Your Survival Guy's Mailbag: Paperwork and Yellowstone Cutthroat

Thinning Out Paperwork

Dear Survival Guy,

“[I] am getting around to thinning out old tax papers (from 1995 on) and learned two things: 1) I had no real plan except for a consistent, albeit small, allocation to precious metals, and 2) I was venue shopping for a firm with a plan I could understand and agree with, i.e. you guys! Plus, I would note that it was a difficult time period.

Have a good one,

Dr. P

Yellowstone Cutthroat

Dear Survival Guy,

Your article brought back a recent backcountry trip on horses. That’s the smile of a financially comfortable retirement!

E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

E.J. Smith is Founder of YourSurvivalGuy.com, Managing Director at Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd., a Managing Editor of Richardcyoung.com, and Editor-in-Chief of Youngresearch.com. His focus at all times is on preparing clients and readers for “Times Like These.” E.J. graduated from Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, with a B.S. in finance and investments. In 1995, E.J. began his investment career at Fidelity Investments in Boston before joining Richard C. Young & Co., Ltd. in 1998. E.J. has trained at Sig Sauer Academy in Epping, NH. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West (RIP JB) and Paris. Please get in touch with E.J. at ejsmith@yoursurvivalguy.com To sign up for my free monthly Survive & Thrive letter, click here.
