Why Become a Silver Stacker
I would like to take you through my journey into this seemingly thoughtless investment. At first, you could think to yourself that it would be simple to consider silver and gold an investment, but I would argue that you are missing the bigger picture outlook when it comes to "hedging" your money into this metal. Some of the theory behind why I stack silver and gold is grounded in the calculated conspiracy that the US Dollar will, in fact, collapse. I will start with why that is and then I will lead you into how I ended up with silver and gold as the way to combat this. The methodology is as complicated as you want to make, and the joy of watching your stack grow is a feeling that you cannot get in the stock market.

The Truth About Peer to Peer Lending
Peer to peer lending sites connect people who need to borrow cash, with those who have extra to lend. Simplified, you act as the bank and profit the interest. The benefit here is that these companies have lower overheads, which allow them to offer lower interest rates.

The Road to Riches
I have always wanted to be rich. When I was little, I would fantasize about all the glamour that comes with money. As I grow older, it centers around the freedom to travel and the ability to take care of my family. I didn’t begin to develop a plan for building wealth until I was 19 years old. While working a shift at my college library, I stumbled upon a book called Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiosaki, and like the cliche goes, it changed my financial outlook on life. I no longer wanted to slave away climbing the corporate ladder for a chance at the next pay bracket. I wanted to make money in my sleep. I wanted to make a genuine impact on my loved ones' lives and escape the stress of living below my means. So, like every hopeful entrepreneur, I got on YouTube and researched someone like me who started from nothing and they gave a step by step tutorial on how they did it.
