<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JDS, post: 796819, member: 20515&quot;]I have considered posting a similar issue, but in my case it&#039;s my wife. She doesn&#039;t have the same interest in bullion investing as I do, and it really irritates me that she is keeping me from investing as much as I would like to invest. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think she views my bullion purchases as part of my coin collecting hobby, and not as an asset and a store of wealth. I have tried explaining to her how silver is a hedge against inflation, and I took her to a coin store once to witness my purchase of silver eagles. Still, she can&#039;t seem to appreciate that when I buy silver, I am actually saving money. </p><p><br /></p><p>So, I have to be sneaky. I have a modest allowance of $60 per week that I can spend on whatever I choose; and I have been spending it all on silver an coffee. However, my goal is to buy one roll a month, and $60 per week doesn&#039;t cut it.&nbsp; Whenever, I go to the grocery store or drugstore to buy something, I always use my debit card and take out extra cash of $10 or $20 that I stash away for my next purchase. </p><p><br /></p><p>I should have enough cash by mid February for a roll. </p><p><br /></p><p>It really ****es me off, but I haven&#039;t made an issue of it. We have no debt other than our house, we are both putting money away in retirement accounts, and we have a healthy savings account balance that we fund every month that will see us through any emergency or loss of income. Still..... she likes cash in the bank and doesn&#039;t think silver is in any way equivalent. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nice to get this off my chest, but the next step is to confront her with what I want to do with my share of the money that I bring in, so I can do it openly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
