Yesterday, I made the Big Leap.

My Red Witch and I cashed in my insurance annuity. Kept a minor amount of cash in the bank and got a Cashier's check made out to my LCD with the rest. Got some silver rounds, Valcambi fractional gold slabs, and junk silver.

I call it my Big Leap, because yesterday was the day I stopped stacking. I started when I bought my first Krugerrrands for $198 including vigorish. That was 1978, IIRC.

I am now off the "system". No mortgage, no debts. Dollars only kept for the Interim**

**Interim until dollars equal bolivars and pengoes.

For those with annuities, or savings in banks or mattresses, know this:

The US Federal Debt-to-GDP Ratio:

34.74%
in 1960.

54.91% in 2000 <-- Notice the 20% baad rise in forty years.

But now, Pilgrims, we come to the crashing end of the US Dollar :

122.17% <-- The Federal debt exceeds the GDP!!

The Old Guy has told you. Are you Listening with a capital "L"? How much time do think you have?
It's nice to be off the system, aye.
I've been that way for 8 years now

I just had to deal with that again. This time on my chest where I abused the sun in my younger days. The doc gave me this chemo cream. Put it on twice a day for about 3 weeks. Gets worse before it gets better. Draws all that junk out and killed it. No scarring either like from cutting or out or freezing it off.
