I didn’t have much money to buy gold/silver until my dad passed away and I got an inheritance in 2018. The first 2 things I did was to pay off my mortgage, and then buy $75,000 worth of gold and silver. It’s worth a lot more now….😉👍🏻👍🏻
For peoples FUTURE: Having PHYSICAL gold or silver WILL help you during hyperinflation. If you have a mortgage or ANY locked in payment contract, gold/silver will help you. As hyperinflation starts the value of 1 ounce of gold or silver WILL rise also. So lets say the gold price goes to $800,000.00 an ounce and silver goes to $70,000.00 an ounce and your bank wants payment of the $400,000.00 balance NOW, you simply give them 1/2 ounce of gold or 6 ounces of silver. This ONLY works with LOCKED in, NOT variable, contracts. And you can buy farms, houses, vehicles, plazas...as long as those are LOCKED in prices because variable rates would be hard to catch up with (there will be many whose loans will be called in so ya can arrange to buy them and have them as tenants or not). Hopefully the above makes cents (sense ).
I started stacking in 2020. I sold my pickup and needed to do something with the money before I spent it. I bought a 5oz gold bar and a 100oz silver bar. I continued to add to my stack until last year. I have decided I don’t care much for silver. It’s heavy, takes up a lot of space and it’s difficult to take with you quickly in the event your home starts on fire or something. I would prefer having all gold. Either way, I probably stare at my stack in awe roughly once a month. Too me, it’s like a dream I always had as a kid of finding treasure and it’s just bloody cool knowing it’s real!
Solid advice. I wish I still had all my guns, ammo, gold, and silver. I really didn't know other people other than me lost their stuff in a boating accident. I can't wait to tell my wife I am not the only one with bad luck.
I'm like you, i tought i was the only person in life who lost allllll their stack in a boating accident. Maybe we should start up a group for us stackers who lost it all. This may help us get over our loss.
Hi - My name is Bob and I am a stackaholic. I have been stacking for 850 ounces. I have tried to stop, but I keep falling back in to the shiny. That is all....Carry On.
Wow, what a coincidence: I used to own firearms and ammunition and lost everything in a boating accident too! Sadly, they are all at the bottom of a deep lake. I'm still not over it emotionally.
I generally try to buy between 3 to 6 oz of silver a month that's all I can afford right now. So generally I'll buy three or four Canadian maples but I'm hoping to move at some point to at least five Oz bar every month for a little while.. I want to try to get at least 150 Oz of silver and right now I think I have about 60 oz but I have about 90% of slabbed coins. So even though I don't have 150 Oz those alone are worth probably more than a 10oz bar. I have stopped with the slabbed and focused in just stacking silver bullion.
I just found this post. I enjoyed it and very valid points. I liked the fact that if you only have one ounce of silver, your a❤head of most. Keep it up !!
How much Silver or Gold you should own depends entirely upon its purpose. If it's simply a savings account, then you can just pick a minimum number. Maybe that number is $1,000, since that's the common number people give for a basic emergency fund. In that case, you're probably looking at 35 to 40 ounces of Silver and or maybe a 1/2 ounce of Gold. If it's more than that, and you'd like your Silver or Gold to get you through a more significant circumstance like a job loss, a loss of insurance, a car replacement, or a major home repair, then you're going to want to think in terms of the cost of these kinds of things. I'd say that in most cases, you can just 10X the emergency fund, which would mean that you'd minimally want 350 to 400 ounces of Silver or up to maybe 5 ounces of Gold. That amount of Silver or Gold would generally pay for any of those items for a significant period of time. However, if you have longer-term concerns that might have to do with a disappearing retirement fund, a currency crisis, a long-term banking crisis, a long-term job loss, or an extended grid-down or SHTF scenario that was nation-wide, then I think you can either 10X the previous number, of you can determine that you want something like 10 years worth of total living expenses in Silver, Gold, or both. So that's 3,500 to 4,000 ounces of Silver and 50 ounces of Gold using the 10X model, or you're probably looking at 18,000 to 20,000 ounces of Silver and 240 to 250 ounces of Gold, if you're looking to have enough stored purchasing power to maintain something akin to your current standard of living for a 10 year period. It's not rocket science, but often we aren't used to thinking in terms of ounces, and we continue to think in $ terms, which makes it far more difficult to come up with an actual number. The number I've suggested may seem impossible or overwhelming, but I assure you that they are not. Simply dollar-cost-average, and whatever you do, be consistent. Give yourself 50, 100, 200, or 500 dollars a month, whatever is affordable for you in the long-term. Then divide that number into 2 halves. With the first half, buy Silver each month. With the second half, put that away until you have enough to buy a 1/10, 1/4, or a 1/2 ounce 22k Gold coin of some kind...either an American Gold Eagle or a South African Krugerrand. Just continue to do that for as long as you possibly can. The other thing you can and should do is learn to use cash for all the purchases that you can. Save your change, and turn that change either into more Silver & Gold, or use that money to build a cash reserve outside of any banking system that you hold personally in a safe place. Try to build that extra cash up to 3 to 6 months worth of living expenses, and then the rest should be put into Gold & Silver. The best time to start anything that you're late to the party on is RIGHT NOW, so just get started and don't stop. Slow & steady wins the race on these things most often.
You're numbers on gold and silver are incorrect if something like a banking/currancy crisis. In this senario the value of gold and silver increases dramatically so you dont need anywhere near 20k ounces of silver and 250 ounces of gold. In countries/times where the fiat currancy collapses, 1oz of silver and 1oz of gold goes long way. Obviously the more the better, but 500oz of silver and 10oz of gold is all you need.
This is a great topic that should be revisited many times during the year under different scenarios like according to the persons lifestyle of income or no debt or the amount of money they have extra per month and then do brand new formulas, and new videos with this information… Great video
Thanks brother! Yeah it’s all based on your current situation like you said. Some people can accomplish this goal in less than a year and others it might take longer
I've been seriously stacking silver for about 4 years, right around when Covid started. What led me down the path, was things that were happening and how the govt started handing out stimi checks like candy to everybody and their momma I knew eventually inflation would get worse. I had been collecting ASEs since 1986, so I have every year ASE since then. I always knew silver had intrinsic value beyond its face value. This is why I stack, I don't trust the banks or financial industry, I know inflation will get worse............so this is my alternative savings account. How much should you have, well...........as much as you can afford each paycheck and just keep stacking. People want an arbitrary number of How Much, but I will never stop stacking until I can no longer stack anymore, when no amount of fiat dollars can purchase any amount of precious metals, is when I will stop.
I also started really stacking in 2019 and can't even remembwr why I started but at some point we do have to sell to be able to buy land ir whatever right?
New sub here from a YT recommended video. I completely agree, not only is everyone at a different stacking level, but at a different financial level. Diversity is important. Yes, you don't want to have 100 ozs in one bar. Having sovereign, generic, 90% foreign junk silver, ECT. My first purchase was 10 one oz buffalo generic rounds in early 2020. Got them for $170 I then recently looked at those same 10 ozs were selling on JM Bullion for $260+....100 oz is definitely a great starting point and goal to attain. No matter how long it takes. It's not a competition. Slow and steady
Contrarian here. Buddy, it IS a competition. We are running out of time as banks are cornering the gold supply and Singapore the silver supply. Every working citizen should be collecting enough to fill a pocket or two. I'd rather have 150 million Americans with 20 ounces than 5 million with 3000 ounces. It is a numbers game, people, and there is a heck of a lot more of us than them.
Started stacking in 2018 as I had been watching the metal markets for years. Silver was $14.00 and gold was $1,190.00. My first purchase was 1,000 ounces of silver and 20 ounces of gold in an IRA. Been going ever since as many people discover there is not much point in stopping. Listen to all and follow NONE !!
Stateside... great content! Your right it's not a race to stack... I sometimes feel like I'm falling behind with all this market excitement. But, I am at a very nice place with silver, gold, platinum, exotic cars, real estate... Not trying to gloat but just trying to share that good decisions and patience is key. First get yourself out of debt (credit card, don't buy a shit car you don't want and take on a car note, pay your house off first) I still pick up pennies on the floor at gas stations that the homeless throw away! Buy what you can after your responsibilities, even if it's just junk silver from your LCS. As prices fluctuate, hey it's life. I bought 12 oz of gold in 2007 for $700 each, I thought I made a mistake, it was so much money, at that time. Now I wish I could do that... In 20 years, we will wish we can buy an oz of gold for $2400... That's just everything in life. Remember we all start at the beginning... We will never have enough!!!
Great topic. You have to consider what you're preparing for in the future, find your budget and try to be consistent. In time you will acquire what you need. I sleep much better adding even a little each month.
Somewhere in the garage with my old jeweler's stuff I've got a bit over 10lbs of silver I bought during mid 80's, so call it 120 oz. of silver more or less. I suppose I paid somewhere in the range of $6 to $8 an ounce for it, it was well after the crazy times with the Hunt brothers. I didn't mean to keep it - I put myself through school making and selling jewelry and when I was done with school I just never got around to selling it. I have no desire to add any more to it though, it's not exactly been a great investment being worth about $4K today.
I still don’t know what I want to stack lol. My stack has a little bit of everything. I focus on one thing I really like for a while then I change my mind and stack something else. I have unfortunately lost it all in a boating accident recently. Will have to try to acquire more.
My problem is every time I think i reach my goal i up it to a new level. I dont consentrate on one type of silver, 10 oz. bars are my biggest size but more in eagles some maple leafs, Britannica's, Buffalo's and even 1 oz bars. 5 ozs more and my goal is reached this time around and then pick up some more gold. Kind of addicted to it, but not sad to say it.
I started in 2020 with a tube of 20 Buffalo rounds. From there I bought some eagles, maple leafs, kangaroos, philharmonics, etc, basically whatever was on sale. I moved on to constitutional & 10 oz bars, but lately have been just picking up mostly Morgan dollars, trying to get one from every year. Getting a new coin I’ve never seen before is always fun!
Im old and always stacked silver as a savings account. Never believed in debt other than a mortgage. It has served me well and helps me sleep well. My dollar cost average is pretty low. Silver is the most suppressed metal in my opinion. Its still very cheap and one should do very well over the next few decades. Dont go into debt investing into anything would be my only advice and dont overextend oneself. If your forced to sell at the wrong time could be a bad deal.
Good video. Very informative. I haven’t purchased silver in a while. But I have about 225-250 ounces. Some Eagles, but mostly Sunshine rounds/bars. Thinking about taking the plunge again and adding to my position. If I double it then I’m around 500 ounces.
Hang onto the Barbados Tridents !! The ones with the pineapple privy are extremely limited from Scottsdale Mint. The 2018 Barbados Trident with the privy has a worlwide limit of only 5000!!!
I started a year ago and let’s just say I’ve put most of my money into silver. Some would say that’s really dumb but the way everything has been going lately with the dollar has me very concerned. Gold is also at an all time high. Silver feels so undervalued to me. I bought a few ounces of gold over the last year too when it was closer to $2000 an ounce but I pumped the brakes on gold for a bit. I’ve also been stacking prep items like food water alcohol and other barter items. Almost at 3500 ounces but unfortunately some Fed Boi crashed into my boat 🙄
Haha those dang fed boys! You can never prepare enough, even when your family is involved it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it
I had 2 100 ounce bars I bought them when I had extra money just not at the same time. but I sold them when my car was totaled. and I needed the money. silver was at a high price when I sold them.
If the shtf happens and everyone’s trying to sell silver, how much will it be worth? Better to have some different things to trade with like ammo and food.
What a fantastic video and practical advice! I'm a silver stacker from India and i feel good knowing that my stack is growing at a healthy pace. I better not drop my stack at the bottom of the Indian Ocean 😢
I find I am addicted to 10oz silver bars, I just started stacking two months ago and I have 80oz. I am going to slow down and focus on constitutional silver. For me Kilo or 100 oz bar is too much. The American Eagles are too expensive I do want old silver.
The main worry I have is that military uses so much more silver than any other sector... And the government could declare it illegal to own and sell due to national security. All countries might do the same. They say no much is recycled and makes it much more rare compared to gold
@@StatesideStash yah I don't think they will confiscate, they will take it when you try to use it as money in places... Maybe have a bounty out out by government or something
Even though I have been collecting since the mid-70s, I never heard the term I lost my silver in a boating accident. I hope someone that gets this comment will inform me I have never had a boating accident and I don’t know in a boat but I have been collecting Constitutional silver since the early 70s And started with silver eagles in 88. Thank you and please let me know what a boating accident is.
Nothing wrong with American Buffalo rounds Cheap, widely recognized round and Silver is silver. I never really look at it again after an unboxing inspection so variety doesn’t matter too much to me.
They say 1 year worth of your salary. Then it's up to you. The reason for that is to pay normal expenses if SHTF. Our if goal is to past it down it's really up to you. Set small goals to reach that big goal.
Wrong about waiting until you are debt free. My mortgage rate has a lower interest rate than the annual appreciation of silver over on average. Also when it booms you miss the ride too late but if your debt is hurting you can always part with a little silver. Now if it was a fishing boat or sports car I’d say yea never go in debt for that.
Mortgage is different than other debt like credit cards. I have multiple property’s and I’m constantly buying silver and gold. I see what you’re saying but I wasn’t referring to mortgage debt
Mortgage is a housing expense, not like paying off dinner from last summer on your credit card. It doesn't count as debt to keep one from stacking. Also, if you are buried in debt, don't wait, just buy walking liberty or ounce on a schedule. It changes how you think.
8:10, one caveat as far as paying off debt first. Pay YOURSELF first. Take the maximum amount you can and pay yourself 10% of your net pay and buy metals. If your budget is too tight for that, set you goal of buying $1 face value of 90% Constitutional Silver coins (dime, quarters, half dollars). The money set aside is not a Christmas fund or new tires fund. It is your sacred money to use when you get older, or have a true emergency. Consider this money untouchable so do not over do it. BUT PAY YOURSELVES FIRST. Banks will bail-in your money, bankers bankrupt the bank and get golden parachute and are rescued by Congress, illegally I might add.
I stacked silver dollars for many years, now I only stack 90% silver dimes. My logic is when SHTF those that inherit my silver will have it easier for bartering with the farmer down the road for a bushel of corn and a bunch of carrots with smaller coins.
What if you don’t know about the boat thing? 😅 is it sort of like saying what you’ve got, while having deniability because you said you don’t have it anymore?
I bet if others get past 100 they may look forward to 500 for the monster box, then 1000 and I bet when people reach 2000 they probably still wonder if that’s enough and keep buying… then they never really know how much they should have
I haven't even been keeping track of how many ounces I have. I'm just buying as much as I can without taking away from my other financial goals. All I know for now is I plan to buy around $25,000 -$35,000 worth of silver. Once I meet this goal, I plan to buy maybe $5,000-$10,000 worth of gold.
Great vid! My interests and passions with metals tend to change often, but that's what keeps me motivated. Always something new to learn and fun treasures to hunt down :)
I am curious about why you did not mention Constitutional Silver (Quarters, Dimes and even half-dollars) containing silver. For those with tight budgets, buying a small quantity of these has the same effect as buying one-ounce rounds but with a lower outlay. Obviously, people need to educate themselves because they are way too many people who will overcharge people for this type of silver. I feel that the education you get is worth the time so you don’t get taken advantage of. If you are wanting to do business like this online SDbullion is one of the reputable companies that offer a wide variety of products that meet your criteria. Thank you for posting this video.
Dean this is a great topic! I wanted to cover a video just in minimal amount owned but I have several videos on constitutional silver and how it’s a great option for a budget and less expensive silver. Thank you for watching!
Traditionally gold is used to make large purchases like real estate, slaves, etc while silver was what people were paid with as in daily wage. Daily living and purchases were done with either copper, brass or bronze. 1 toz gold == 20 toz silver == 200 toz copper then keep in mind the buying power (BP). USD == BP 3 cent therefore the dollar has little to no BP while 1toz silver can buy 10-11 loaves bread and gold much more.
Finally a channel where they show who they and Yes I understand it is cause of safety issues, but I like to see what the person behind the screen looks like IMO Keep on stscking Silver!
Well I agree with most of what you said, but I subscribe to the notion that if you don't have 6 months of monthly bills is cash, you shouldn't be buying precious metal until you have that amount available.
@StatesideStash thanks man. Its been tough. Over the last 9 years, I've saved....well, lbs of silver. Been trying to buy a house in Canada, but can't save fast enough. Silver seems to have been the smart horse to bet on within my means. It's cool to look at even. I mean, before bringing it paragliding over that volcano and losing it...damn mordor
But also keep this in the forefront of your mind.Stack as much gold and silver that you can.If silver and gold are rising,it means products are also rising.If silver reaches 50.00 per ounce.Just imagine the cost of a loaf of bread,milk,eggs.Buy your silver, and gold as much as you can,while goods are cheeper.Brcause goods are going to rise and then explode.I soen any money after i pay my bills then use cash only to purchase from my local coin shop.
I had reached 1000 ounces silver, but had to cash in 300 ounces for car repairs🤮 Haven't replaced them yet, purchased 3000 XRP crypto currency, and been prepping one year of foods and supplies etc for a well balanced investment strategy.
I spent way to mich money on Gradded coins. I have well over 100 of them. Im realizing they arnt as liquid as raw coins or bullion. Im hopeing my family can sell them. Any suggestions how to easily transfer them into gold and silver?
Agree 100% A bunch of generic 10 oz bars and tubes of ASEs (if premiums skyrocket) to turn into some cheaper gold when the time is right. I like the ratio AND premium possibilities..
@@jamesitsines6890 take advantage of the opportunities to buy silver at spot to stockpile for the swap to gold when the ratio is low. Here in Canada we can get silver bars for spot often enough. Not sure how it works in the states but I assume if you shop around a bit and have some patience it probably alot the same. Let me know
You should continue your research. Silver is by far a better purchase than gold. If you're telling people about the agr. Why would you buy gold at a ratio of 85:1?
When you say 100 oz, you mean a week? LOL Seriously, I had this conversation before, and my answer to this question is: If you bought a bitcoin at $30....would it be helpful now? BTC is the result of FOMO. That FOMO will hit metals. When it does, who knows where it could go? Cause ask yourself, who predicted BTC at $68K? Sooo, who can predict Silver won't get to stratospheric heights? I'm not saying $68K, but I am saying it will hit values we didn't think possible!!! Remember, it's NOT the price of metals going up. It's the purchasing power of your dollar going down. Here's a prediction, before long we'll hear people b1tching about not having bought more when it was cheap!! Got Silver? Cheers
It's also nice to collect, collectable coins. Like Morgans and seated liberty. I also collect silver coins from war periods like civil war and WWII coins.
@@StatesideStash I used to collect Morgans. But I have seated liberty half dollars down to the 1/2 dime. So I'm all over the place. Today I mostly buy bullion coins.
Hey sage! Welcome to the show, thanks for subscribing. You’ll get all sorts of answers when it comes to that question. For me it’s when you have two years of bills worth set aside and silver incase something happens
While collecting silver to stack, I also love buying novelty silver like a 5 gram Sasquatch, some 1 gram poop emoji, etc to keep it fun. I don’t buy them often as the premium is much higher.
I'm new here so guess I'll comment. I started with 100oz goal then 500 and 800. Lately I've been getting 90% Dimes for $2.10 or so. So I get 14 for less than 1oz eagle. Equally the same silver and both American. Plus u get 14 Dimes. Just my opinion at what I'm doing this moment and It changes
Remember that you may want a lot outside the system. I live in Canada and saw what they did to truckers and people who supported them I know several people who gave $20 and lost access to their bank accounts.
I need to see an episode about some of these boating stories … how does 1 simply find themselves on a boat loaded with gold silver & guns & ammo? … is there a pirates of the Caribbean milsim happening or something ?
Haha it’s something g@n owners and precious metal owners joke about. When the government comes to take your stuff you reply with “sorry I lost everything in a boating accident”
Hello. I think the amount you should own depends on what you plan on doing with your precious metals. If retirement, maybe w specific figure or pass onto family then possibly no end in sight. To me personally 100 oz in silver puts you in the top 20% and on a side note, silver is so heavy and takes up space. Gold is something good to transition into. Take care. 😂
every time i want to but more the price goes up. then i wait for it to go down then it goes up more. timing is never a good thing. i got 306oz over the last 11 years. i like buying the kooks since they always gain value over the years.
Be VERY VERY VERY careful buying from pawnshops. Majority of the time they are extremely overpriced. Best places are local coin shops or online bullion dealers like SD bullion
100oz goal but at first but the goal keeps increasing when its reached. 5000oz ultimate goal but sadly my boat that i stored my stack sank into the ocean due to the weight
I didn’t have much money to buy gold/silver until my dad passed away and I got an inheritance in 2018. The first 2 things I did was to pay off my mortgage, and then buy $75,000 worth of gold and silver. It’s worth a lot more now….😉👍🏻👍🏻
Sorry to hear about your father. Congrats on your purchases. Paying off the mortgage was a smart move!
For peoples FUTURE:
Having PHYSICAL gold or silver WILL help you during hyperinflation.
If you have a mortgage or ANY locked in payment contract, gold/silver will help you. As hyperinflation starts the value of 1 ounce of gold or silver WILL rise also. So lets say the gold price goes to $800,000.00 an ounce and silver goes to $70,000.00 an ounce and your bank wants payment of the $400,000.00 balance NOW, you simply give them 1/2 ounce of gold or 6 ounces of silver.
This ONLY works with LOCKED in, NOT variable, contracts.
And you can buy farms, houses, vehicles, plazas...as long as those are LOCKED in prices because variable rates would be hard to catch up with (there will be many whose loans will be called in so ya can arrange to buy them and have them as tenants or not).
Hopefully the above makes cents (sense ).
Smart move. Your dad would approve!!
Make sure you save enough silver so you can pay the taxes!!!! after money falls apart if it does.
Gosh , imagine if you had out that 75 k I to a mutual fund that tracked the snp 500. You would be set for life. But hey, you got some metal
I started stacking in 2020. I sold my pickup and needed to do something with the money before I spent it. I bought a 5oz gold bar and a 100oz silver bar. I continued to add to my stack until last year. I have decided I don’t care much for silver. It’s heavy, takes up a lot of space and it’s difficult to take with you quickly in the event your home starts on fire or something. I would prefer having all gold. Either way, I probably stare at my stack in awe roughly once a month. Too me, it’s like a dream I always had as a kid of finding treasure and it’s just bloody cool knowing it’s real!
Congrats on how far you’ve come with your stack. I love gold and it’s condensed wealth
Stacking silver is addictive you can’t stop at 100
Not telling anyone to stop. Just saying that 100oz is a solid minimum amount
Factolla
lol so true. My original goal was 150 ounces...last I checked I was up to 400
Cant stop wont stop !
Sacking a couple of collectible pieces keeps it fun and interesting
Solid advice. I wish I still had all my guns, ammo, gold, and silver. I really didn't know other people other than me lost their stuff in a boating accident. I can't wait to tell my wife I am not the only one with bad luck.
I'm like you, i tought i was the only person in life who lost allllll their stack in a boating accident. Maybe we should start up a group for us stackers who lost it all. This may help us get over our loss.
It’s so crazy! It’s almost as if we were all on the same boat!
I am pretty sure there is a nationwide epidemic of boat/canoe accidents
Eagles /morgans.
Hi - My name is Bob and I am a stackaholic. I have been stacking for 850 ounces. I have tried to stop, but I keep falling back in to the shiny.
That is all....Carry On.

Hey Bob! we are here for emotional or stacking support 😆
Started stacking in 2021. My first goal was 20ozs. Now I sit on 500+ oz of silver 2+ oz gold. It's very addictive
Wow, what a coincidence: I used to own firearms and ammunition and lost everything in a boating accident too! Sadly, they are all at the bottom of a deep lake. I'm still not over it emotionally.
Haha hey I think I was on that boat with you!

I lost mine in a bizarre gardening accident. The authorities told me it was best to leave it unsolved.

My condolences 💐🌊
NEVER NEVER EVER TALK ABOUT YOUR STACK.......JACK !!!! SILVER & GOLD...🤩🤩 RUN BABY RUN 🤩🤩
I generally try to buy between 3 to 6 oz of silver a month that's all I can afford right now. So generally I'll buy three or four Canadian maples but I'm hoping to move at some point to at least five Oz bar every month for a little while..
I want to try to get at least 150 Oz of silver and right now I think I have about 60 oz but I have about 90% of slabbed coins. So even though I don't have 150 Oz those alone are worth probably more than a 10oz bar. I have stopped with the slabbed and focused in just stacking silver bullion.
You’re doing well brother! Slow and steady wins the race
I just found this post. I enjoyed it and very valid points. I liked the fact that if you only have one ounce of silver, your a❤head of most. Keep it up !!
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
How much Silver or Gold you should own depends entirely upon its purpose. If it's simply a savings account, then you can just pick a minimum number. Maybe that number is $1,000, since that's the common number people give for a basic emergency fund. In that case, you're probably looking at 35 to 40 ounces of Silver and or maybe a 1/2 ounce of Gold. If it's more than that, and you'd like your Silver or Gold to get you through a more significant circumstance like a job loss, a loss of insurance, a car replacement, or a major home repair, then you're going to want to think in terms of the cost of these kinds of things. I'd say that in most cases, you can just 10X the emergency fund, which would mean that you'd minimally want 350 to 400 ounces of Silver or up to maybe 5 ounces of Gold. That amount of Silver or Gold would generally pay for any of those items for a significant period of time. However, if you have longer-term concerns that might have to do with a disappearing retirement fund, a currency crisis, a long-term banking crisis, a long-term job loss, or an extended grid-down or SHTF scenario that was nation-wide, then I think you can either 10X the previous number, of you can determine that you want something like 10 years worth of total living expenses in Silver, Gold, or both. So that's 3,500 to 4,000 ounces of Silver and 50 ounces of Gold using the 10X model, or you're probably looking at 18,000 to 20,000 ounces of Silver and 240 to 250 ounces of Gold, if you're looking to have enough stored purchasing power to maintain something akin to your current standard of living for a 10 year period. It's not rocket science, but often we aren't used to thinking in terms of ounces, and we continue to think in $ terms, which makes it far more difficult to come up with an actual number. The number I've suggested may seem impossible or overwhelming, but I assure you that they are not. Simply dollar-cost-average, and whatever you do, be consistent. Give yourself 50, 100, 200, or 500 dollars a month, whatever is affordable for you in the long-term. Then divide that number into 2 halves. With the first half, buy Silver each month. With the second half, put that away until you have enough to buy a 1/10, 1/4, or a 1/2 ounce 22k Gold coin of some kind...either an American Gold Eagle or a South African Krugerrand. Just continue to do that for as long as you possibly can. The other thing you can and should do is learn to use cash for all the purchases that you can. Save your change, and turn that change either into more Silver & Gold, or use that money to build a cash reserve outside of any banking system that you hold personally in a safe place. Try to build that extra cash up to 3 to 6 months worth of living expenses, and then the rest should be put into Gold & Silver. The best time to start anything that you're late to the party on is RIGHT NOW, so just get started and don't stop. Slow & steady wins the race on these things most often.
Come on man you can’t be making me read all that this early in the morning 🤣 well said though
Well said. Good read.
You're numbers on gold and silver are incorrect if something like a banking/currancy crisis. In this senario the value of gold and silver increases dramatically so you dont need anywhere near 20k ounces of silver and 250 ounces of gold. In countries/times where the fiat currancy collapses, 1oz of silver and 1oz of gold goes long way.
Obviously the more the better, but 500oz of silver and 10oz of gold is all you need.
Great read. Thanks for your time
@@patriotares thanks for watching Tim!
The best part about collecting is there really is no amount too small or too large to start off with! #staystacking

This is a great topic that should be revisited many times during the year under different scenarios like according to the persons lifestyle of income or no debt or the amount of money they have extra per month and then do brand new formulas, and new videos with this information… Great video
Thanks brother! Yeah it’s all based on your current situation like you said. Some people can accomplish this goal in less than a year and others it might take longer
Silver collecting is an addiction. How much is enough? - Just a little bit more.
Always a little bit more 😉
You can Never have enough!
I can stop whenever I want. I just don't want to.
@@Ruth--Butler said every addict ever 🤣
I don’t stack anymore… I don’t stack anyless either
I've been seriously stacking silver for about 4 years, right around when Covid started. What led me down the path, was things that were happening and how the govt started handing out stimi checks like candy to everybody and their momma I knew eventually inflation would get worse. I had been collecting ASEs since 1986, so I have every year ASE since then. I always knew silver had intrinsic value beyond its face value. This is why I stack, I don't trust the banks or financial industry, I know inflation will get worse............so this is my alternative savings account. How much should you have, well...........as much as you can afford each paycheck and just keep stacking. People want an arbitrary number of How Much, but I will never stop stacking until I can no longer stack anymore, when no amount of fiat dollars can purchase any amount of precious metals, is when I will stop.
Well said man. I totally agree
I've started stacking a lot of Constitutional silver lately. I hope to be able to buy 1oz rounds/bars in huge quantities in the next year or so.
I also started really stacking in 2019 and can't even remembwr why I started but at some point we do have to sell to be able to buy land ir whatever right?
@@CptInsano835 I'll sell in retirement if the USD or some other currency is still around.

Boating accidents and loss of silver is very common!

@@bradeveland674 exactly 🤣
New sub here from a YT recommended video. I completely agree, not only is everyone at a different stacking level, but at a different financial level. Diversity is important. Yes, you don't want to have 100 ozs in one bar. Having sovereign, generic, 90% foreign junk silver, ECT. My first purchase was 10 one oz buffalo generic rounds in early 2020. Got them for $170 I then recently looked at those same 10 ozs were selling on JM Bullion for $260+....100 oz is definitely a great starting point and goal to attain. No matter how long it takes. It's not a competition. Slow and steady
Thanks for joining jimmy! That’s nice increase on your bar! Hope to hear more from you down the road
I agree. 100oz is a great starting goal. You learn a lot. Long-term stackers have more interesting items vs. a quick modern buyer.
Sometimes it takes up to 100oz to learn what you love. Thought it was a solid number
Contrarian here. Buddy, it IS a competition. We are running out of time as banks are cornering the gold supply and Singapore the silver supply. Every working citizen should be collecting enough to fill a pocket or two. I'd rather have 150 million Americans with 20 ounces than 5 million with 3000 ounces. It is a numbers game, people, and there is a heck of a lot more of us than them.
A competition between the people and the government is different between a completion between a fellow stacker
Why Singapore?
@@paulandrewmccarthy2133 a lot to say. You’ll have to Google that one
Well said. My buying tastes changed a few times, and may change again later. But no regrets on any purchase.
Takes a few ounces to find out what you love
Started stacking in 2018 as I had been watching the metal markets for years. Silver was $14.00 and gold was $1,190.00.
My first purchase was 1,000 ounces of silver and 20 ounces of gold in an IRA. Been going ever since as many people discover there is not much point in stopping.
Listen to all and follow NONE !!
There was a time when i couldnt stack for a couple years. Then there was times i only bought a few at a time just to stay in the game.
Buy what ya can when you can but never put yourself in a hard position
Work in progress
Stateside... great content! Your right it's not a race to stack... I sometimes feel like I'm falling behind with all this market excitement. But, I am at a very nice place with silver, gold, platinum, exotic cars, real estate... Not trying to gloat but just trying to share that good decisions and patience is key. First get yourself out of debt (credit card, don't buy a shit car you don't want and take on a car note, pay your house off first) I still pick up pennies on the floor at gas stations that the homeless throw away! Buy what you can after your responsibilities, even if it's just junk silver from your LCS.
As prices fluctuate, hey it's life. I bought 12 oz of gold in 2007 for $700 each, I thought I made a mistake, it was so much money, at that time. Now I wish I could do that... In 20 years, we will wish we can buy an oz of gold for $2400... That's just everything in life. Remember we all start at the beginning...
We will never have enough!!!
Well said George! Slow and steady wins the race. Gotta stack at your own pace
Great topic. You have to consider what you're preparing for in the future, find your budget and try to be consistent. In time you will acquire what you need. I sleep much better adding even a little each month.
Absolutely! Slow and steady wins the race!
Great video man! very practical breakdown of a great down to earth simplification on why to stack. You just earned a new subscriber.
Beyond excited to have you here! Hope to hear more from you down the road.
Good and well-reasoned advice, Stateside. And no, I would never mistake you for a Fedboy! Keep up the good work.
Hahaha well I’m glad I’m not a Fedboy
Somewhere in the garage with my old jeweler's stuff I've got a bit over 10lbs of silver I bought during mid 80's, so call it 120 oz. of silver more or less. I suppose I paid somewhere in the range of $6 to $8 an ounce for it, it was well after the crazy times with the Hunt brothers. I didn't mean to keep it - I put myself through school making and selling jewelry and when I was done with school I just never got around to selling it. I have no desire to add any more to it though, it's not exactly been a great investment being worth about $4K today.
I still don’t know what I want to stack lol. My stack has a little bit of everything. I focus on one thing I really like for a while then I change my mind and stack something else. I have unfortunately lost it all in a boating accident recently. Will have to try to acquire more.
Think we were on the same boat!
Glad to see another good channel
Thank you
Thank you Gus! Hope you continue to enjoy the videos down the road
Excellent video. Thank you for the content.
Thanks David! Always a pleasure to hear from you
My problem is every time I think i reach my goal i up it to a new level. I dont consentrate on one type of silver, 10 oz. bars are my biggest size but more in eagles some maple leafs, Britannica's, Buffalo's and even 1 oz bars. 5 ozs more and my goal is reached this time around and then pick up some more gold. Kind of addicted to it, but not sad to say it.
Nothing wrong with setting new goals!
Just one 90% silver dime can still buy you two Hershey's bars just like they did back in 1964.
Hedge against inflation!
I have a vivid memory of buying Baby Ruth bar with a nickel, I think that was about 62 or 64.
But what cashier will take that dime ?
@@jcyork1767 All of them will take it, for exactly $0.10 :D
That is why silver was removed from our coinage, keeps up with inflation pretty good. Bet that's why JFK was whacked in 1963
I started in 2020 with a tube of 20 Buffalo rounds. From there I bought some eagles, maple leafs, kangaroos, philharmonics, etc, basically whatever was on sale. I moved on to constitutional & 10 oz bars, but lately have been just picking up mostly Morgan dollars, trying to get one from every year. Getting a new coin I’ve never seen before is always fun!
I’m in love Morgan dollar! Best of luck on your journey buying every year, that should keep you busy for a little while!
So many different “STACKING AVENUES” one can travel in this beautiful world 🌍 of GOLD and SILVER!
Dollar cost averaging allows you to buy over time a small amount as the price goes up and down. This is a safe way to buy, long term.
Great video buddy. Hit a lot of good points
Thank you dean!
Im old and always stacked silver as a savings account. Never believed in debt other than a mortgage. It has served me well and helps me sleep well. My dollar cost average is pretty low. Silver is the most suppressed metal in my opinion. Its still very cheap and one should do very well over the next few decades. Dont go into debt investing into anything would be my only advice and dont overextend oneself. If your forced to sell at the wrong time could be a bad deal.
Well said, I also believe it’s being suppressed and should be higher than it really is
if you don't know how to use debt, (other people's money) , you can't get wealthy
Good video. Very informative. I haven’t purchased silver in a while. But I have about 225-250 ounces. Some Eagles, but mostly Sunshine rounds/bars.
Thinking about taking the plunge again and adding to my position.
If I double it then I’m around 500 ounces.
Sounds like you have a nice stack! Add slowly and see if you wanna get back into it
Keep prepping and Keep on Stacking SMARTLY...
Agreed!
Hang onto the Barbados Tridents !! The ones with the pineapple privy are extremely limited from Scottsdale Mint. The 2018 Barbados Trident with the privy has a worlwide limit of only 5000!!!
Oh I plan on holding onto them!
I started a year ago and let’s just say I’ve put most of my money into silver. Some would say that’s really dumb but the way everything has been going lately with the dollar has me very concerned. Gold is also at an all time high. Silver feels so undervalued to me. I bought a few ounces of gold over the last year too when it was closer to $2000 an ounce but I pumped the brakes on gold for a bit. I’ve also been stacking prep items like food water alcohol and other barter items. Almost at 3500 ounces but unfortunately some Fed Boi crashed into my boat 🙄
Haha those dang fed boys! You can never prepare enough, even when your family is involved it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it

Thank you Antony. I try and be open and upfront in my videos. No use in me making clickbait and not answering the question
I had 2 100 ounce bars I bought them when I had extra money just not at the same time. but I sold them when my car was totaled. and I needed the money. silver was at a high price when I sold them.
That’s why we own it to sell in a time of need! I’m glad it came in handy for you!
In my silver stacking experience, I learned to stack only what I like.
That’s what it’s all about brotha!
I unfortunately, like it all.
Always, silver stacking is very subjective, bullion for some, rare coins for others. Prefer a mix myself
If the shtf happens and everyone’s trying to sell silver, how much will it be worth? Better to have some different things to trade with like ammo and food.
What ever is on sale and how much cash I have to buy. The only thing is I don’t collect junk silver, I figure I can get change for 1oz eagle later.😊
No junk silver 😮
What a fantastic video and practical advice! I'm a silver stacker from India and i feel good knowing that my stack is growing at a healthy pace. I better not drop my stack at the bottom of the Indian Ocean 😢
That’s a big ocean! You’ll never find it!
You have monkeys over there that steal shiny things, no doubt they can easily clean out your stack.
I find I am addicted to 10oz silver bars, I just started stacking two months ago and I have 80oz. I am going to slow down and focus on constitutional silver. For me Kilo or 100 oz bar is too much. The American Eagles are too expensive I do want old silver.
10oz bars are great! Constitutional silver is also great 😉

The main worry I have is that military uses so much more silver than any other sector... And the government could declare it illegal to own and sell due to national security. All countries might do the same. They say no much is recycled and makes it much more rare compared to gold

I hope someone that gets this comment will inform me I have never had a boating accident and I don’t know in a boat but I have been collecting Constitutional silver since the early 70s And started with silver eagles in 88. Thank you and please let me know what a boating accident is.
It’s just a joke for when the government comes knocking
Nothing wrong with American Buffalo rounds Cheap, widely recognized round and Silver is silver. I never really look at it again after an unboxing inspection so variety doesn’t matter too much to me.
Nope nothing wrong at all! You gotta stack what works for you and that’s all that matters
They say 1 year worth of your salary. Then it's up to you. The reason for that is to pay normal expenses if SHTF. Our if goal is to past it down it's really up to you. Set small goals to reach that big goal.
Wrong about waiting until you are debt free. My mortgage rate has a lower interest rate than the annual appreciation of silver over on average. Also when it booms you miss the ride too late but if your debt is hurting you can always part with a little silver. Now if it was a fishing boat or sports car I’d say yea never go in debt for that.
Mortgage is different than other debt like credit cards. I have multiple property’s and I’m constantly buying silver and gold. I see what you’re saying but I wasn’t referring to mortgage debt
Mortgage is a housing expense, not like paying off dinner from last summer on your credit card. It doesn't count as debt to keep one from stacking. Also, if you are buried in debt, don't wait, just buy walking liberty or ounce on a schedule. It changes how you think.
8:10, one caveat as far as paying off debt first. Pay YOURSELF first. Take the maximum amount you can and pay yourself 10% of your net pay and buy metals. If your budget is too tight for that, set you goal of buying $1 face value of 90% Constitutional Silver coins (dime, quarters, half dollars). The money set aside is not a Christmas fund or new tires fund. It is your sacred money to use when you get older, or have a true emergency. Consider this money untouchable so do not over do it. BUT PAY YOURSELVES FIRST. Banks will bail-in your money, bankers bankrupt the bank and get golden parachute and are rescued by Congress, illegally I might add.
This is some good advice, it’s always important to put yourself first sometimes
I stacked silver dollars for many years, now I only stack 90% silver dimes. My logic is when SHTF those that inherit my silver will have it easier for bartering with the farmer down the road for a bushel of corn and a bunch of carrots with smaller coins.
Dimes definitely are one of the favorites
What if you don’t know about the boat thing? 😅 is it sort of like saying what you’ve got, while having deniability because you said you don’t have it anymore?
Exactly
Constitutional, ASE, Maple leaf and Britannia. All coins of the realm, if i ever start stacking
I bet if others get past 100 they may look forward to 500 for the monster box, then 1000 and I bet when people reach 2000 they probably still wonder if that’s enough and keep buying… then they never really know how much they should have
It’s all adds up! But like you said I think once people see how much 100oz has changed their lives they just keep buying!
Its never enough !!!
You're right, once i hit 1000, I'm now looking to teach 2000 and I'm sure once i hit 3k, I'll want to keep going until i kick the bucket.
@@floridaironclad congrats on the stack! Keep it up!
@@floridaironclad i am past 10,500 and i literally just bought more friday!!! Lol. Some might call me obsessed
I just turned 30, ill be buying a few oz every check for the next 20 years, honestly wish i could of started my early 20s.
I haven't even been keeping track of how many ounces I have. I'm just buying as much as I can without taking away from my other financial goals. All I know for now is I plan to buy around $25,000 -$35,000 worth of silver. Once I meet this goal, I plan to buy maybe $5,000-$10,000 worth of gold.
That’s an outstanding goal to have. I’d personally which the numbers that are being spent on each but still a great goal

Constitutional ; coins of the realm... IMHO
I am curious about why you did not mention Constitutional Silver (Quarters, Dimes and even half-dollars) containing silver. For those with tight budgets, buying a small quantity of these has the same effect as buying one-ounce rounds but with a lower outlay. Obviously, people need to educate themselves because they are way too many people who will overcharge people for this type of silver. I feel that the education you get is worth the time so you don’t get taken advantage of. If you are wanting to do business like this online SDbullion is one of the reputable companies that offer a wide variety of products that meet your criteria. Thank you for posting this video.
Dean this is a great topic! I wanted to cover a video just in minimal amount owned but I have several videos on constitutional silver and how it’s a great option for a budget and less expensive silver. Thank you for watching!
Traditionally gold is used to make large purchases like real estate, slaves, etc while silver was what people were paid with as in daily wage. Daily living and purchases were done with either copper, brass or bronze. 1 toz gold == 20 toz silver == 200 toz copper then keep in mind the buying power (BP). USD == BP 3 cent therefore the dollar has little to no BP while 1toz silver can buy 10-11 loaves bread and gold much more.
This is why I stack both to cover all basis

Keep enough silver to take advantage of the gold/silver ratio if and when the opportunity knocks. Otherwise, own gold.
Exactly! That’s a vet move, didn’t wanna recommend it to new stackers
Agree 100% A bunch of generic 10 oz bars and tubes of ASEs (if premiums skyrocket) to turn into some cheaper gold when the time is right. I like the ratio AND premium possibilities..
@@jamesitsines6890 take advantage of the opportunities to buy silver at spot to stockpile for the swap to gold when the ratio is low. Here in Canada we can get silver bars for spot often enough. Not sure how it works in the states but I assume if you shop around a bit and have some patience it probably alot the same. Let me know
You should continue your research. Silver is by far a better purchase than gold. If you're telling people about the agr. Why would you buy gold at a ratio of 85:1?
When you say 100 oz, you mean a week? LOL Seriously, I had this conversation before, and my answer to this question is: If you bought a bitcoin at $30....would it be helpful now?
BTC is the result of FOMO. That FOMO will hit metals. When it does, who knows where it could go? Cause ask yourself, who predicted BTC at $68K? Sooo, who can predict Silver won't get to stratospheric heights? I'm not saying $68K, but I am saying it will hit values we didn't think possible!!! Remember, it's NOT the price of metals going up. It's the purchasing power of your dollar going down. Here's a prediction, before long we'll hear people b1tching about not having bought more when it was cheap!! Got Silver? Cheers

I need to see an episode about some of these boating stories … how does 1 simply find themselves on a boat loaded with gold silver & guns & ammo? … is there a pirates of the Caribbean milsim happening or something ?
Haha it’s something g@n owners and precious metal owners joke about. When the government comes to take your stuff you reply with “sorry I lost everything in a boating accident”
Hello. I think the amount you should own depends on what you plan on doing with your precious metals. If retirement, maybe w specific figure or pass onto family then possibly no end in sight. To me personally 100 oz in silver puts you in the top 20% and on a side note, silver is so heavy and takes up space. Gold is something good to transition into. Take care. 😂
I agree about the weight and takes up space. I stack gold pretty heavy as well
When are your loyal subscribers going to get a full stack video?
When can you make it to my house to take the day and help me lay everything out 🤣
every time i want to but more the price goes up. then i wait for it to go down then it goes up more. timing is never a good thing. i got 306oz over the last 11 years. i like buying the kooks since they always gain value over the years.
They have a nice low mintage as well! That’s why I buy monthly no matter the price and just dollar cost average
Great video 👍
Thank you Miguel!
So, where do most of you buy from? Local Pawn Shops? Online?
Be VERY VERY VERY careful buying from pawnshops. Majority of the time they are extremely overpriced.
Best places are local coin shops or online bullion dealers like SD bullion
100oz goal but at first but the goal keeps increasing when its reached. 5000oz ultimate goal but sadly my boat that i stored my stack sank into the ocean due to the weight
Haha those damn unreliable boats!
Boating accidents and divorce are very dangerous to ones stack. My ex hated my stacking habits.... until the divorce happened.
Divorce happens than all of a sudden they want everything
You should have combined the two and gone on some boating trips just before your divorce.
Great advice there mate. Thank you. Arty from Australia
Always great to hear from you!
