Would love to hear about how you have made decisions on how to save for your retirement or just a rainy day. Mattress, 401k, Roth IRA, Savings account, etc.

I listen to Clark Howard a fair amount. I also like Dave Ramsey. That being said I learned that when I left a job I wanted to take more than a notch in a resume and experiance. So I maxed out my 401 K matching funds. There is a saying, " expenses rise to the level of income". If you make more your income less you also trim spending accordingly.

COL Lee Flemming I had a SGM once tell me to store up on three medals evenly: gold, silver, and brass. The brass is ammunition to protect your gold and silver or to take others when the apocalypse comes.

I personally do a lot of different baskets to avoid crashing if one performs badly.

I have a some silver...for a while I would purchase a bit and put it away. I have gotten away from that of late, but no time like the present to start again.
