stacking metals for retirement

This is why I'm buying silver 2018. I have nothing saved for retirement or emergency fund. I have never put myself first. I always have an excuse to use my money as soon as I get it. I spend stupid money on diet coke and eating out. I bought too much junk for my kitchen. I was too generous helping everyone out financially. Not anymore!!! After seeing videos of Greece and Venezuela, I'm scared to death of not being well prepared. I don't think my family will survive, if inflation hit. My little ones are clueless and so most of the people I know. I'm slashing my bills, reducing the number of trips to the market, cutting coupons, and planning my meals according to sale ads. I'm also stocking my pantry and buying $100 dollars of silver each month.
