<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1392680, member: 3011&quot;]Of course, that brings up the question of how many people save money in this manner?&nbsp; And how many of the ones who do so aren&#039;t mentally challenged in some way?&nbsp; Even the New Testament speaks out against burrying money instead of at least earning bank interest, so it is an old problem with a well known solution -- invest the money someplace.&nbsp; Gold and silver have been decent holdings as have investment real estate, land, stocks, bonds, and practically any other asset [which is the theoretical basis for asset allocation].&nbsp; I read once [but can&#039;t recall the source] that Ben Franklin believed a gradually depreciating currency would be good for the economy because it would force people to either spend it or invest it in productive assets.&nbsp; I happen to believe that gold and silver make perfectly good money.&nbsp; But it just isn&#039;t the only way to run an economy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
