I never was good at cleaning up the place.

But I can offer a notion that is more... constructive?  Yes, I think that is what I shall call it.  No, it isn't my idea, only... well... depending on some things, it is what I am doing.  Sure, getting in debt to build wealth is always... questionable.  However, if the dollar is anti-wealth, than borrowing to create wealth is what?  But it goes beyond owning a home.  My life is based on buying things that do things, create things, provide sustenance, among other real and positive things.  Sure, my system is not perfect.  No system is perfect.  Not in design or implementation.  We are not perfect beings, yet.  Ah, enough of my blathering and on to the show.

By the way, raising a family is more valuable, pound for pound, than gold for wealth production.  I am speaking, strictly, in economic terms over the period of generations.  When I was younger I didn't know if marriage was the 'silver bullet' I was supposed to dodge or seek.  It is the one you should seek.  Trust me on this one.  So long as it is a productive marriage.  Otherwise it's a crapshoot.

Oh, and by the way?  Gold is tanking and can't be trusted to save you financially anyway.  Only the family that isn't created is tanking "the family".  I mean, if you have a family?  It doesn't tank even should the marriage end.

Good night.
