So we all know to be prepared, have hard metals, stocked up food, cash on hand, etc. I’ve done all that, but now fine tuning it. I have cash and money in the bank. If everything goes to crap this next week, then it’s losing value and I’m missing out because it is turning worthless. If I spend it on tradeable goods and things that hold value, and then it takes months for the collapse to happen, I am left trying to pay my mortgage and bills with ammunition and bottles of whisky. Sure I could by gold then trade it back in if needed, but then I’m just losing some value assuming no movement in the price. Thoughts?

Unless you have thousands in the bank. Don’t get too alarmed. Try to balance out some in the bank and some at home safely. If anything buy a couple of guns and ammo. Water, canned food. Get comfy and have family near by. I wish I had started a home garden for food earlier. Killing the grass and making room for crop plots. Gonna make a rain catch too.
I dug up some grass for a decent garden. It was under a few inches of water all last week. I didn't grow up in this part of Florida so I am have a bit of a time figuring our the planting seasons, and what to plant when.
What I am thinking about doing rather than focusing on vegetable type garden is to grow fruit producing trees. I'm in zone 9B, and was watching these vids: (I should have gotten started a couple years ago though)
This is a good video

The biggest thing with a garden ism get a well drained plot, prepare the soil ahead of time with some good chicken/cow manure, keep the friggin weeds down.
Right now is planting season in Zones 9+. I have a lot of stuff going, but hoping this storm doesn't ruin everything with salt air. I may be out of the danger zone so far for a major hit, but a close shave will kick up a lot of salt if you're close to the beach. Muh corn!
