James, I do agree 100% of what you are saying. Forget gold though. Silver is still cheap enough for most people to buy. Stick with that if you can. Just enough to help get past the inflation. Get out of debt now. And put some cash away in a safe place in your home. Learn how to garden and can veggies and meat. Meat is not hard to can. Use the Blue ball book and follow instructions. I to was once leary of canning meat. But now have been doing it for past 5 years with no problems. I can tell you that the chicken I can, I use a lot for chicken salad. So much better than canned chicken from a store. Same with tuna also.
