I guess I preset a picture older than I am. No, I'm nowhere near retired, in fact I only worked at the bell system for 6 years and got kicked out because iCarly decided to push GAAP off a cliff. I probably have 20 more years to work before I could even consider retiring if I just don't ride a white pony to heaven because my body fell apart.
I have plenty of silver in my warchest, both in junk and bar form. I know what it would be worth if the economy went to shit - my ability to fix your wall outlets, switches, and furnace will be of far more value than a silver quarter. I stand by my statement in liquidity, it's hard to get rid of except to certain entities, and certainly not in a hurry. For that, I have other things.

Glad I'm wrong.

Tangible skills are always greater and more secure than wealth, absolutely. To accumulate wealth without would be foolish. However there becomes a point where you can save, when there, you should save in silver due to how undervalued it is compared to gold.

That's why you don't get rid of it. It is a store of value to carry your wealth through the inevitable collapse of the dollar. The other side will be begging for hard assets once this occurs.
