Have any links to this cheap IPhone and cheap 1GB data plan per month stuff? I have not done a lot of searching but some far, I have come up empty handed.
Well, of course it is packed considering there is only one apple store there. (I had this observation in the area I live in as well.) Contrast that with being able to buy a PC pretty much anywhere and you get the idea. Now, if it was not packed, then I would be concerned considering it is the only apple store in the area.
I am not in Canada so I probably will not have that deal available to me.
I wish I knew how to invest and move the money into various locations as the Wall street guys do. But, I haven't really learned how to stay ahead of the crowd to buy when they are all selling etc. So I've left my IRA money in mutual funds. I've lost as much as 30% when the market was bad and gained around 10% most years when I needed to buy another car or cover some college tuition for my kid. How does one buy silver or gold? Do they ship the gold bars to you in a box? Where do you store it at your house - in a safe? I have a trailer that can be in a fire at any time. I guess buying a really impressive (expensive) safe might do the trick. I don't know about those gold certificates that promise to show you the gold on demand and sell the certificates by the bushel. How does one deal with all the scams? I suppose I could just go to a jewelry store or coin collection store and overpay but have the gold in my hand. Then, when I need to buy food what do I do with the gold/silver. You can't eat the metal. Does everyone have guns in the house to protect the metal in the safe?
I can't just take out all the money from the IRA and buy gold with it. The taxes would be high. Since I live off disability, because I'm a type 1 diabetic, I can't take very much out of the IRA every year and stay under the poverty line. So, I can take a couple of thousand out without filing an income tax return. I'm OK as long as Social Security and Disability remain funded. Who knows how long that will last. The baby boomers are retiring. I wouldn't bury gold where someone else could come in the night and dig it up. That's just being so afraid that you hand them the chance to rob it. I'll keep it in mutual funds and hope the stock market boys protect their investments along with mine.
