VITAL SURVIVAL LINK: Suze Orman Says Save First!

Gold is the money of kings.

Silver is the money of gentlemen.

Barter is the money of peasants.

Debt is the money of slaves.

If you’re in debt now or have ever been, you know that it is nothing short of financial slavery.  Suze Orman has always recommended, “Pay off debt!”, but now with our shaky economy and job market, she has a different take on things.  Read her advice here.  It contains a lot of wisdom for these changing times.

Remember, the hard goods you have been stocking up on are an insurance policy against difficult times.  If you have enough food and supplies to last three months, you’ll need that much less actual cash saved.  By the way, it’s a good idea to have cash on hand in different denominations as well as a few rolls of quarters.  America has experienced “bank holidays” in the past, and it’s not unthinkable that it could happen again.
