I don't like the banks. Sure, I have some money in there, but most is in metals, silver and gold, and a little crypto. The metals make me feel a little safer as I can access it immediately. A few phone calls and it's cash in hand.
Most people don't know what's going on with their money and figure it's safe in the bank. It is not.
The seek to control us, as with governments and media so the trillionaire's make more, and the billionaire's become trillionaire's on our backs. COVID is good for business too.
These days a little person (like me) is better off not planning ahead, investing, as the hand-out society rewards that more than planning ahead financially. Still, I'm a slow learner and I plan ahead for my financial security, whilst paying taxes for those who don't. I must be dumb.
