“College education in America has taken a turn for the worst. High levels of student debt, decreasing standards, lack of funding and a growing number sites, such as this one offering access to accredited college degrees online for students, are reshaping the educational landscape.”

Thank you for sharing this Anthony. I just finished watching the documentary and it’s definitely one that makes you understand that college isn’t worth it the way things currently stand. Definitely makes me rethink spending another two years getting a degree and racking up the debt even further.
So Anthony, would you consider getting a degree in engineering or another real world applicable degree to be worthwhile for going to college for anyone? I’m beginning to think it makes more sense to learn everything possible online or from the library or other books and then find an appropriate job and work there for actual experience as soon as possible. Just curious where you’re thinking is at.
Once again, thanks for these kind of thought-provoking posts and video uploads.
Yes, very specific degrees, with very real and applicable purposes, may be worth obtaining. Keyword there is “may”. The question everyone must answer for themselves is: how real of a threat is hyperinflation of the USD, how will that affect me if/when it does happen, and what do I need to be doing about that scenario right NOW?
As the video discussed, college is not only directly expensive, but indirectly as well by sucking up all of your time, effort, creativity, intellect, and income you could be making during your time spent in school (which can be used to prep for hyperinflation, make investments, start a business, etc).
glad I dropped out…the only way people are going to get jobs are if they create jobs…America needs a fresh wave of entrepeneurship
Bollocks. Dream the more I read your blog the more paranoid I get. I think I have some work to do…
why do they suggest silver over gold?
@MikeG
some people think silver is undervalued right now, it’s usually tied to gold and the ratio is offset. Right now it’s correcting, but you can best your money that it will continue to rise. I sold two weeks ago, right before this correction, I’m planning on buying more now.
I’m beginning to invest in silver an potentially gold. At current prices I can afford to purchase 2oz of silver with each monthly wage. I’m presuming this is more advisable than waiting and hoarding enough fiat currency to then buy in bulk? If I buy now even a small amount and prices rise it will probably work out better than waiting and buying in bulk even despite getting a better price per oz.
Thoughts anyone?
As much as you can as fast as you can.
I took out a student loan and used to invest in gold

What happens when everyone who’s ever wanted to buy does so and there’s nobody left to hop on the bus? How will price go up? Do fundamentals drive price or do the buyers/sellers acting on it? Who are the buyers and sellers? Where is the pain threshold for those already on the bus? What happens when for some its hit? What happens if (despite how good/bad the fundamental picture is) some reach their “uncle” point? When price goes lower due to this, will more “uncle” points be reached? What happens then?
Gold and silver have pretty stagnant values — it’s the value of the fiat US dollar that is falling through the floor.
Get out while you still can.
If precious metals acquire a monetary premium, which is highly probable, their value will skyrocket.
Another good option is gold and silver mining stocks that pay dividends. Owning stock in mining companies gives you a claim on metals that are still in the ground, and these historically do better than the metals themselves in bull markets. If you guys haven’t I highly recommend reading Peter Schiff’s books (Schiff is Ron Paul’s economic advisor and a hero straight out of Atlas Shrugged).
I honestly do not understand how it makes sense to purchase silver?
Why not only buy gold or is there a chance of silver surpassing gold?
Looking for insight please.
Silver is less expensive and a lot more practical when the coins themselves are bartered. You can’t really barter gold for most of the things you need to buy since an ounce is worth $1,500+.
Do you really think that if the dollar collapsed and we had a huge economic collapse that people would trade worthless silver and gold for something that is actually valuable in an end times scenario like ammo, food, gas?
Yes to everything except the part about gold and silver being worthless.
