Gold isn't a get rich quick scheme. It the equivalent of having a bomb shelter in your backyard in case of WW3. Or a secret island to scuttle off to in case the society collapses. Gold is a lifeline in case the currency suddenly becomes worth less than toilet paper.


The fact that some people feel the need to own gold, as insurance against systemic collapse, does tend to bother people who consider it their job to keep the system afloat.
But it won't take much for a corrupt government to turn around and make a law to seize all gold from the people. The so called greatest president in history signed an EO in 1933 making possession of gold by the citizens illegal. You don't think a future presidency won't do the same thing again? Especially if a war breaks out?

Arn't safe deposit boxes in banks?



When civilization crashes, I don't think the banks will be open.

I am a Costco member and didn't even know they sold gold. I wonder why someone would buy gold from them, as the price of gold is at market price, so what advantage would a member have to buy it from them instead of some other gold broker?

I prefer smaller denominations that are easier to spend...like Silver Eagles. Today's value for a Silver Eagle coin is ~$33.00

Just about right for gas and groceries.

Better hope the FBI never raids the company where your box is like these people. They eventually got their things back anyone who had cash in the boxes never got the money back they kept it.

LAWSUITS ABOUT FBI WARRANTLESS SEARCH OF SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES ALLOWED TO PROCEED

If you have it at a bank like Wells Fargo look at the fine print agreement they can hand it over to law enforcement without a warrant.

Welcome to the Jimmy Biden years of stagflation. High, persistent inflation, low growth, and lots and lots of people underemployed working multiple PT jobs, gig economy jobs to make ends meet.

#Bidenomics at work, folks.

I wouldn't count on that. Biden is just a symptom; our government right or left will just keep digging a deeper hole.

Mine is 1 mile from home, & if things get dicey, I'll be there in 5 minutes.

I got this covered. Lots of non perishable foods, & ways to defend it all, with lots of like-minded neighbors.

I'm prepped to the hilt...are you?

Lower premium over spot price than some dealers.

Gold is good, but silver is really where it's at. The most undervalued and neglected asset in the world. It is everything gold is, and much more.

If you can afford gold, you can afford a home safe (quality heavy safe, not the cheap rubbish). For that matter you can bury it in a secure container on your property where only your family knows where it is.
Banks can shutter in an instant, and there is no way you can be certain to catch wind of when "things get dicey" in time.
Then even if you do get it out, you still need the aforementioned to secure it.
