[QUOTE="Gnomey, post: 1938796, member: 71005"]Back to my original stance, I am still hesitant of SDBs. I don not feel "comfortable" with my PM in my safe either. I guess there is risk either way, although maybe more so in one arena than the other. The clencher for me though is this: at least if my PM gets taken from my home, It was my decision to keep it there. I trust myself and my wife, and I trust our decision making abilities. If my decision gets my stash stolen, well it's on me. I just don't like the idea of my stuff being in the hands of a bank, although we all know we can trust the banks ;) My problem with banks is that if we face an economic collapse of some sort which causes our country to face a period of "chaos" where our social infastructure crumbles, I don't want to be left with nothing because I cant get into a bank vault. Now I know most of you believe this is far-fetched or maybe that it's some sort of sensationalism, but the best part about our country is that every person has the right to believe what they wish and act on matters such as this in a way that is comfortable to them. I am not trying to convince anyone to believe what I believe. I am just giving my reasoning for keeping my stuff locked in my safe at home. I may however find a happy compromise and maybe do a 50/50 split with an SDB after this thread. That seems reasonable to me since I just had my will drafted and will be keeping it in an SDB anyways.[/QUOTE]
