Lol at this.  OP, things might look bleak for you right now, but remember that nothing is permanent--especially the price of gold, the value of the euro to the dollar, and everything else in finance.  Just hang in there and things will probably improve for you.  I'm sure you've noticed that we're living in some crazy times, and often when I look at the world it's like I'm seeing it as the reflection from a funhouse mirror.

I'm not surprised that gold (and silver) are shooting up in value; I'm surprised that it's taken this long for that to happen.  I figured in the initial days of the COVID-19 outbreak we'd see gold & silver on the moon rocket, and now I'm wondering what the catalyst is behind the rise in prices.

And hey, if you can support yourself with the land you own I say go for it (but only if it's something you'd enjoy).  There's always going to be a demand for IT services, so you can fall back on that if you needed to.  Best of luck to you--and to the rest of us in these lunatic times.
