"Over time, the concept of saving money has lost general acceptance. No longer do people put away money in a savings account for a rainy day, retirement, or even just to save money to purchase a consumer good. Nevertheless, the worth whileness of these objectives has not been diminished by modern disruptions to money nor has the resulting monetary disorder changed the obvious necessity that everyone needs to plan and prepare for an uncertain future. So savings remain as important today as at any time in the past, which poses an obvious problem.
How can you save money today when central bank and government policy result in the erosion of your purchasing power when saving any national currency?
The answer lies in the money being saved. Save gold and/or silver instead of any national currency."
