    With a Caribbean wedding to pay for and many other costs this month to contest with it's left me with 0 to invest.

    I've got seriously itchy fingers and constantly find myself still looking for deals. Is anyone else in this position? Any help lol.

    Spousal audits of spending can be worse than the ATO.

    I'd mention the Secret Stackers Club, but you know the first rule of Secret Stackers Club....

    Sell some old crap on eBay and free up some funds. Apparently those old brick phones are going for a few hundred nowadays

    My advice is not too look when you don't have the money haha I was doing the same thing and it drives you crazy. I would blow my load at the beginning of the month and have to go 6 weeks until I could buy again....all you think about is"NOOOOO i missed such a good deal" or " NOOOOO the price is going up I have to buy now!!!" Its a lot less stressfull to just start looking when you have the funds :p

    She won't ever know about secret stackers club! She will also not know the where about's of my silver & gold or how much I actually have. The locations will be detailed in my will but without quantity (for obvious reasons) if she or my daughter ever need to find it.

    If I invested all the money I've spent on the wedding in silver & gold I'd be quite well off with a seriously shiny stack right now! Just going to have to wait longer to get it to that state!

    That's very good advise Dynamite. It's addictive though. At least i'm not spending on fags and alcohol though.

    Well I'm currently -$58k so that's enough to quell my itchy fingers. However I still make very small purchases wherever I find something I really want because you still have to live a little

    Everywhere...simultaneously
    You are not alone ScottyRS...there are a few of us here, I think, that have next to nothing (after other significant and important bills to pay) to spend on shiny things.

    We feel your pain.

    Don't dump the wife....she may turn out to be as good or better investment than shiny silver in the end. :) (just kidding.....consider yourself fortunate that you found a great significant other)

    Truth, the fiance and I broke up and I spent all the saved wedding money and my savings for silver...now I'm in the same boat as you are counting the days till i can buy again. Losing her is not the answer, I still havin't found a way to arrange my silver that feels as good as she did in bed...
