Well just finished my coffee and they insist they don't sell gold .

Still buying but altering what I acquire based on how I plan to exit in a couple of decades. Theory being, gold will be far too expensive for most to afford (more than it is already) so most likely exit plan will involve dealers (so now looking to acquire ounces closer to spot than has been achievable with Sovs) whilst also picking up quarter/half Sovs that will be more affordable for the everyday man/woman. Just means I’ll alter my stack a bit over time. That’s the plan anyway

Would have though that would be net (take home) rather than gross figures (quick back of napkin) ...
300K average house price x 4% rental yield = 12K year for accommodation
2K/year council tax, 3K energy costs, 1K/year water/waste, 5K/year travel costs, 6K/year food
29K/year (requiring around a £36K/year gross pay/wage).
For a couple + children, similar rental/accommodation, council tax, water and energy costs, more in food/other costs, so 50K/year seems about right.
Ways to direct towards improvements ...
Block anyone who isn't at least third generation British from any political or public office position - that might otherwise be more inclined to favour other countries (such as the movement of gold out of the UK).
Promote the expansion of the 1% that pay a third of the tax take (rather than pushing them away to leave the rest having to pay 50% more in taxes). Expanded to 3% and lower/no taxes for 97% of the population.
Punitively penalise companies that employ foreign workers over training/developing our own population and where workers are paid a good wage where they can fund themselves/family rather than having to rely upon state top-ups. A low cost migrant that is prepared to tolerate poor conditions whilst working in the UK in order to return home relatively rich, whilst that leaves a Brit idle at home on benefits, is a mid/longer term liability.
Unfortunately there is no prospect of such policies, instead the major parties are all pushing in the complete opposite direction. 'More cosmopolitan', higher taxes and rules flip-flopping that drives away the 1%, encouragement of low wage migrant employment. Large scale migration of state and public office positions to where those with the wrong faith are having birth certificates/passports defaced by public servants, are being refused or provided biased medical treatment and/or ignored from allocation of housing etc.

All these days and pages of nothing…. anything actually for sale🤔🤔

I think I accidentally acquired another coin with a super-low mintage without realising it?!
As far as I can tell, all silver proof versions of this coin were coloured, with only the piedfort version being plain.
This Pyx coin is not a piedfort, which would make it one of only 6-10 uncoloured coins in existence (I don't know how many were returned from the trial as this didn't come with paperwork - anyone know?).
Update: I was wrong about the piedfort version - that was also only available in colour, apart from 10 uncoloured ones that were returned from the trial.

Na this one is much better… it’s got Pussy Galour in it. 

Watching the price go up, down and sideways in the short term got boring for me after a while.
Over the last few years I've never let an 'all time high' stop a purchase, knowing there will be a new 'all time high' at some point further down the road.
The longer I own it, the happier I am with my purchase. Now, if I can just learn to let go... 😅

Its a wierd one. I wouldnt know how to successfully go about buying low and selling at a profit so its safer for my finances to buy and keep hold. Im happy to do that as i dont like selling anyway 😄.
Im 50 this year and plan to sell up when i retire.
If it gets to the point i cant afford to buy anymore Gold, ill just sit on what i have and that will have to do. If i can carry on, i will.
Im trying to not go smaller than sovereigns but occasionally a nice 1/10 will come my way that i cant resist.

I need to do a check and total what's been sold But I think I'm approaching £2000 now so on track for either the 5 sovereigns or the rarest sovereign I can afford with what I have saved.

I think we will hit 1850 then fall back down 1820 and finish the week there.
Based on - an uneducated guess

Nice mid-week delivery 😀

Trouble is, you go into Costco with the mindset that it’s cheaper than other places on all their stuff, unfortunately not always the case😮🤔

The boy is learning quick...😘
