    Does anyone else suffer psychiatric problems from stacking silver ? Now when I go to buy something at the shops or wherever and the cost is say $30, I think automatically "an ounce" and if something is say $15 I think "half ounce" and if something is $100 I think "3 ounces". Its getting quite disturbing.....

    I measure all my purchases in PM's value.

    Got a sandwich from a shop today.

    Paid $5

    Hey, if I got 6 of these I could get an oz of Silver.

    This is why I normally make lunch @ work.

    And the strange thing is that Aurora sells his PM's and then he can have a counter lunch & ale once a week

    Um Er, I've gone that way. First thing I do in the morning while having breakfast is to checkout this Forum. Last thing when I go to bed is checkout this forum. Addiction???

    Also, popped downstairs this morning and bought an oz :)

    Yeah - similar sort of thing for me. I don't think about purchases in oz until it gets over $50 on some non-essential item. "Hmm, dinner out is costing me 2 oz. That bottle of wine wasn't worth an oz!" - that sort of thing. I hate it when it gets to big bills that remind me of the Kg that could be had instead. (Yeah, I had to do major work on the car recently...)

    I'm part of a hot hatch forum. There's lots of talk about a limited slip diff as a mod. It costs about $1500 and I'm thinking I'd rather spend that money on an ounce of gold.

    I have more problems, when I get on a bus or look at a place where its crowded with people. I feel like waking them up. But then I think to myself, these guys out here really have no idea whats going to happen in the near future.

    That's not a psychiatric problem Matthew, that's a very valuable paradigm shift.

    You are still measuring purchases as you would in fiat, but you have disconnected the value of money from paper, to silver/gold.

    In fact, it's a very healthy shift in consciousness, as it will clearly allow you to see over time how inflation really works and how your silver and gold preserves your purchasing power.

    Disconnecting the concept of money being paper is a completely natural by product of becoming a silver stacker. It means you are becoming aware of what real value entails and what real money is.

    By all means keep your thought patterns on this path, it's most definitely the correct path to be on!

    +1. I hate going into crowded places and shopping. I feel disgusted by all the consumerism and whoring of of society.

    I lasted 7 minutes at a shopping centre the other day.

    edit: i feel like that comment needs a punchline like..

    .. and now i'm barred from Big W

    or

    .. the woman at the checkout ended up faking it.

    but i think i've already pushed the envelope with that Straya day youtube.. oh wait a minute, too late..

    For all you people with silver psychiatric problems, the doctor is in and he accepts silver or gold in payment. :)

    I hear you all. My missus can't stand taking me to the shops anymore as I complain so much and literally feel ill. It a combination of the crowded space and the disgusting consumerism that does me head in. I can't get out of the place quick enough. I always remember as a young fella that my dad would rarely go into the shopping centers, preferring to mind the car out in the car park. I now understand his actions fully.
