Very sad to hear, that is a tough situation. Not fair, much like many things in this world....
Getting to work there makes thinking about the future more in your face I would imagine, and you still have ample time to try and put yourself in a better situation between now and then. Who cares what the negative Nancy's around you say, they will be wishing they had invested in PM's one day....

Througout history paper money becomes worthless when states have been destroyed, but silver and gold stay intact. Its simply just been melted down and reminted with a new face over and over again.

Lots of good advice here. I started buying gold about 4 years ago, it was around $750 then, and silver was $12-ish. The greatest part about this though, is that it is combined with a passion for classic US coinage that have history in circulation use from our ancestors. These classic coins, many can be had for no more premium over melt than a gold maple leaf or american eagle or any other modern forms of gold. I'm putting together a roll of common half eagles, and another thing I am jumping into as well is heavily circulated CC Morgan dollars, which can be had now at modest premiums over melt. The fact that I enjoy classic coin collecting, AND am investing in metals that have been considered hard money long before the dollar bill existed is like killing 2 birds with one stone. |

But in the end, the important thing is stacking. Forget selling high, buying low, just stack, and one day you will look up and you will have so much gold and silver you can do whatever you want. I had a woman look at a $500 ring every time she came in. I suggested layaway. No, she was gonna buy it with her student loan, school grant, Christmas bonus, tax refund, etc. Six years later, she was unhappy because I sold "her" ring. I asked her if she realized that if she paid $2 a week, she'd have owned it a year ago? |

They dropped a 50 THOUSAND dollar bill on him on the way out, and his insurance helps but he does have to pay (or the family now) 20% off the top.... Went to see mom one dasy. Heard step, step, step, thump. OK, odds about 99.99% she's dead. If I had any sense, I'd have called the doc. Called 911, they got her breathing again. BTW, that last 8 hours will cost you $1000 an hour, even with a quality of life of exactly zero. |

If called in, they have to try to revive. They cannot declare the person dead. A doctor can say "show's over" and the billing clock stops.

Legally, a doc has to sign off on whether or not someone is dead... and even they miss the call once in a great while. There have been a few strange occurrences where a person appeared to be dead but was not. Their pulse and respiration were extremely slow but not zero.  |
