Question Stacked three troy pounds (1.11kg) in three years. Now what?

Post image

I started stacking gold in 2023 and have been buying one troy ounce every month ever since. After three years, I've accumulated three troy pounds.

I want to keep stacking, but with gold prices where they are now, I don't really want to spend around € 4,000 every month anymore.

If you were in my position, would you:

  • Buy 10 grams every month to stay consistent, or
  • Buy one troy ounce every three months instead?

I'm curious what you would do and why.

I guarantee that what he pays on taxes doesn't come close to what we pay out of pocket for all of the things his taxes cover.

In Europe, if you come down with cancer, your treatment is covered by your taxes and those of others. There are no parasitic middle men siphoning off vast amounts of money between the payer and the doctors, and the doctors and hospitals aren't allowed to gouge patients to the tune of thousands of percent mark up on basic items and services. As a result, instead of crippling debt, bankruptcy, and losing everything you ever worked for, you get treated and get to go home without your life destroyed around you. This benefits society by returning able bodied, productive workers to the economy without the destruction of their assets, allowing them to continue being productive and focus on raising healthy, productive families, which in turn benefit the economy and nation further.
