Need financial advice, what about my savings?

[AlphaCentauri]

Should I invest in gold? or exchange them for euros?

any ideas?

[MichaelHarris]

1. I'm buying

wheat. It's abundant, it's right next to me, and I can eat it.

2. Are you related to Zonker Harris?

He had a wheat patch at Walden Pond.

5. yes he sure did

poor Zonk had millions, but now has a Mcjob....

[MichaelHarris]

9. wheat and

pot, that's all we really need.

12. Cereals? not a bad idea.

food shortage and labor may increase the price of those products

3. My savings are in a coin sorter in the dining room

So I can't help you.

7. My savings are in dollar coins

I figure if the economy tanks, I can at least melt them down or use them with a slingshot

4. Go to Suse Orman's web page she is offering ideas for these "troubled" times.

6. Must be nice to have a savings

:(

Not shitting on you at all btw (I know it's just a matter of time till we get there), just pointing out those of us who don't and beating the real Debbie Downers to this thread.

I'd advise withdrawing it and keeping it under your mattress. :D

8. invest in coffee can and mattress futures! Actually i'm going to find a local credit

union and see what they ahve to offer, they seem a bit more stable.

10. Both gold/silver and euros are a good idea.

Food, guns, ammo, fuel.

11. I tell you what I did....

....I took what little I have out of everything with a 'wait and see' attitude (I'll forgo the puny interest)....they may inflate/devalue my dollars or they may try to tax them away....

....if they inflate, I'll rapidly purchase things I need and can trade....if they try to tax, I'll be broke....

WARNING: I don't know the slightest thing about investing....I'm going solely with my gut and what I think is a street-wise solution....
