The spelling police are out in full force!
Seems to me like a good time to SELL gold, not buy it.
This article is way too mild. Something this way is coming and it ain’t gonna be good.
If you don’t buy precious metals at least get a good store of food and hygiene items to last for at least several months. When the banks fail there will be a lot of other things fail. If you aren’t working because your employer went out of business do you think you will be able to live on food stamps? Ha! Everybody thinks that the government will protect them, it can’t!
Everybody thinks that because we have never had a catastrophic failure of the economy that it won’t happen. We did have a failure during the depression but this will be much worse. Back then we had a gold standard, people at least had something. Now days people only have debt.
Now in this country and much of the world 1/3 of our population lives on Social Security. When the inflation hits they will have a VERY hard time. People will be moving in together as large families try to get by on one household and very little money. Actually a lot of money but it will be worthless.
Do what the man says, get some gold, silver, guns, ammo, food and water. Get your house paid up or have enough cash to pay your rent or house payments for a long time. Quit worrying about how big your flat-screen is or how new your car is and get some security, do it now.
I hope the good Lord will help us. We don’t deserve it but I hope He will.
Food, storable food. Rice, and beans and lots of it. It is very cheap and carries the combination of carbs and protein to keep you healthy. A water filter, and stored water too. Buy plastic garbage cans, fill them with water somewhere on your property. Three or four of them, full of water will get a family of four through a month of troubles. The price is practically nothing, compared to bottles of water. I have my hot tub full of water, with no chemicals. Three hundred and fifty gallons to get us through a few months. Cord wood is drying, I bought a chain saw, and enough fuel for a year for it. I have three 100 foot trees laying down waiting to cut up too. Buy bar soap, light bulbs, raise some chickens. My garden is a disaster production wise, but I am learning. I have plans on buying a beef, along with a “craigslist” freezer to store it in. The worst that can happen is I lose $600, the best is, I can trade meat for other needed items. WHEN the SHTF, I hope and pray we all remain civilized. Just in case, I have plenty of ammo. That too is going to be a great trading item.
All’s I know is this. My parents grew up in Italy during the war. It was the toughest times they ever lived through.
They always told me that the people who had it best back then were the farmers, because they had everything they needed right there. And my grandparents survived because they were handy and could do masonry or machinery work for the farmers in trade for food.
If I have to hedge my bets, that’s what I’m going with. Grow food. And make yourself useful.
How much rent do those tenants pay?
