I can’t, I’m addicted to the shiny stuff (can't help myself). Also, I'm too young to stop, I'm in my late 30s and I've only started six years ago. Also keep losing my stack in boat accidents forces me to start from scratches every now and then.

If I remember correctly Romania joined WW1 in 1916 (or in 1917?) alongside the allies (Britain, France, Italy, Russian Empire). Her entrance to the war was however a disaster as she immediately suffered a combined offensive of the four central powers combined (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire), that shattered the romanian army. Although Romania (with russian intervention) managed to continue the war, lost half of it territory, including Bucharest and some of the most fertile land. The wheat and cattle seized by the Central Powers from Romania, helped them relieve their precarious food situation, providing them enough supply for six months.

Yes I have no idea. I just carried at most one full ounce at the time, often just one or two 1/4 oz. Never been stopped at the metal detector. Had I been stopped, I would have just declared the truth, gold price is £££ per ounce, which is well below the 10K threshold

Not keeping anything for the quarter ounces. I only keep the invoices for the full ounces, which I'm not planning to sell anytime soon, especially since they are liying at the bottom of the sea.

After the purchase, just remember to declare here on TSF (for the record) that you've lost everything ina boat accident, even if the accident hasn't happened yet.

I've decided this morning to spend the whole of my savings in the bank account, in order to enjoy life with hookers and alcohol, before it's too late to afford anything. They lasted a whopping three hours. Luckily bills are already paid, and I have more than enough food until the next payday.

My stack. Damn boat accident

We could open a central bank on our own and issue a silver backed currency 😁 Not with my silver though after the tragic boat accident.

Tesco and Sainsbury, in just a year. 400 gr pork sausage, from 2.5£ to 3.15£, which is +26% 500 gr pasta, from 90p to 1.20£, which is +33% Loose oranges, from 30p each to 35p each, which is +16.6% Gas and electricity bill goin up +35% from the 1st of april. But don't worry, inflation is transitory.

Welcome to the community

Very interesting discussion. I don't separate them. My possessiveness and my discipline was wat kept me in check from liquidating my collection. This was before losing everything on the boat accident. Now I own nothing.

Not for me. I bouth one of them last year. Being used to quarter oucnes, the tenth ounce feels so small between my fingers that doesn't give me any satisfaction. 🤣 I'll just stick with full oz and 1/4 oz.

A good time to buy gold is at anytime. Buy regularly what you can afford, so you don't care about ups and downs in the price over the long term. I'm not very experienced compared to many members here, but I adopted a new attitude: not measuring my wealth in currency, but in weight. Set my stacking objectives in ounces and quarter ounces. According to estimates, there is less than an ounce of gold per person above ground, as of today, so every time I add a new ounce to my collection (most likely 4 quarter ounces) in my mind I am richer than someone else will ever be. Now my stack is buried at the bottom of the ocean. Thankfully I survived that terrible boat accident.

Mostly 24K because I like taking a look at them. Occasionally some sovreigns on a budget. Of course this was before losing everything in a boat accident.

No. Can't afford to buy a 2 ounce gold all at once. I try to buy quarter ounces monthly (almost). besides, I did not even see the design
