As I have mentioned before, the same year Elvis left this world, I left Memphis. I have never second-guessed my decision once. The one thing I do regret is that I didn’t move farther south. I wasn’t alone. Many others decided to flee the rule of the Democrats and their misguided ideas.

I paid twenty-five thousand dollars for a 3-bedroom house. Good luck finding anything like that today. Lately, similar houses in the area have sold for over one hundred thousand dollars. I have made many suggestions in past posts as to why the rapid value increase. To put it in very simple terms, every time those running the city of Memphis make a dumb decision, it drives my property value up.

Just today, as I was napping, I received a call. A woman wanted to make me an offer on my house. This is commonplace. It seems that at least once a month, I receive something in the mail. I have received multiple offers.

As I have alluded to, dirt is more valuable than gold. The problem with gold is that it has little or no utility value. The advantage of land is that I get to use it while its value goes up.

They like to advertise the value of gold on TV and radio. If it is so valuable, why do they need to advertise so much? If dirt is so cheap, why do so many spend money trying to find it?

A potential buyer approached me with an enticing offer to purchase my home. While the offer seemed appealing, I expressed my concern about where I would live if I were to sell my property. It’s important to carefully consider the implications of such a significant decision.

So, if I sell my house and buy gold with the hundred grand, I suppose I could pitch a tent in the park until the police chase me off. By the way, I’d need to rent a safety deposit box in which to store the gold, which of course, would just sit there serving no purpose whatsoever.
