I don't invest in it

But I have some jewelry and scraps I put away. When I see prices like that, I wonder what would be better to do. So far, I don't need the cash, and my stash stays put away.

I've lived under the shadow of economic disaster for as long as I remember. It doesn't worry me as much as it used to. I do wish that humans could look forward to Candyland instead of apocalypse.

I have toilet paper left over from the Covid shortage What a world!


Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
