Heh, funny. It just shows what a dollar was worth back then too... Agreed, I would have sold the car and the vacation if I could for silver. I was born in 82, I wish I could go back even to the late 90s and early 2000s and made myself buy gold/silver. I'm all in on silver now after we sold our house a couple years ago, renting, and waiting for the housing market to collapse. Hopefully we can buy up something outright in a couple years when it hits bottom and have some left over for investment. I would hope $145k of silver will go somewhere upward in the next couple of years. We've at least gained nearly 20% since we bought it. :D
Good luck to you, Devin. I was left bereft of savings thanks to Canuckistan’s feminist divorce apparatus (sordid story). Like you, I have biased heavily towards silver with a view to the future.
To paraphrase Wayne Gretzky, skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it is.
Thanks VBL for the memories. In the summer of '73, my family was very flush with AMC Gremlin profits (with which, we escaped the '73-'74 recession) and took a cross-country trip to Vegas in an AMC Ambassador. My mother won a hundred silver dollars at Circus-Circus, which I still have today.
I would have taken the Silver Dollars, the Trip to Vegas..and Sold the Gremlin 😂😂
At least it wasn’t a Pinto
😂😂 same as
I would have drove the Gremlin to Vegas and blew the LOT. But that was THEN and THIS is NOW!
I’m a child of ‘65 and a silver stacker. Recall watching “The Price is Right” and other game shows.
Great post, VBL. Ty for the relevant trip down memory lane.

Heh, sorry to hear that. Man I haven't heard the name Wayne Gretzky since I was a kid, funny.

Back before the world went to shit.
$20000 at today’s wildly undervalued price
