Exactly so don’t buy anything other than a home…not even clothes. Put the rest into gold and diamonds and bury it in all the backyard where it will be safe and do your life good. Don’t buy anything else as it is just a liability and that is just a waste.

Don’t buy a $25,000 car that can take you to a $75,000/yr job as that is just stupid since it is only a depreciating liability. Keeping an eye on that sack of rocks in the hole will serve you better!

That is interesting, is it not?

Precious metals are exactly that -- precious in perception. But what can a tool such as a wrench or a car do? Plenty. A bar of gold just sit there and give the owner a sense of wealth. But a tool such as a wrench actually fixes something and a vehicle moves something. All contributors to the economy.
