One Fractional Gold At A Time...

in #steemsilvergold6 years ago (edited)

... and then you have a tube with twentyfive 1/10 oz American Gold Eagles!



Sorry... the photos are not that great. I am on a trip, and these are the best ones in my Photos file.

‘Slow and steady wins the race’, is the moral of the tortoise and hare story from Aesop’s fable.
One day a hare teased the tortoise for its slowness. The latter challenged the former to run a race. The race day having arrived, they began to run the race. The hare with its usual swiftness left the tortoise far behind and thought of taking a short nap. However, it soon fell fast asleep. The tortoise, on the other hand, continued to walk with its slow pace steadily and reached the goal far ahead of the hare. When the hare awoke, it could not find the tortoise behind and sped with all its might. However, to its utter amazement, it found the tortoise dozing comfortably at the goal, after the fatigue of the race. Source

Even a person with a little disposable income can save and stack in precious metals and achieve success through persistent efforts. Just keep on at a steady pace, and you will build up your stack!

Thank you for viewing this article. I will see you again soon!

Heya saver! Let’s see if 100 vote does it!
Come on 60 rep!!!

😎👍👍

yay for @silversaver888 !!!!! she got it!!!!! :)

I appreciate you very much, @thedamus!

I didn't realize a tube of 1/10 oz gold eagles holds 25 coins, I learned something today. @ironshield

Hello, @ironshield. A regular tube of 1/10 oz American Gold Eagles is 50 coins in a tube. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, my friend. Have a wonderful Sunday!

50?! Oh my... I guess it's like a roll of pennies. Thanks for the info, Saver. Only 47 more to go :P

Ah, 50 coins to a tube. That's a lot! @ironshield

I know, right? Hehehehe... I had to get the tube so that I am not having to buy those capsules... and use the tube as a motivation tool... like reminding my subconscious self to fill it up! Fill it up!!! I am guessing that my bracelet will be filled before the tube. I wear my bracelet every day and every week, I want to get a charm... if only I can break my own rules. But I vowed never again to spend beyond what I had planned for, and never beyond what I had budgeted for PMs a month. And remind myself over and over... there is no hurry... slow but steady wins the race.

I didn't know that either. Boy, do I have a long way to go, hehe.

So I had 10 fractional AGEs... I said... okay... time to get s tube. The capsules are expensive., Oh, BTW, I have several for 1/10 AGEs, just let me know if you want some. I tell you, my efforts every month getting those tiny gold seemed like worthless the first time they went into the tube. Like it is not enough!!! Yet it strengthened my resolve. You know me... a have a tiny budget, ... not like you! And I know that you will easily fill a tube. Heck, you can buy an entire tube outright... just a little over $7K. I can't stack as hard as others... but I stack as hard as I can within my means... slow and steady.

Living and learning. As I don't have any 1/10oz gold eagle, I also did not know that the tube has 50 coins. Congrats on your half-tube. I think it will become a full-tube very soon, :=)

But I am now buying Mene... hehehehe. Forget 50! Hahahahaha!

Thank you for your continued support of SteemSilverGold

@silversaver888 what a beautiful sight and an even more beautiful meaning in the strategy. As stackers we must rely on inner strength and discipline to continue to build our wealth and any precious metals slowly is better than none any day. Thanks for sharing my friend!

In purchasing for my stack, I get me a fractional gold first. Then the remaining amount I buy a few American Silver Eagles, a couple face value of US Constitutional coins, but that amount for silver is reduced when I buy handpours that are over 3 ounces. This part has been a challenge for me. That is why I always somehow tell you that I need to focus more on my base stack. I am glad that Mene is here. It quiets down my urges to buy fancy high premium stuff, and I get to wear what I buy, so I am not feeling so deprived. It is not easy to stack hard because I have to give up some fluff and stuff that brings me some satisfaction (but without sacrificing the quality of my life). But the fluff and stuff are the things that a regular girl likes. Now, I have a bracelet, and I am eager to fill it up with charms. I declare this goal to you, so that I will be more committed to it. And the bracelet... it is a great visualization tool! This time next year, it should be filled... I hope!

That’s a very nice accomplishment Saver. Way to go.....You are the Stackin Queen. Enjoy bestie...🌹

And you know that it entails a lot of sacrifice and patience and consistency and perseverance! Whew!!!! That is why I am loving the 24K charms, because (as a girl) I get to wear them, and it doesn't feel as difficult to stack, LOL!

I’m totally aware. Just can’t see paying the premium for Mene. But I understand your point.
