@VooDooMedic Yeah I'm all about the lowest cost per ounce and Bullion Now tends to be the best value, (when they have stock). If you log onto their website you'll find the 500+ pre-order kangaroos that they posted yesterday are all gone.

@atomic it was at 1110 when I ordered this morning I didn't have a lot of cash on hand so I threw 900~ at it

@VooDooMedic OK, I thought it was 500 ounces, must have been 5,000.

@atomic not sure, I'm really kicking myself at not buying physical metals sooner

@VooDooMedic Yeah I took TFM's advice and bought 6 months worth, sorry now I didn't buy more in the intervening period.

@VooDooMedic Bullion Now has a youtube page if you want the nitty gritty. https://www.youtube.com/@BullionNow

@VooDooMedic They're a bit slow on shipping out at the moment due to the huge demand over the last month coupled with the shop closing down over Xmas, but apparently they are taking on more staff and once they're trained up the backlog should ease plus the boss is in Germany buying up tonnes of silver, so should see the stock issue problem diminish.

@atomic that's good I told them not to ship it till I've hit 25 which should happen within the 3 month period and then I can start saving and throwing more money at it

@VooDooMedic You might want to wait till you have say 30 coins. The tubes from Perth mint have a seal that best left alone. Shows they are mint condition should you ever wish to sell or trade them for gold. I'd leave the seal attached to the tube and get a couple loose coins just to get a feel for them. I used to give them to family at birthdays and Xmas presents when they were $50 ounce.

@atomic ahhh gotcha, yeah I just got 7 to start with which equated to roughly around 950$ so I figure I'll just keep buying 1 or 3 a week with my spare money

@VooDooMedic Perth Bullion just put up some 1 ounce coins at $12 over spot if you're interested. https://www.perthbullion.com.au/product-category/silver/?v=ed935f5774b9

@atomic yeah I simply don't have the extra funds unless I pull equity out of my mortgage which I really don't want to do

@atomic I'm basically living paycheck to paycheck now that I was forcibly transitioned to days instead of nights I'm losing about 600$ per week in disposable income and I'm really feeling it rn I'm trying to keep 4k in my emergency fund but it's basically hit and miss rn some weeks I'll bump above 5k for a bit then drop back down as auto payments come out, basically it leaves me with 200$ a week after everything is said and done and that doesn't account for any other expenditures or treats

@VooDooMedic @atomic Good luck

I fucking hate auto detuct
I pay everything I can with physical cash in person
or bpay (Australian bank deposit type thing)
and avoid debt card

@charliebrownau @atomic I direct debt everything but I basically am living by myself paying for a household by myself I barely have 2 hrs to myself a day to feed eat and get ready for the next day it's rough ATM I need an extra set of hands but no one can be trusted enough or will do it for a good enough price that won't pauper me

@VooDooMedic @atomic Been their , done that

In the past Ive got up at 3:55 to get to work at 6, home at 6pm, bed at 7pm up at 3:55am

Only to get to sleep in on Saturday till 6.30
if some wanker doesnt wake me up

I know what you mean about 99% of people being fucking useless

At least its cheaper in live in USA or Cuckada then Australia

@charliebrownau @atomic yeah ultimately it'll be better once I'm back on nightshift it'll put me 600$ a week positive and I'll be able to actually start saving and investing the money slowly bit by bit again

@VooDooMedic @atomic I managed to get an adult 'mature' age carp apprenticeship that starts in 2 weeks

Finally got a cheap 2nd hand car (im calling it the bigot buggy)

Goal is to do carp for 2-3 years

Do wood working items for sale on the side
and
learn to do shop fitting, cabinets and tiny homes

@charliebrownau @atomic that's sick man fuck yeah I'm glad to hear your learning skills, I'm actually going to get into gardening, I'm looking into water systems and methods to make the ground fertile without chemicals and shit leaching into the ground

@VooDooMedic @atomic Cool

Definally look into

Vermaponics
Aquaponics
Electroculture

if you do artifcal light, use the old bulbs not nwo ((( LED )))
and try to avoid Plastic and treated wood

Raw untreated hardwood, copper, brass, metal or tree logs/vinces/twigs/etc

Also look into Fasting and OMAD

You will save money on food and its heathlier

Ketovore or Carnivore

Maybe look into
Quail
Chickens
Gunini pigs
