My debt has reached an outragous level today. Unspeakable, really. It is laughable to me that just a little while ago I was considering buying gold bullion as an investment. As the last press release from Monex made clear, buying “gold has been recognized for centuries as one of the best ways to preserve one’s wealth and purchasing power . . . In all ages, man has been fascinated with the beauty and magic of gold, and with its power to change men’s lives.” Boy, I could certainly change my life if some of that magic would come my way! Especially because I’m still waiting on back pay from work, and earning credit card interest all the while. Apparently I can’t pay my bills with the sweetness and light of my smile . . .
