<p>[QUOTE=&quot;passantgardant, post: 1142027, member: 30033&quot;]I agree with that too.&nbsp;&nbsp; I just don&#039;t think college is a slam-dunk investment for everyone.&nbsp; I&#039;m still helping my wife pay her student loans and she now runs a business that has nothing to do with her degree, plus she&#039;d like to sell that and be a stay-at-home mom.&nbsp; I know others who got liberal arts degrees and now work in fast food.&nbsp; So it only makes sense for some people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I never said precious metals need be your foremost investment or insurance for monetary collapse.&nbsp; In fact, there are plenty of other things you should put first, including efficiency and energy-producing improvements on your home, the tools necessary to produce at least some of your own food, one or more guns, ammo, and safety and marksmanship classes, home maintenance and cleaning supplies, tools and supplies to maintain your vehicles, a stockpile of nonperishable food items, etc.&nbsp; Only after you&#039;ve done those things, you should have physical silver in your possession (bolt-down safe), and gold in a foreign vault.&nbsp; This is so that you can buy things locally no matter what happens to the Dollar, and you could flee with nothing but the clothes on your back if you had to and start a life overseas.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Any investments in precious metals beyond that are just for speculation to make a profit.&nbsp; Obviously, the resources spent on this portion (which is clearly less critical than those purchased as insurance) must be weighed against other investments, including in family, friends, and community.&nbsp; Investments in family, friends, and community might include spending time educating them about these issues.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
