Well, I can’t afford gold, but stuff to use and barter, I can do that. As to being happy, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is totally out of my control, so all I can do is prepare as best I can, and hope I can cope. I may not be happy, but I am less angry and stressed.
>> stuff to use and barter, I can do that.
Good plan. .22 ammo by the case, f’rinstance. Can’t eat gold; I suppose you could make bullets out of it but they wouldn’t be very good ones.
Or, if you want to get rid of your money real quick and the stores are closed, you can just write me a check. :-)
Time to thump the tub for the lowly 5c piece again. It's melt value is near 7c now. Probably when it gets over 10c they will start to disappear, the govt. will rant about hoarders (illegal to melt 'em) and replace them with a debased coin. That will create a secondary market like silver coins have.
Every time you have a couple of bucks to spare (I know, I know) buy a roll and put 'em in a drawer - all you're risking is 5c each. Since it has an intrinsic value it will increase in this inflationary economy. A $100 face value MIGHT bring $1,000 or more in buying power in the near future
