I would like to get into precious metals as I currently don't have any real expenses in my life yet and I have 10k saved. I am looking for sites that reward first time buyers or something similar.
It is best to be discrete about such things and not advertise them on websites likely to be monitored by those who see TLM Catholics as the enemy.

Honestly, if I had money to spare, I'd be buying things like (long term) stored food, water, supplies.  I don't think gold will be worth much when the SHTF.  I think that even cigarettes will be a better form of "currency".  You can't eat gold, and it would depend on whether it's accepted on the black market, since the US government could just outlaw it for use in commerce.  FDR confiscated all the gold from "hoaders" during the Great Depression.

I tried to buy some time ago $750 worth of gold from a website and they were going to charge me $60 tax. I canceled the order.

Any websites that don't charge such a high tax?
.

I live in California and the law here is that any purchase of precious metals below $1500 is subject to sales tax, while any purchase above that is considered an investment and not really a purchase of some kind of consumer good, so it is exempt from sales tax.

I'd look at the laws tax on precious metals in your state.

Dave here used to advertise in the Catholic Family News years ago. I've used him before.

Whatever you do, don't go to a pawn shop
