>>4744720 Those of us who have been following the economy, and understand economics are actually surprised the banksters have been able to keep the whole thing rolling along as long as they have. Since 2008 they have been printing money and pumping it into the corpse of the economy just to keep the vital signs going. Things could change drastically for the worse any day. My advice is, keep a supply of ready cash handy for when the system freezes up in the first stages of the collapse. Have at least a 3 months supply of food, and any other essentials you need. Have a supply of small pieces of real silver for barter, junk silver, dimes, quarters, half dollars from before 1964. Have gold to store the majority of your wealth and carry it into the new system. When I say gold and silver, I mean the actual metals in your own posession. If you can't hold it in your hand, you don't own it. If you have enough so you cannot store it safely at home, do not put it in a safe deposit box in a bank. Store it in an independent vault, one that is well respected. Do the research yourself. Even then, it is not as safe as what you have in your own physical possession when this thing hits.Keep only enough money in the bank for your daily bills and expenses, plus a buffer for unexpected emergencies. If possible, get the hell away from any city or large municipality. Have firearms to protect yourself and your metals. Make sure you have a secure supply of water. Be prepared for an extended period without electricity. When this happens, not IF this happens, may God have mercy on us all, we'll need it.
