I could do with a lot more money than I have now... have no idea how much would be enough, I'm fairly good at spending the stuff.

I wouldn't miss what I've never had. And besides, the trust fund takes care of the house and grounds, the servants wages, and the fees at my club, so I don't need very much.

Zero is enough for me. Until Saturday anyway, when around 80 dollars will be enough for the weekly grocery shopping. $81.60 if it's a hot day and I decide to buy an ice cream.

Gold won't protect you from inflation. In fact it is no less immune to the vicissitudes of the economy than paper money.

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

From what I've heard, the US administration would pay you to take all of it off its hands.

Enough to live well but not enough to pop up on governmental radar.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
