<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adric22, post: 1597753, member: 38146&quot;]I have been thoroughly unimpressed with the performance of my 401K since I started it 6 years ago.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I&#039;ve drastically reduced my contributions to buy bullion instead.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would also like to point out that many young people do not have jobs that offer benefits such as a 401K plan.&nbsp; I wish somebody had shown me some silver bullion when I was 20 years old.&nbsp; I have tried and failed many times over the years to save money of any kind whatsoever.&nbsp; I would do really well for a month or two and then wind up using the saved money for something else.&nbsp; But buying bullion works better for me.&nbsp; Its less liquid than cash so I don&#039;t end up spending it, but is more liquid than a 401K so if I have some sort of emergency I <i>can</i> get to it if needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bullion also has another BIG advantage for me.&nbsp; It allows me to participate more.&nbsp; With my company 401K I basically get to pick from 4 different investment options.&nbsp; That&#039;s it... pick A, B, C, or D.&nbsp; And I get a quarterly statement telling me how much money I lost in the market. Fun, fun fun, huh? </p><p><br /></p><p>With bullion I can buy all kinds of different stuff and actually get to hold it in my hand and appreciate it.&nbsp; Also giving me an active role in it encourages me to invest more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Somebody else mentioned the fact that I pay more because I buy one or two coins at a time.&nbsp; Well, the fact is, before I started collecting bullion I was pretty much unable to save anything.&nbsp; So I consider any savings and investment a plus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
