Die owing money; it’s the only way to beat the system...
Well one way or the other. Either be at one end of the scale and owe loads and own nothing. Or owe nothing and own lots of increasing assets with zero debt.

Anything in-between seems always weaker but is most of the population I guess. Or at least most of the upper working and lower middle class.

I have no problem with people expressing opinions. Thats excellent and healthy.
This forum has a multitude of knowledge and we can all Combine it to the common good,
Dare I say it.
Profit,
Maybe a thread is needed, what we know and how we can all benefit.
Morally correct too!

Excellent; someone at Whitehall is looking into a post apocalypse scenario, I should bl00dy well hope they are, fail to prepare/prepare to fail and all that. It clearly says at the bottom 'for discussion - not gov't policy'

Flippin heck; we are all equipped to be rapists & murderers but most of us end up mildly perverted at best!

Back to the tits please!

Well u didn’t really.
My friend u thought itwas going sub 800...


I actually said :-

I can see it falling back to around the $800 an ounce figure before a concerted rise. (of course I may be wrong and often am, but DYOR as always).

$829 it went to. Wasn't too far out. Bearing in mind this was Feb 2016, and the price was up around $890.

I think I was pretty much spot on with the rest.

Makes a change that someone in the Government is making preparations.....

Where would you go Jon?

With the impending collapse of Europe, it’s looking safer to go further afield. Genuinely interested. Canada has always been a safe bet.

Top choices outside the EU would be:

Australia - Sidney, Melbourne, Adelaide
Canada - Toronto, Vancouver
USA - San Francisco, Los Angeles, or back to New York Metro

Having said that I’m not so pessimistic and down on Europe’s prospects as many are, so I wouldn’t rule out somewhere in Europe.

If we do Brexit and fall into recession, there’s the visa issue to think about, need a fair wedge to be granted a settlement visa if one is ‘of an age’

£2m or so I reckon.

Think u know me better than most, Geoff (Mark) and u started this thread...... wow, what a thread!
My point is that this forum has a wealth of expertise, and wealth.
I sincerely hope no one takes expressions of such here offensively and
I hope everyone here knows that’s not the intent.
We all have opinions, and I would say is let’s combine that knowledge for the common good.

Well obviously I would punt Oz.
Sydney and Melbourne are nice but pricy (due a crash)
Haven’t been to Adelaide.

That’s a good point but if politicians had been honest from day 1 this would have come as no surprise. It’s not project fear, it’s project prepare. The fear is from those wishing to remain.
Leavers see it as preparation.

Europe doesn’t want us to leave. Indeed they don’t allow anyone to leave.
Our previous inept Pm effectively removed “no deal” from her negotiation and subsequently negotiated a dreadful deal -without threatening we would walk if it wasn’t better.
This was overwhelmingly rejected, 3 times.

Remember leaving with no deal isn’t in Europe’s interests too.....which is why a better deal is required.
At the moment, the current deal is 90/10 in the Eu favour.
That could plummet to 0/0 in no deal
Or it could go 60/40 with a renegotiation which with Europe’s current economic situation would be better for them.

Europe has to accept that countries may wish to leave.

spending billions preparing for such is prudent- fact is it should have been done from day 1.
