Hello #steemsilvergold, I'm @redwellies and the wife of @matthewwarn. You may know him, I've seen him recently lurking with the likes of @raybrockman, @thedamus, @pit-bullion, @phelimint, @welshstacker, @fat-elvis and others with something that is being referred to as "stackitus"... He's also mighty fond of a robot called @silvergoldbotty, who's a bit of a tart if you ask me… but that's another story. As a wife of a stacker, I wanted to add my 2-cents.. ha.. get it 2-cents to the equation about what that's like and as a family how we try to understand and overcome it… how it impacts our lives daily… --- There was one time when our relationship was touch and go… I mean when your husband sells off both cars to buy silver and you need to take the bus and then carry the groceries for miles home, a relationship can get strained. Thankfully @matthewwarn's rehab was successful and we were able to move past this digression. ![Groceries-2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPp6qw6xUkfA8e3yfJiuJpektiHYfQcDubaF9bfxvtLx6/Groceries-2.png) --- Who am I kidding… but I had you going… In all seriousness, I'm incredibly grateful to @matthewwarn for introducing me to silver and gold as an investment and the peace of mind it offers our family. I'm also proud to say that I'm a stacker of sorts. Shush… yes, I said it… Nowhere near on the same playing field as members of the #steemsilvergold who seemingly have at least one unboxing each daily, but I have a little stashed away. I have bullion and some pieces I bought well over spot because I fell in love with them. Pieces that that will appreciate at a faster rate and some fun pieces too… ![IMG_1837 copy.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTpfFvQaiRJ2zRCa7gafn2u3y3S9TYK1yLV45tSDY27Ku/IMG_1837%20copy.jpg) _A smattering of my silver…_ --- I've been to local coin shows with @matthewwarn and have been asked on several occasions if _"I'm there against my will"_ as often I'm the only women present… shame, more women should realize the value and partake in this type of investment, although some of "the boys" may not agree… http://pans-club.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/club-show-700x400.jpeg _[Source](http://pans-club.org/wordpress/?p=938)_ --- Recently I've not purchased any for myself, A couple of pieces for @matthewwarn when his stackitus was playing up and he's bought doubles on a few fun pieces, one for each of us. So, when he has a package arrive in the mail and I see the unboxing post on #steemsilvergold, I do feel a tiny pang of jealousy as there's nothing quite like holding those treasures ever so carefully in the palm of your hand in their airtight capsule or tube :) ![IMG_0227.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVSS6K5NfDyhkq6nr3Upf4o8eTT4S2DUAWU4p8sFDYPCN/IMG_0227.JPG) _1863 Gold Victoria Shield Sovereign - I'm from England and this was a gift from @matthewwarn_ --- Out of all the pieces that I own, one of my favorites is my smallest coin, that was purchased well over spot lol. It's tiny! A mere 0.5 grams… a tiny rock rabbit, but she's perfect and I purchased her from the shop at the [Royal Canadian Mint]( http://www.mint.ca/store/template/home.jsp) in Ottawa when we toured it back in 2015 and I also had the chance to make out with a 28lb bar of 24K gold when we were there, but I digress… ![IMG_6836.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeofFmaWDNmGyD9MdJ1y486D7jAUdfipWxWZvMCvSGPxT/IMG_6836.JPG) Oh and @matthewwarn has this one silver bar that I covet on a regular basis, it's an old pour [Engelhard](https://steemit.com/monthlyauthorchallenge/@matthewwarn/engelhard-bars-pour-me-another-too-please) 100 oz bar that I'd like to keep under my pillow, but that would just be odd. ![IMG_0198.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWd4xbzZ4urDyCeuJBQrkQtRg4z6P9ajdNh5Fjm1Hqja4/IMG_0198.JPG) --- _Anyway, I'm @redwellies, proud wife and supporter of a stacker @matthewwarn… and I may have a touch of stackitus myself… I do believe it's catching._ ![Cate .png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQBLSmD8s1oc4KmtC6Lm4Exmomn7N7agG9gk1Loq7jW7x/Cate%20.png) --- ![red wellies gif.gif](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPvuPmj2UVVCwgxcJJAHPzRNWjyVVGC4vXMbwutuy3uwk/red%20wellies%20gif.gif) Original content by @redwellies ---
