And you are correct. Storage food is far, far more valuable at that point. Silver is ONLY a transfer of wealth past a die-off into a recovery. Which will be centuries later. I really only do silver from lack of anywhere else to park savings. And even then I don't know if it was really a great idea. Just diversification. I base my decisions on silver on the fact there is only twice as much silver in investment form ( ie NOT industrial use ) above ground as gold. We are mining a LOT less each year. And gold and silver are manipulated down, bigly. I see a time in my lifetime silver is like gold is now, in purchasing power, but higher. So, if you want to gamble, you don't need very much at all. Buy a $100 worth right now and think of it as five Kugarrands. All else, wheat and ammo.

I'm an idiot on silver but I've recently been approached by someone who wants to buy a selection of my hole punchers. It would be in the $3K range in silver. I said no, out of ignorance and a quick check on the internet where the bulk of "gurus" said that 2020 "may" be a good year for silver. Hardly a selling point vs coin of the realm (yeah I get the whole but its not what it used to be thing). Is there a site that could get me up to speed? My thought is: if it does get that point I would rather have $3K in canned goods anyway. Obviously ignorant. thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-12748930960144081142020-01-10T05:27:24.862-08:002020-01-10T05:27:24.862-08:00I haven't drank since my 20's.

A dram is "...Our Dark Lord of Preparedness. 🧛<br /><br />A dram is "officially" 25 (in England) or 35 (in Scotland) mL, so theoretically there should be 21-30 in a 750 mL bottle. <br />That said, most bars in the US pour alcohol at 1.25 oz per drink, so there would be about 20 in a 750 mL bottle. But, since that is not enough to enjoy in a highball glass, I make it a double. 🥴<br /><br />Think almost 2 fingers high in the glass.🤗<br />The bottle was $170.00 bucks (yea, 'bout 30.00 bucks to much in our small town.

No worries, very convenient. I did it, like everyone else. But paying cash for everything? You spend a LOT less. No one wants to part with cash, but the cash on your bank card doesn't feel like cash, so you give in to temptation more. Best way to cut back on frivolous is to only pay with cash. A thermos of coffee isn't as tasty as Starbucks, but costs 1/10th as much. Once eating out become a treat rather than a daily meal, you'll see how terrible the ingredients are compared to home made. Not to mention the cost. BTW, forty buckets, $200. With wheat, another $300. Rugar 10/22, $250. Ammo, $100. Grinder and a couple of Sawyers, $100. Under a grand, three years of food and protection.

The crowd went wild, then eventually 1,2, all the plates hit the floor. That's how I look at the US economy. I don't know how it spins the plates and don't know why they haven't fallen yet. <br /><br />The day after Christmas I drained my only bank account, but left $500 in there for any residual expenses that may come up. I'll remind you I have been debt free for more than 10 years and do not have any credit cards, just 1 bank debit card. This has been a long time coming for me and while it's a little inconvenient, having become addicted to not carrying much cash and paying for purchases with that debit, but like being debt free it is liberating being in almost ($500) complete control of my money. There is no safer place for it than right here cause anyone trys to get it will get more than they bargained for.<br /><br />I'd suggest to anyone not yet prepped properly to a get a Ruger 10/22, 2000 rds of ammo, 40 5 gal buckets of wheat, then pay off all debts. Before that though I'd suggest getting rid of any habits that cost money, eating and drinking from food establishments (make your own at home), cut way back on driving by combining trips, car pooling, etc., lose the recurring cellphone bill and get a TracFone and rarely use it, cut back on the amount of food and drink consumed except for water. Get a Brita water pitcher at Walmart for $30 and drink nothing but filtered water all the time. IOW, train yourself to use less of everything. There are hundreds of little things anyone can do to reduce costs and make their lives more rewarding. <br /><br />Lastly find ways to earn money aside from your primary income source. Cash money that is not attacked by the gov't. Do your side work on nights and weekends, whenever. It will provide a HUGE buffer, when you lose your primary source, that you can't even begin to appreciate now. ghostsniperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15644187165818782984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-54971355337339783982020-01-08T06:31:57.550-08:002020-01-08T06:31:57.550-08:00Sweet baby jesus!

For a while there, there was more horse drawn traffic than car traffic out there, in the deepest part of the recession, about 2010. <br /><br />You could live really well this way. If you modernized as far as having a bicycle, "the horse you don't have to feed" then you could really get around the entire area, no vet care for a horse or harness/wagon upkeep, but you'd be limited to about 100 lbs per rider cargo carrying ability. <br /><br />It could be quite the good life and many are living it as I write, none of 'em are white though, they're people who actually work for a living, Hispanics. The whites out there were batshit crazy, useless, or generally both. <br /><br />As for razor blades, there's an old WWII trick of sharpening one on a piece of glass, you might look into that. <br /><br />alex carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12458022111793552536noreply@blogger.com
