<p>[QUOTE=&quot;goldmember, post: 1174311, member: 19304&quot;]I don&#039;t tell my wife what I am buying and selling daily (our finances are moderately ok), but we came to an agreement years ago about our &quot;fun&quot; money.&nbsp; She gets about $50 from every pay to do what she wants, like getting her nails done (things that make her feel good) and I get about the same to put into coins.&nbsp; Sometimes its less and sometimes its more, but I try to stick to that amount.&nbsp; When the market wasn&#039;t good for buying, I would just move the money into my separate account so I would have it when I wanted to buy.&nbsp; To do this I often give up other costly hobbies, but it is worth it to me.&nbsp; We have been doing this for only about 6 years or so, and she was pretty happy when I recently cashed out the bulk of my junk and bullion silver (I kept some silver and all my collectables) to put towards our upcoming child and other expenses.&nbsp; I was disappointed to let it go, but I know it was for a good cause and that I had done well with my investments.&nbsp; An important point to this method is that you slowly build a good collection with minimal impact on your finances, and you can adjust or stop if the situation calls for it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My story aside, my advice would be to come up with something that both of you are ok with.&nbsp; If she agrees to give you an &quot;allowance&quot; for coins/bullion (and make no mistake, it would be bad for your marriage if you hide it from her), don&#039;t share the daily ups and downs with her if they make her uneasy.&nbsp; Just buy it and put it away.&nbsp; It will likely come in handy one day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
