I have some decent land. I should be good where I'm at.
I'd say be prepared. The dollars inevitable collapse is ahead.

Well, here's the good thing about backing up SOME of your money with something useful:
The only way gold will become useless is never. It has an extremely high resistance to corrosion, it is attractive to humans (seems like a natural attraction...not a social one...kind of like beetles to a beer bottle), has one of the highest electrical conductance abilities at STP (silver is another that it can go back and forth with at different temperatures), is widely used in electronics (short of a nuclear war and the wiping out of most humans, gold will remain useful in electronics for hundreds to thousands of years from now...even to a god-like AI that might take over everything), is highly malleable at STP making it easier to mold into things, has really high reflectivity and is used in spacecrafts because of that, used in the medical field due to it not being toxic and the electronic uses (and does not "sublimate" hardly at all at STP), and for uses in ion lasers (laser? **** yeah!).
Gold is only a single example of something that could be used to back money. I used that because of the obvious uses of gold in that particular category, already. Also, because it is relevant to this thread due to Ron Paul's bownar for gold-backed money.

Yes. Cool.
I hope you have many a gun and bullets to hold onto that silver, cos when the economy collapses and it's anarchy in the USA, you'll need them. Mitsubishi, BMW and Benz.
