But until then, I do not worry with it. I tell my children that today is what we have, so when that day comes, we pull them out, but that is not today. I take names and info and put it in the file cabinet and wait. My energies are needed right now to maintain in this economy and that is where I concentrate. I do not even like discussing it too much because I do not want to live waiting on a dream, but to live for today. I have seen too many people live for a dream and die without it. I need to teach my children better than that. Not to say that I don't think and want it to happen soon!
BUT, we are all different, and others may find that it keeps them going. We all are different, and we all have our own unique ways, I say, Good Luck to us All! as we wait, and wait, and wait together! LOL! so, relax!

I actually was referring to the original poster. It concerns me that people are rushing out to spend money on things when so far, those telling us to do it are always wrong with saying its done and its time. These are things that can easily be done AFTER a change in rate. I just get so worried with people spending money, when things are tight just about everywhere, and we still dont know what will happen with this and how much we will all make out of it. I am really concerned for those that have set up trust and all that in anticipation, and if it doesnt turn out as we want, they lost major money doing so...... Cant help it, i worry about people lol

In response to your concern, we run a business out of our house and we have been going to get a box for some time because (1) We don’t like our home address so “out there” do to the business as well as what is “normal” for just a home address. (2) We have a very incompetent mail carrier and the deciding point was a few weeks ago when a sizable check from a customer was delivered to a neighbor and it took 15 days for us to finally receive that check. I don’t have to tell you what this created for both us and our customer i.e. “check’s in the mail” and so on. Problems and suspicions that neither of us needed or wanted. (3) In this "Big“ Brother" “need to know everything about everyone” society that we live in, IF there is even the smallest thing that we can do to protect what little privacy and security is left for us, we want to. NOTE: In my book “Big Brother” is not just government but anyone who thinks they need to know my business and every move for what ever reason good or bad. IMHO, we have too much intrusion into our lives.

Our initial plan was to use a Mail Service such as UPS/Mail Boxes, Etc. but was glad to learn about USPS as an alternative. In all due respect, I believe that surely we are all capable of making sound decisions when it comes to what we can or cannot afford, what we want to do or do not want to do and so on. I honestly do not believe that anyone on this forum is going to spend money they do not have setting up something they do not want or need. It is my opinion that the caliper of people on this forum’s intelligence level is far higher than that otherwise IMHO ONLY they would not be investing in speculative currencies in the first place.

Personally, I am so VERY grateful to AJ Anderson and others for their comments and conversations regarding matters of Asset Protection, Wealth Setup, etc. on this forum. I personally would like to see even more tips from AJ as I am not able to spend as much time as I wish I could reading AJ’s Book or even listening to his Asset Protection replays do to my job and helping my husband with business. In all due respect, I don’t see where anyone is telling others to do anything.

Please understand, I say these things with respect but do wish you could give me and perhaps others the benefit of the doubt that we know what we are doing based on our own decisions, desires and needs. Please understand that what I do financially should be and hopefully still is up to me without the need of a stranger’s concern about the decisions I have made.

I placed my original post here for the benefit of those who may have been like me and did not know that USPS offered a street address service. Personally, I believe this forum is here for us to help each other all we can but not to judge each other’s capabilities, intentions, posts, motives or actions and so on. BTW, I am now wondering if I did do the right thing after reading about USPS NOT forwarding mail whilst UPS/Mail Boxes, Etc. will, which is some good information to know.
