That's it for me. I will not return to this site as it has a negative tone of a know it all SOB. Enjoy retirement.......and get off the "sky is falling soap-box". Things are tough and will be tough.... we all know that. Let's take a breather from Garth's river of doom. Boycott this site. And don't buy his book! Cheers. I just read Garth’s Blog.

A little lesson in saving and not living off money you don't actually have is exactly what's required. All the world ending talk is nonsense…

… unless of course you happen to think the world in its correct state means 4-car families living in enormous houses in the suburbs; being able to buy a speedboat/car/computer two days after deciding you want one instead of saving for it; using your house as an ATM machine to fund things like new kitchens and other stuff you don’t need; going out partying every weekend; buying the latest gadget the moment it’s released even though you don’t need it; spending $5 a day on coffee; buying a cottage; eating out more than once a week; paying for a nanny; becoming rich overnight without really doing anything; getting into $10,000+ of debt to “gain” an Arts degree you’ll never use… in these cases “your” world is indeed over and good riddance to it.

A little lesson in saving and not living off money you don’t actually have is exactly what’s required.

Over the next few years when the cashout selling has been completed, we will see bullion double, then triple. I sold an few income properties in 2000 and put all of it in GOLD and SILVER,removed myself from the stockmarket a few months ago, sold my home and now rent. Has anyone here tried there local coin shop for some silver maples/bullion? ITS SOLD OUT. Silver and Gold has now separated itself from spot price.
