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?

I have a small solar-battery-inverter power system - enough to keep my computers running for a few hours if no mains power and, of course, indefinitely while the sun shines. I must also buy a small, portable solar USB charge for when I'm out and about, just to charge my phone and iPad. The network might be out but I'll still have access to my contact addresses, notes, photos, etc.
