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?
