If we really wanted to save for retirement, we would just not eat....
It is all about decisions, and what you need now, and what you can get later.
I know people who sold their houses and got into cryptos... the only problem is, it has been a long wait, and probably still a little bit more... then they will be able to have all the houses they want.
But how much was the discomfort worth?
People are so used to cash, that even after the banks close down, or FED goes out of business, people will probably still accept cash for transactions for at least a few months.
However, i find it weird that people still take cash, and still put their money in banks, when banks are showing that they aren't going to give it back...
Also, how much is silver worth when you need one ounce to build your Nikola Tesla-Otis Flying car?
