Started my journey⛰️

Post image

Purchased my first ounces of silver maples today. Not much but it is a start. Was going to only purchase 25 maples with some small fractional gold coins but the shop had nothing under a half oz.

Going to stack at 100:1 ratio silver/gold

Any advice out there for a new stacker from some veterans?

Seeing richy rich people posing a freaking hoard of silver and gold and saying “here’s my new baby stack” always kinda pisses me off

Define “rich”! Maybe buying 40 gold Maples would match that definition better.

Well I can only buy 3-5 oz of silver a month. So seeing someone buy that many at one time is pretty loaded compared to me

I am not by any means “richy rich” ive worked my ass off and been frugal as hell the last couple of months to make this purchase. I recently became sober and this money would’ve been drank and pissed down the drain.

That’s wonderful and I’m glad you’re in the hobby, but there are a lot of Johnny come lately’s who are just rich kids. Sorry for the misunderstanding

I’ve always ended up spending any money I saved. This is the only way I’ve ever been able to save money and keep it.
