Minimum Amount of Silver You NEED to Own

To the newbies, keep in mind S&H costs if ordering online. SD Bullion is free for orders over $200 so it's best to buy at least 10 rounds. Also, watch out for high premiums. When I started in 2015, premiums were pennies over spot. Now you're looking at $4+ which is crazy high. Buy the best deal for the buck and just keep stackin.

It's good advice. I don't know that I would spend a lot of time referencing Dave Ramsey, since he's 100% against purchasing any Gold or Silver, but I get the point you were making. I do think 40 ounces is a good initial goal, especially if you're funds are pretty sparse. Increasingly, I think 3 to 6 months worth of living expenses is a minimum everyone should think about having in Silver, in Gold, and also in physical cash. Increasingly, I'm of the mind that people might want to start thinking about having multiple years worth of living expenses, specifically in Silver & Gold. I say this only because the plans that the elites have for our future are becoming a lot more clear, and it's pretty frightening. It's going to take a lot of cooperation with others and a stout heart to stay ahead of what's coming. Keep up the good work!

You're right. The plans to bankrupt middle class America are pure evil. A box of silver and a shotgun make a lot of sense.

Just did a count on my stack, and between junk, rounds, and bars, I'm at over 300 Ozt, excluding numismatics. I'm also fortunate to have my partner in the US (I'm Canadian), so I have a silver stack in both countries.

[@agamemnon112]

I'd say 40 ounces, then 100, 150, 200, and finally 300. At least that's what I'm doing. So far I'm at 118 Ozs. Goal for the end of the year is to get to 200 ounces. I'm relatively new though. I've only been doing this for about 3 months. But really the best thing to do is to go at your own pace and not overextend. For me, I keep $1500 in cash for emergencies that is put away and never touched. Whatever I have left over at the end of the month after bills and a little bit of recreation goes into stacking. I'm looking at it as more of a long-term savings account adding 10 or 20 ounces a month for the next 10 to 15 years.

[@sawyer3119]

At the moment, I do 500 bucks a check for silver/gold. I do scrap metal on the side for it but the price has gotten so low that lately I've been stacking and holding all the metal for when the price shoots back up to buy more in bulk. I love working with metal in general and have been way before I started stacking. But I went from 50oz being my goal, then 100, 200 and now I'm creeping towards 250. I'm shooting for 1000 now.

[@mysterybuyer3738]

I saved saved scrap metal all my life. It's a tough business that goes in cycles. I try to market my scrap to hobbyists and am thinking about melting to make bars. Those can be sold for many times the going price of the metals but the price of fuel for the melt needs to be factored in.

[@sawyer3119]

@@mysterybuyer3738 actually got a little smelter and started making my own bars there for a little bit. You definitely can find people on the internet that are willing to pay more than the yard will give you, but I'm having a little difficulty mastering the purification process. But I have shined some up and sold it for double, even poured melted brass onto solid spent shells to my fellow gun enthusiasts for cool lil paperweights. It's a hobby in itself in the end. I really want to get a digital one though like Silver Dragons has and melt down silver/gold. I've only done one sterling pour for an uneven ~1kg sterling. It was still awesome tho

[@mysterybuyer3738]

@@sawyer3119 very good. The name of the game is to branch out to different markets when prices get tough. I know why people pay more for poured bars being a silver and gold stacker myself. It's a store of value and something to hang onto for the future. The prices at the junkyards are simply a gauge of what they buy it for as they are just a middleman. The true values of metals are even way over quoted spot prices.

[@interpolagent9]

My side hustle was antique sewing machines. There is quite the market for the right item. I stashed my cash over a few years and put it all in to 100 oz of silver. Extra savings went in to more silver. Paid my debts. Now I try to stack 20 oz per month, at the very least. Disipline is key. It's so easy to get caught up in the hype. Set a budget. Stick with it. Save that discipline for a splurge down the road. I'm at 300 oz in under a year. I set small goals, so it's not so daunting. My ultimate goal? As much as I can stack.

[@rjsledz]

Silver is going down and went down probably about $7 since 2021 when it was at its peak at $25 an ounce for about a day or two then I started to go to 2423-24 back and forth so I don't really place too much emphasis on silver like I used to and when you try to sell silver the dealer probably takes about 40% of it anyway so you're really not making any money or even getting what you originally wanted to get. Whereas if you put $1,000 right now in your bank account such as Ally which is an online bank you're making 2% on it. And if the Fed goes to 5%, that percentage is going to just increase in your bank so while I'm all for silver and I collected some silver a while back I really feel the primary goal should be put your money in your bank or 401k and wait for your either interest to continue going or the 401K in be jumping up and down depending upon the climate of the time or moment. Putting all your eggs in silver is not going to be very good it'll be very crushing unfortunately. But it's not a total waste I mean if you have a goal of 10 years than silver is for you but if you have a goal of one year to 3 years silver is definitely not for you

The food will get you thru an initial disaster, the silver is silver and weather it's collectable or just .999 silver or junk, in bad times it's ALL worth the same when your hungry!

An optimal goal is your body weight in silver. For me, that is over 3000 ounces.

I think 40 oz is a very reasonable target to achieve initially. It doesn’t put too much pressure on someone, and forces you to save up for it (assuming you have a source of income already). I think aiming too high can cause all sorts or problems, especially for the middle and lower income persons, and you don’t want to be cash poor, even if inflation is on the rise. Cash is still relevant and necessary. But having a little bit of precious metal can at least offset some of that weakening dollar in the future. Great video!

Started off with 10 oz in 2019. After listening to hundreds of vids just like this one, my understanding is that you need to be able to cover what you need, if cash simply disappears. Use today's spot prices and equate that to how much you need to cover 1 months expenses. Then try and reach 3 months. Then 6 months. Then 9 months. Ultimately, for someone who wants to 'be their own bank', after it all comes crashing down and we are burning our old fiat currency for warmth *Weimar v2.0* I'd recommend 1000oz silver, per person in your home, for long-term SHTF scenario.

I have been buying and selling silver for decades. I bought a couple of 100 ounce bars when the Hunt brothers were cornering the silver market in the 80’s. I made a tidy profit from those.

We hit the banks and got several rolls of silver quarters, dimes and halves. I still have a few rolls of those uncirculated Kennedy halves.

[@scottcampbell9893]

From the movie Far and Away. People were paid 4 dollars for a minimum pay job for a month in the late 19th Century. Since the dollar was about .77 oz. of silver back then, that means that they were paid around 3 ounces of silver a month. Now, to be safe, just assume 10 oz. of silver a month as a minimum to be safe. This means that 40 oz. of silver would get you by for 4 months. It is recommended that you have at least one year reserve; thus, it is best to have a minimum of 120 oz. silver to get you, and yours, by for a year. IMHO. :)

I think a good start is one coin because it puts a real and tangible piece of silver into the hands of the person who's getting started.

I am keeping the silver in case it eventually catches up but I am not holding my breath. When I reach my goal for gold, I am thinking about getting into bitcoin.

I would think it depends upon one's expendable income. After setting aside that 3-6 months salary for savings/emergencies, and making sure all normal monthly expenses are covered, whatever is left gets divided up with a certain percentage going into each of my various investment funds. I also split my precious metal purchases up to set aside a bit to pick up the larger amounts of gold each quarter (those premiums are still a pain). As one's income grows, so does one's ability to acquire more.
