Too much currency is being "printed" right now. It's not backed by silver or gold anymore and we potentially have a hyper-inflation ahead of us. True for the US and Europe, maybe true for SA too?

"Every 75 years there's a depression. The last depression was in 1930." - Robert Kiyosaki

And if you watched Carte Blanche tonight, you saw how many of us Saffers are losing our homes and how an economic expert predicted that the very rich won't be affected at all -- they know how to invest in equities. The middle-class will certainly suffer and the poor will feel it the worst.

It's already started with our poorer South Africans having a much harder time buying the bare necessities than they did 6-12 months ago.

Robert and his team predicted these things for the US and Europe in early January this year. It's time we wake up, get rid of debt and invest in something solid, something with real, constant value.

Precious metals and real estate don't gain or lose value -- they just get under- or over-valued!
If you can afford to buy small investment properties now, go around to local auctions and try snap some up. You're bound to find SOME deals where you can actually make a tiny profit on the buy and if you follow Robert's teachings, then you know that you make your money when you buy!

If you're like me, and you can't do that, then focus your energies on getting rid of your debt until you CAN do that. Start educating yourself, read the Rich Dad series of books and start being aware of your financial decisions.

Lastly, if you'd like to be put into contact with someone who can help you buy silver and gold, let me know. I have a contact who runs seminars and advises people on how to invest in Gold, specifically.

PS: I'm no expert but I know when to listen to those that are ;)<!-- technorati tags begin -->
