Lots of speculation here. Will it be a dirty bomb? A Hollywood production? Something exploded underwater? Will it be in DC not NY? I don't know and neither do you. Maybe those dollar folders do.

I live on Long Island, NY. Get out! you say. Really? What do I do with the contents of my house? What do I do with my house?

I've been stockpiling all the right things and growing a garden. Just like I did in 2012 before Superstorm Sandy. Guess what? All my preps were destroyed. House gone and everything in it.

We watched the twin towers collapse together.

Background: I am 70. My husband of 35 years died of covid in January. It is a blessing that we were able to start over in a home that allowed my son and DIL to live in an apartment on the second floor.

I've been looking at properties in SC and I can swing another home there but just barely as I watch the deferred comp account my husband built over years laboring in a sewage treatment plant dwindle. I feel a profound sense of stewardship towards these and other funds he left me. But you say fiat will soon be worthless.

And another concern is my faith. I am Catholic. The south is overwhelmingly Baptist.

So, wise speculators, what would you do? Live in fear? Act rashly? And what about my dogs? Or just keep living until the flash bang or tidal wave comes?
