In reply to the discussion: How many gold bars do you keep at home? [View all]mopinko
(74,100 posts)18. close as i ever came is a couple gold coins.
1 yr i gave my 3 daughters ea a maple leaf to b set aside as getaway money, aka the price of an abortion or a plane ticket.
my ex gave me a couple for xmas 1 yr, cuz he had no idea what to get me.
he acknowledged that it was also getaway money, that i had every right to have a ticket out, cuz he cd be a colossal asshole.
sadly my cleaning lady lifted it, but did not use it to get away.
til the zombie apocalypse makes it worthless, a bit of gold will get u from here to somewhere else.
where that asshole was planning to go, and y, w 3 kilo, i wd seriously like to know.
let me say that a bit more simply- gold is getaway money. y did he think he needed 3 kilos?

Well yes, but those gems must be set in gold for max effect. I'm awaiting my tiara.
