The cash4gold is a form of pawn shop w/the convenience of not leaving your home. As we all know, convenience costs more.

That said, to me, investing in metals is merely an effort to preserve some of your monetary wealth. But just as important, if not more, is investing in tangibles, tools & other hardware for gardening, building, clean water, animal husbandry, etc. which I'm doing.

It just makes sense that while I'm living in an environment away from any large city, to use the land for food production, stocking the pond, creating backup energy and such.

And to the yes/no list of skills... mine are the same as yours Ttc except for the last one, dieing < I'm not so sure I will do that well.

Another item to add to the list: Are you a good neighbor? Can you be trusted w/ & cows? I thank Norval for that one. My answer to this is a big Yes as well.
