  1. It's ok to be positive and upbeat. You should read 'The Secret."
  2. No kidding! I'm totally stressed. I was up at 4am checking for news. Nothing. Now it's 9:30am. Still nothing. I can't wait till I hear that I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams. I will scream till I'm hoarse... I don't regularly post comments or notes. And I certainly don't personally know anybody with information about the dinar, but I really appreciate this site and the opportunity to be in touch with all of you. I'm nervous and excited and anticipating all the good I will be able to do for so many people. (Including, but not limited to me) Thanks all.
  3. Ok, thanks. I found it now. I had deleted one of the spaces; didn't notice the others. I was hoping there'd be more info at the other site. Anybody know more???
  4. I can't get the link to work. What's going on? What does HCL and FIL stand for? Please help. I want to retire.
  5. Love that video. But they forgot GRATITUDE. We are blessed. Let's remember that. I thank God for this amazing trip! It's been a long journey, but the fun is just beginning!
  6. Not a problem. We'll be very lucky if we can replace oil and gas by the time we run out of them. And, really, I don't see it happening in our lifetimes.
  7. Thanks for that affirmation. I work at a bank. There's a LOT to know, but not a very high wage...
  8. I totally agree. I've been wondering what to tell people when I quit my job. The best I could come up with was, "Some of my investments miraculously turned a profit!" I plan to maintain a low profile and just enjoy the peace of mind. I can't help but be excited at the prospect. And thank you for the original breakdown here. I like the reminder. Every time I read it, I feel like I'm understanding the process a little better.
  9. It may be. This link says the rate of taxation on ordinary income is 35% (+ $$$) on income over $373,650. http://taxes.about.com/od/preparingyourtaxes/a/tax-rates_2.htm
  10. I've been reading the posts describing how the IRS will treat our returns. And doing a little online research to verify. I found this video from March of 2010. The information in this video states that gains from trading currency that has been PHYSICALLY HELD will be taxed at ordinary rates. In fact, Robert Green says, we will be "trapped" in ordinary gain or loss rates. We will be unable to use the 60-40 rule that's been mentioned by one of our posters. He also states that there is confusion among accountants with regard to this issue. Can anyone confirm or deny? Thanks. http://www.moneyshow.com/video/video.asp?wid=4826&t=3&scode=013790%20
  11. Great idea! I'll look into that today, too. It would be so refreshing to get first-hand information. Please let us all know what you find out!
  12. Thanks. That concise explanation helps me a lot.
  13. You're saying that Iraq can't afford to RV at $.01. Is that correct? I keep trying to understand the big picture, but I'm at a loss. Seriously. When I originally purchased my dinar I was convinced that a revaluation was imminent. That was 3 years ago. I recently read a long piece (on this site) that explained in detail how an RV would work to benefit both the US and Iraq. Can anyone explain how this fits with the much simpler concept that Iraq really can't afford to RV?
  14. Thank you for the offer, sdelboccio. I would love to try the VIP membership for a month. I'm very strapped for cash right now, can't sell my house, and my income isn't enough to make all my payments. I work at a homeless shelter, so I feel like I'm doing my part to help others. I know I need advice; I just can't afford it at the present time. Here's a money joke for you: The elderly man decided to make sure that he could take his money with him when he died. He packed all of his cash in a trunk and hauled it into the attic. A short time later, sure enough, he died. Later, when his widow and children were cleaning they found the trunk in the attic, right where he'd left it. His wife looked at it, paused for a moment, and then said, "What an idiot! I told him to put it in the basement."
