Trying to make some decisions on how to best prep for the times, should things worsen before they improve. I want to get my money out of the bank asap and I'm thinking of using it to buy a plot of land as my long term investment/savings strategy. This would protect my money from both inflation and government overreach, as I believe a few more steps ahead in their plan will be to block us from our banking accounts if we do not comply. We are not there yet but I think it's coming. The land will also be an available resource should I need it in the event of food shortages as I am a master gardener but my current property is tiny.
I'm also calling a ranch today to invest in a quarter cow for my freezer. Between that and the fall garden, finding food won't be an issue for months. Regardless what the near future holds, I have to make sure I can keep my kids fed.
Do you have any prepping plans in action? Any advise?
I’m with you on the banking plan. We already own quite a bit of land so not sure that would be the best investment for us, but maybe it is. The quarter cow is a good idea provided you have adequate freezer storage and a back up generator in the event there’s fuckery with the power grid.
What other investments ( besides precious metals) are people considering?
Definitely have a generator as well as lots of fuel already stocked up. We live in hurricane alley though so that's just a normal part of life down here ;)
I also have money in silver bullion and in a few stocks but I can't grow food on my silver and I'll probably cash out my stocks or move them into a very long term strategy and forget about them for a while. If I already had a bunch of land like you do, I'd probably put my money in physical investments, things I may need in the future but may be hard to find, like tools, food, livestock, infrastructure and other basic supplies. My husband has been buying doubles and triples of everything lately, knowing what he owns will eventually break and he wants backups on hand already.
