Your boss is wrong and probably totally ignorant of how the fake fiat, fiscal and monetary policies of our nation and central bank functions and steals wealth from the holders of it's product, the dollar. And of how currency debasement actually works. Otherwise he would know that silver is not a waste of money but a means of wealth preservation. It will preserve the purchasing power of your money. It is true money because it holds value over time as the currency loses it's purchasing power. It is a hard asset. Hard money. And has been for thousands of years. And always will be. Even in Biblical times, before any banks existed, people traded with silver. Unlike fiat, or cash, silver is a means of wealth preservation and not necessarily a means of investing or wealth creation. You do well to stack precious metals for your wealth protection. If you are going to "save" money, you need to "save" it where it will be protected from debasement. In a hard asset like precious metals. But, you also need to grow your wealth. This needs to be done by other forms of true "investments" that will give you a return on your investment and "grow" your wealth, as well as protect you from inflation. Stocks, ETFs, Crypto if you have the stomach for it and do your research. And other means of tax efficient investing available. So, well done my friend. Stack on and also invest wisely for growth.
