Contrary to what you will see on the TV ads, today's best investment is not gold. Not by a long sight, in my opinion. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BUY SOMETHING AT IT'S ALL TIME HIGH PRICE?
If any money is being made on gold, besides the commissions on those selling gold, it is probably by those "nice" people who would like to buy your mother's wedding band. They will pay you "top" price. Why? Why else? They like you! They like you!

SURE!
I am going to make a modest investment today that will give me a 100% return on my investment this year. I'll share my tip.
I bake pies. It is one of my few skills that brings great joy to me. Truly, it is better to give than to receive and I love giving folks one of my home made pies.

I use two cans of water packed, sour cherries for each pie. Receipts only call for one can but I like the pies to be full of cherries and use two cans. My good wife, Julie, and I carefully check the many sheets of advertisement that comes in the mail each week. I missed the adv on cherries in the local Acme Store. Julie called it to my attention

Is that worth a blog? It is if you multiply it by every bit of food you buy. I'm not a betting man but if I were I wouldn't hesitate to wager that in the next year toilet paper prices will come close to being double today's prices. Want to make a quick $100? If I'm right, simply pick up a dozen cases of TP at Sam's club, store it away and wait.

In the past year I had the extreme pleasure of helping out a grand child when her husband lost his job and money was tight, a common occurrence recently for a lot of people. I spent a few dollars on fresh fruit and dairy products but otherwise I simply "rotated" my stores and took her several cases of vegetables, meats and such. Surprised at the case lots, I assured her that they had just come off the shelves at home.

My ability to buy case lots is a mental attitude. I PAY MYSELF FIRST. Do you do that? Or, do you pay everyone else, people you don't even like, and pay yourself with what is left? If you paid yourself first, even at a modest one-third of minimum wage, $2.40 a day, and you watched the ads for half price cherries, or what have you, you could buy a case of cherries each month.
Vegetables, at sale prices, in low costs stores like SAVE-A-LOT or ALDIS, are around $5.88, or less, a case. At one third of an hours pay at minimum wage you could easily have the peace of mind of food on hand if the world comes to a halt--like it has in my life time. You can buy a case of Tomato or Chicken Noodle soup at Sam's for around $6 a case. If you pay yourself first, you can have the security of this great food at all times.
IT REALLY IS JUST A MATTER OF ATTITUDE! Pay yourself first.


BUT THEN, WHAT DO I KNOW?

I also cling to my Bible and my guns.
AND I HAVE A BIG, MEAN DOG. Watch'em Gunner!
NUFF SAID?
Take care and God Bless!
I cant imagine why you would want to know but the number one song in 1931, the year I was born, was "Life is just a Bowl of Cherries".
