That's the right perspective. The ONLY reason I took my last job was because I wanted to stack up more physical silver. Honestly, I didn't "NEED" the extra money. I have learned to get by with my current, fixed income. The addition of any extra funds was simply to better prepare myself for a possible financial armageddon. It may, or may not happen. But, if it does, at least I know that right now I am able to survive it for 2 or 3 months longer than the average person in my country. That's not much - but it's much more than I used to have.
Whether or not you decide to put your money into physical, bullion assets, or some cryptocurrencies - it's a safer bet than the U.S. Dollar, at this point. Keep up the good work!
