Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Who would've thought 9100$ for 1000 face junk? AMAZING in this little world.

I was never after wealth just the freedom to do my adventures, This isnt my hobby . Is it yours ? or do you have goals dreams, desires?

Whats your goal besides takin care of family which we all do naturally, what else?

Mybe its 'THE VOID IN NEED OF GOD THING ' . I dont know but were all searching and have a void that temperal things fill temporarily.

Are ther efloks here on GIM that can comunicate in this level?

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

My goal isn't money. I see the process as more important. I have no desire to be rich, but I do want what I have worked for to not be eaten away by inflation caused by the government printing money to fund wars in far off countries to secure the interests of a rich few.

I see holding the results of my work in precious metals as non-participation in fractional reserve banking system.

I'd say they don't even fill them temporarily. They just deceive us into thinking that the void is temporarily filled.

This may be speculation on my part.

Its been my experience that my reference to God has changed.

It seems like the world religion thing and diferent gods and allah and mohamed is dilluting America under One god thing.

The goal of Satan is to bring the salvation of Jesus to nothingness.

But for a good looking young woman I for one have everything that I need or want......when silver goes to $100,00 I'll have what I need to buy me my own small Island "Silver Island".......other that that I have no need or use for such a large ammount of money :bandito: I am very lucky :cheerful:

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Hell yeah, I'm not into speculating and investing for fun. I've been broke and I've had money, I'll take having money any day.

Money will get you all the 'things' you want, but not everything you want. In the final analysis, money is only one piece of the puzzle. If you focus on money too much, you neglect other important aspects of life that reduce your quality of life. No amount of money will make up for poor health, mental problems, relationship problems, unhappiness, internal ugliness, moral debauchery,etc.

It's all about balance and making the right moves at the right times.

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

My goal: financial stability. I have some debt. Not credit card or consumer debt. "Life kicks you in the ass" debt. If I can get back to zero, to have no obligations, I will feel truly free. Now, I am bound by these chains.

Being back to zero means my life back and the freedom to go where I want and do things besides what I do now because I have to. Anything after that is a bonus.

To some I'm sure this seems a small goal. To me, it's nearly everything.

My motivation is completely defensive. I am trying to save my ass from starvation and homelessness. I have no concrete plans for purchases in the future, except for food, water, and land.

The United States is mired in debt, completely dependent on petroleum, and with no plan to handle the end of petroleum and natural gas, which is coming. Since my relatives won't take any steps to prepare for this, and are looking forward to leasing their next vehicles, I am preparing to care for several people with the resources available to me alone. Women are also not helpful at this point: the girlfriend is only interested in her next trip to Europe, though she has no retirement savings and no health insurance.

This is akin to the situation with cabin depressurization on an airplane: secure your oxygen mask before helping to fit one on the child travelling with you.

Materialism is not even on my radar.

We went down in the canyon 3 miles , into the river canyon 2000 feet elevation drop , the headwaters, a shangrala down there.

I took a buddy I work with and he said how beautiful it was.

We went down early the first day got down in 2 hours and hiked the river that day, camped that night and spent all the next day exploring the river up and downstream.

"I was Home"

Then at 500 pm we made our way back out on the big hike out. It wasnt bad, we were in shape and jazzed about the trip.

We got to the top and got loaded up in my truck .

I got on the highway and we started home and my friend asked me why I'm so on edge and nervous! He said I really changed.

I told him I come way down to balance and calm down in nature and that highways and traffic and the whole work/culture pressure is destoying me.

So; I'm struggling to find my place. But isnt that whats its all about?



In other words guys; If you never really tasted nature PURE! You dont know what your missing. which Im missing.



Like Ponce is a perfect example; why live in a stress environment?

It comes down to the truth;, real money, real life, real allllllllllllllllllllllllll.

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Yes, money to save my own butt & wife's too. Hopefully help out some friends and family along the way.

But I also like to believe that by owning gold & silver, and talking it up, I am doing my small part to expose the global banking fraud. It is a vote of no confidence in the present system, and a vote in favor of constitutional money.

well put Gold miner.

Life - Self - Purpose - Direction.....

Engage
Enjoy
Appreciate
Experience
Learn
Teach
Grow and
Become

is the whole nine-yards. This process is all there is and in each person's (life) walk, needs to be fitted with all things the person values, believes, wants, and needs.

With me it's wealth preservation mainly. Also PM investing represents rebellion against TPTB. I'm not into materialism, not the keep-up-with-the-Joneses kind anyway. The notion that buying stuff or having stuff would make me feel good disappeared as soon as I was able to obtain it. I like having money to buy the best of foods.
To me wealth means certainty and freedom, at least as much as is possible in this day and age. It means not having to toil away in the shade of the bossmans index finger. It means my time is my own.

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Remember people that money is not the goal but the "means" to the goal.

I was on my hommock today with the build in CD player on and looking around and like I wrote at one time I was thinking how come I have what I have and what kind of good deed did I do in order to have all that I have, while I am not a millionaire I feel that I am "comfy" and do know where my next meal is coming from.........as a matter of fact I know where my meals for the next four years is coming from hahahahahaha (my survivalist food).

People spend a lot of money in order to come to this area on vacation and here I am on vacation 24/7, I am willing to kill in order tp protect not my property but to protect my home.

Here I live alone and with no stress (but for the one the G gives me) and I would like for everyone to live like I do, who knows, after WWIII you all might have the chance to do so :beer:

Luke 12:16-21

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. 17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’ 18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’
21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Agreed. Anything else is a luxury. Beans, bullets, and band-aids come first.

"In the world I see -- you're stalking elk through
the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center.
You will wear leather clothes that last you the rest of your
life. You will climb the wrist- thick kudzu vines that wrap
the Sears Tower. You will see tiny figures pounding corn and
laying-strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of the
ruins of a superhighway."

I agree with Nuggethunter. Once you've tasted the peace and tranquility of nature, you look at civilization in a whole new light.

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

The so called "civilization" sucks.....I would be willing to give up my comp in order to go back 100 years.

I will never live in a city, or even town, ever again :rant: :rant: :rant:

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

You are 100% correct on this. Jesus Christ is your answer.

"The truth is out there" as the saying goes is ironic since it's smack dab in front of your face.


John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Yep. Money for me. I got bored one summer and decided I'd see how much money I could make through investments. It went well. I developed a taste for having a crapload of cash on hand, and will never go back to paycheck-to-paypeck living. In this day and age, money means the freedom to do what you want. It also means you can better prepare for whatever is next.

Re: Our ultimate Goal is money NO?
 

Money is not my goal, it is a means to an end - peace of mind by having a safety net. Nature shows the benefits of storing resources for adverse times. Plants do it, animals do it, humans have the ability to choose whether or not they will do it, and forward-looking humans do. The fiat belief-system and its result has tricked society into thinking that saving is not needed anymore. Anything can be instantly obtained without exchange of real wealth. This unnatural state of affairs is an illusion that will one day evaporate.

Quotes from Fight Club?? I love GIM more by the day. Here's my addition:

"Man, I see in fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."

From your pissed off but hopefully-wised-up-financially gen Xer,

Panocrat.

BINGO! My thoughts too.
