Interesting post.
I might point out a few additional items relating to the preparation for the "crash". First off, these “broker” types were the same that said
Y2K would cause chaos in the streets. Didn’t happen.
This time though I feel we may indeed be headed for at least a currency collapse. The system is crumbling beyond fixing
As for the “brokers” advice on buying land, gold and silver, I have concerns. They say they buy farm land so they can grow their own food? I
seriously doubt they have a clue about growing stuff. One doesn’t just throw out a few seeds and set back and wait. Farming is detailed and it is
HARD WORK! I mean drop dead hard work from sunrise to sunset most every day.
As for gold and silver, I discount gold as a means of exchange when currency has lost value. How do I pay for that $10 loaf of bread the OP speaks
of, with a one ounce gold coin or bar, valued now at $1,200? How do I get change? For emergency exchange, here in the US, you would do well with the
pre-1965 US issued Dimes, Quarters and Halves or one ounce silver rounds/bars. The $10 loaf of bread could be purchased with 2 silver quarters and 2
silver dimes (with silver priced at $18 per ounce, as it is now).
However, the "brokers", the OP speaks of, have missed the most important preparedness items out there. Emergency water and food come first. Before
land, silver and gold you need to get a 60 day emergency supply of water and one year supply of food for each family member in your pantry. Your gold
and silver will not cure hunger and thirst.
