Northfield,NH USA | Is anyone keeping more cash around the house like I am or wondering when they make a deposit if they will see that money again?
I heard the other day the Treasury's 3 month (bills?) were paying 0% and people were still buying them. I remember reading that during the Depression people bought government notes at NEGATIVE interest and I thought THAT would never happen again. HA!
For the folks that have entered a response to Karls original question...... How long do you think you will be out? Can you survive in your occupation or will you need to find other work?
I live in a HUGE tourism state and I think this will be ugly for at least 2 years.

I live in a HUGE tourism state and I think this will be ugly for at least 2 years. I think The City of London will be a nightmare for at least the next 12 months; they are just not hiring in my salary range at present. I am expecting not to find "proper" work for at least another 12 months; maybe something will come along; I think the UK is in big crap for at least 2-4 years, but some of the banks will start re-hiring when they can get SOME finance and start some speculative trading again.

I live in a HUGE tourism state and I think this will be ugly for at least 2 years. Gold, gold, gold. But be sure to pick up the coins and know they are real and yours. Do not trust any agency to hold them for you. Am I paranoid or what?...that doesn't mean they won't wrought us when it comes to the pinch. Bet the manufacturers of safes are having a bumper year. | | | Re: Anybody else unemployed?

Detroit, MI | South Africa still makes Krugerrands. But you can buy Canadian Maple Leafs: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.goldnuggetshop.com/images/gold-maple-leaf-coin-back.jpg) (known for their high purity) and even American Eagles / Buffalos: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.astrologyzine.com/images/gold-coin-american-eagle-2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.austincoins.com/coins/Gold-Buffalo-Coins-250w.jpg) I've got a handful of pre-1933 double eagles that my grandfather squirreled away: ![[Linked Image]](http://ansmagazine.com/winter07/stgaudens14.jpg) The St. Gauldens dougle eagle is one of the most beautiful coins ever made. | | | Re: Anybody else unemployed?

Naples, FL | I would venture a guess that firearm manufacturers are having a brisk year with the rumors spreading about the incoming US administration. Perhaps the rumors were started BY the manufacturers to boost sales.. Anyone want to sell their rocket launcher, or medium range cruise missile? I'm sure they'd be great for "home defense"...

South Florida & the Keys | I AGREE W' H1616. my wife is a realtor in South Florida. Her strategy is to continue putting cash into her marketing program as other realtors start to conserve. So far it is working, phone keeps ringing, closings keep happening. In the long run she will reap more benefits from being the dominant name in the area when the economy recovers.
