Never, ever worry about being a good worker bee, it literally doesn't pay. I was stubborn and didn't understand this until I literally get laid off for absolutely nothing I could control.

I've been here before /pmg/ and i tell you this: some silver stackers in this thread look a lot like the Gamestop/BBBY/NFT crowd. Like a lot.

No, that is a rumor perpetrated by left wing pinkos to cripple the free markets.
You aren't allowed to leave.

Call him a faggot next!
Then call him a fudder.
Then a tranny, for good measure!
Keep going, it's working!

Why is there no nazi gold? Are you poor?

>>56152423
And yet you enjoy the retards, admit it.

>>56152427
That is because the Chinese can't invest their money into anything, real estate is failing hard, they aren't allowed to invest in stocks in the west, so they want to buy gold. As they are not allowed to buy gold where it's cheapest, the prices drift apart.
If you think this is China winning, i have a flying carpet to sell to you!

Don't forget that some of us just like to look at shiny stuff, without subscribing to the silver squeeze circle-jerkers.

>my first gold coin is coming in soon
What did you order? Exited? :-)

>>55253614
50 here.
I started over several times. It is what it is.
Now my body is failing. Heart is too weak, leaves water in my feet. High blood pressure. Bad eyesight. It is what it is.
Still, it's better than not existing at all.
