income, things are sure different in 4 short years. Nominal Inflation is definitely not 2% each year around here I tell you.

Brilliant mate, i'd rather sell some of my silver from time to time and not just hold it. It reaffirms that it is a viable currency in my head. In spite of most believing its not.

There's rarely been any time in history when you can't sell gold and silver! It is God's money after all.

Perfect!! Thats why I "spend" my money on silver and gold... I know it is there as a line of defense for when finances take an interesting turn.

That's right! Times got tough, and in a matter of an hour I had about $2800.00 in my pocket! It's a good thing, and I'll rebuild my stack later.

It was and still is great advice @fat-elvis! It would have been real bad if you ended up re-spending all your money on new silver. Haha!

I'm doing OK. Thank goodness I have a stack to fall back on! I'm still getting paid, still have a job, but I won't borrow from a bank to rebuild my life if I can help it! Just need a few comfort items for now, to regain some mental health, like a bed and lamps, maybe I'll build a coffee table this weekend. Then I can build a TV stand. And after mediation, I'll get a few things back, and move on. Cheers brother.
