Just paid off 14k/22k of debt. All thats left is a low interest car loan and I am debt free for the first time since adulthood (10+ years). With COVID and my first baby born in Winter 2019 nonetheless! Thank you Jesus, thank you Dave Ramsay and thank you GAW!!! Oh and I made some silver investments too ?

Congratulations. It is a wonderful feeling to be debt free. I got there a few years back and have done everything I can to stay out of debt. Even purchased my last truck with cash. The dealership where I got it was a bit freaked out but all good.

I also want to get land but have been holding off. The market is so high right now that I think it is foolish to buy. I said this before and I don't see how these prices can be maintained but the Fed is a strange beast. They will prop up the market until there is no more market I guess. Maybe then I will be buying with silver.

The exodus out of blue states is causing the red areas to inflate in price while China steps in and purchases the empty property in blue states to maintain high inflated prices there too. Once this dam breaks America will throw China out of our country and lots of vacant space will open up to folks like you and me looking for an acre to grow some tomaters on ?? IN JESUS NAME!!! ☺️??

I love the crossover from WSS to GAW.

I linked Happy Hawaiians DD in this thread, maybe it should be its own post.

Someone accused me of being a shill for worthless metals.

The same place that agrees there is a deepstate, that all wars are banker wars, that printing money as we are is the beginning of an economic spiral as we have seen time and time again, that wants to end the fed, you'd think more people would make the logical connection to stock up on precious metals which would literally be backing our currency if not for globalists.

Shit, our quarters and dimes before 1965 were made of 90% silver for christ's sake. They hekd their value because they were the actual metal. $1 in 1964 quarters is worth about $20 now because of the silver content.

Once COMEX flinches and JPM and co switch to long from shorts, those 4 silver quarters will be worth a hell of a lot more.

Borrowing and lending, through efficient and transparent markets, have been a massive contributing factor to our nation’s and our civilization’s simply-incredible ingenuity, opportunity and progress. Borrowing and lending are not inherently bad; far from it.

However living continually in debt, by spending wastefully, and beyond one’s means, is sinful, destructive, and enfeebling. Of this there is no doubt.

I believe what you say to be true. Corruption at all levels of our society is the true issue. Utopia would actually be achievable if it weren't for corruption. That said, GET PHYSICAL! Get it now!

– BasedInFact 6 points 5 years ago +6 / -0

We are all corrupt. We are all sinners. There will be no utopia on earth; any promises of such are destructive lies, as anybody witness to (especially recent) history must be painfully aware.

The best and most successful and most humane and least corrupt forms of government and civic order, because they are based on the true (Biblical) awareness of man’s fallen nature (and his inherent value), explicitly seek to protect from the tyranny that a desire for order has the potential to turn into.

With hyperinflation on the horizon, the peasants are about to get a lot richer (as their debt gets wiped out). Anyone who has their money in cash will get hit (not the rich, they have their money in assets which will continue to be worth whatever they were worth before). If you do have lots of cash, look into converting it to something real.

I am by no means an expert so I cannot tell you exactly what is the best course of action. Even if I was an expert, there is no advice guaranteed to work in all circumstances. You should do your own research on this topic and seek out the opinion and advice of people you trust and have knowledge in this area.

Having said the above, it does not take an expert to know that if the government keeps printing lots of cash and that cash is backed by nothing, it will depreciate at some point. This happened in the inter-war German state and Venezuela more recently.

Whether an investment account will be safe depends on a few factors. If the cash is depreciated but the economy doesn't completely collapse, then if you purchased stocks in a company, assuming that company continues to exist and is still viable, it may retain its value. You have to keep in mind that some companies may weather high inflation better than others. You'd have do your own research on that and even then, there are no guarantees (law of unintended consequence could boost some stocks and collapse others, and these are not easy to predict). On the other hand, if society completely collapses, all bets are off. Depending on the type of collapse and what institutions survive, no one can say what will retain value (Except perhaps for emergency food rations, the ones that don't go bad for a long time. Economic collapses inevitably create food shortages so food will have value as long as it doesn't spoil.).

Physical gold and silver is probably a good bet if you can get it at a good price. However, there is 1 catch for these items. Corrupt governments have historically stolen gold and silver from people when they took power. They did exactly this during the Russian revolution when they needed money. If you do acquire physical gold or silver, hide it well and the less people know about it, the better.

Gonna hijack this to show you just how manipulated silver is right now. This guy's analysis is a dissertation in itself but well worth the read.

There's a fight between JP Morgan + major banks vs us. They've been hoarding and hammering silver to short and long in cycles through ETFs (fake silver stocks)

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/mbx510/slv_is_a_complete_scam_its_a_scalp_trade_set_up

Get in while it's cheap. Banks are keeping price hammered low while they try to get out of their short positions but supply is being bought up by more and more everyday people.

Vaults that were allocated and assured were sold and emptied because they never thought people would catch on and start buying up. Read for yourself and get in while it's so cheap.

Fiat currency is worthless and inevutably collapses as it's backed by debt

Right, but your point hinges on it being a doomsday scenario in which case we would have much bigger concerns anyway. Chances are most people would be dead almost immediately.

Too many people seem to think the world is either going to be the way it is now or WW3/I am Legend/ Mad Max, etc. with no thought of it being somewhere in between. Dismissing crypto out of hand because "what about WW3" is kind of a silly fallback argument because you can use the same logic to argue against precious metals and the like too.

Debt is good.

Used to be Dave Ramsey type.

Needed! To be Dave Ramsey type. However after cleansing my debt and living debt free I started to understand how to appropriately use debt and that has made me much more wealthy.

Most people don't have the eye or the habits to control debt though.

You must first know how to make your money work. How to use it to make grab an oppurtunity. How to turn your own money into more money. How to turn your money into time. Which will then let you get more money.

Then however, you can learn how to use someone else's money to make you money. Learn how to use someone else's money to give you time. And then keep your money safe.

It's only risky if you let it be. If you have money, take on as much debt as you currently have money. Congratulations now you currently have two of yourself in terms of money. Can you use the second "clone" of you to make you more money than you borrowed to create it? Could you use that clone to make you a machine that gave you more money even after the clone was dead? Could you use the clone to give you more time to learn new things? New things that will make you more valuable?

If you could make a clone that built a machine that shit out the cost of your monthly grocery budget would you?

Would you do it again after that? What if you had enough machines to pay for everything in your budget?

What if you could have a clone to make the machines and a clone to give you more time throughout your day?

How much could you do if you had all your needs met and 24 hours in a day all to yourself?

Then the question is, would you actually do anything at all? Most don't. But if you learn how to use debt you can at least get to this point.

Small loan if a million dollars... How do you make it make you 1.1million dollars? How do you make a dollar make you $1.10? How do you do it if that dollar is not yours?

The NESARA brand of hopium comes with erasure of all consumer and student loan debt, a return to gold-backed currency, and the end of the Fed and IRS and central banks. Presumably the ones who had been able to pay their debts prior to the jubilee would be reimbursed in an equitable manner for doing the right thing.

They speak of trillions in seized assets from countries and individuals involved in crimes against humanity.

A surprisingly large number of people seem to believe it is actually true.
