HOW DO YOU SUPPORT YOUR ADDICTION?

2017-05-23 10.13.26.png

Back when I first learned about silver, one of the biggest problem I faced was, how would I beable to afford to Invest. At that time I had 2 Kids in College and was already stretched financially with that expense, since I did not want either one of my kids to have a student loan. There had to be a way, thought about a part time job. So I went looking, could not find anything that paid worth a damn, I mean $8.00 -$10.00 an hour didn't really seem worth my time to me. Then driving home one day from my full time job, I saw it, I knew what and How I was going to do this.

PEOPLE DO NOT MIND PAYING FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO DO

There is alot of money to be made, simply by providing a service that people do not like to do and what better service the a LAWN CARE

So a several years back I started one. I mean my father always told me "that anything is easy as long as you have the right tools". My first year I was not able to buy very much silver, simply because my goal was to get all the equipment Paid off the first year. The equipment has been paid off now for 2 grass cutting seasons, this one being the 3rd.

Man that steemit decal looks good on the back of my truck, anyways that decal can be the proof its me.

But back to my story, there are plenty of ways to make extra money in this world, you just have to go find it, And this happens to be mine

I dont plan on doing this forever, I mean shit, its hot some days, but I will continue to do this untill I feel like I have enough silver.

One good thing is, my yard always looks good.

I never went as far as starting a second business to support my "habit". I've always followed the "slow and steady wins the race". I would just put aside $100-$200 a month every month for many years. That worked great back in the 90's when silver was $4.00 an oz. Now I just make about 1 or 2 eBay purchases a month ( usually Kennedys).

You said 90's, see I got a late start and had to build quick. You know when you first start stacking, you always think tomorrow is the day it will go up. Thanks for the visit.

Awesome Ray! You got me thinking...

😉 ,,it works pretty good.

That's really cool Ray! And what a great example for your kids. You get out there and you make it happen and don't stop until it's done.

the decal does look sweet! Everytime i see my Volvo from the back i'm like: Thaz right i'm making silver outta' thin air! (although my steemit science is very rudimentary as of yet.)

good job man!

Awesome! That's the way to do it. No work is bad enough for silver stackers. We know it will save our live one day and that day is coming soon. Upvoted.

Its probably comer sooner than later, thanks for the upvote.

This is a great post!
I used to try and buy silver with every spare penny. But now I buy things that interest me or that I really like. It helps with the cravings if I promise myself a piece (or two/3/4) every fortnight!😉 who am I kidding? I'm an addict!!😃

Most of us are. Thanks for the visit.

Im self employed so i split my week up into segments Bills, other shite, silver. Id just rather buy and save in silver than put it in the bank for them to steal my man hours through inflation low interest rates and potential bail ins and capital controls. My hopes are that my silver will be my pension and that there will be enough left to ensure my grandkids dont have to go into debt.
BTW i started part time like you then took a redundancy package from my full time job that i reinvested into my garden/property maintenance buisiness, as you say doing the stuff no one wants to do. Best decision i ever made

Good plan, thanks for the visit and comment.

I do a thing on called ''matched betting'' In short it's a loophole where i take a bookmakers sign-up bonus and turn it into real cash using betting exchanges. There are on going offer's so there is always money to be had. This gets me the finer things in have in my stack.

If it works, do it.

All of us stackers are proactive to some degree I think. That's what it's all about. Cars are my life, they are all consuming of me. I've made it my career, and after hours I choose to repair a select few vehicles to boost my capital.

Cool, i didnt know that, I am currently redoing a nissan 240sx with my youngest son. I COULD USE A GOOD CAR GUY RIGHT ABOUT NOW.

It sounds like you have a drifter punk on your hands.

How did you figure that out.

I've just about seen it all in the auto world. Did you see episode one of Ed's garage in my blog?

Let me know if you need any help there.

its a great job better than being stuck in an office :)

Yes it is, if it wasnt for insurance prices, this would be my full time job

When i have earnt my wage the first thing i do is buy a silver coin to pay myself for the weeks work and then the currency thats left has no emotional attatchment as ive already been paid with my coin. But as an ex smoker i stack like i smoked, always found money for the nicotine, i had to i was addicted and ill always find money for silver, i have to im addicted :)

Very cool my friend, paying yourself, I havent stop smoking yet but when I do all that money will go to silver, thanks for the visit and comment.
