I see everything around me falling apart, economy, society, marriages, family, education, employment.

It is kind of hard to ignore, isn't it?
Personally, I believe it is time to retreat, at least for me it is. I'm retiring to my bug out location, a handful of acres in Colorado, a small "hobby" farm with my dogs and horse. It's not that I think collapse is imminent, but I do have fears that the gas might be $1,000 to get there.
The reason I am leaving now is that I can no longer tolerate people. I can no longer pretend to give a shit about their empty, vapid lives.
Most are asleep, most think I am crazy. Someone said to me this week, "WTF? You're going to go raise chickens and pigs out in the middle of nowhere?" This is while they were telling me their awesome plan to purchase this McMansion that was in foreclosure that had amazing views of the city. I shit you not.
You know, maybe I AM crazy as a loon. Maybe nothing is going to happen and by some miracle, the US won't default, food prices won't increase, and fuel will be cheaper than ever. Maybe. Maybe the dollar is fine.
The truth is that I can't stand being around most people. They are just so fucking self absorbed in their daily minutia. Just yesterday, I was talking to someone about my concerns about the safety of our milk, what with all the radiation, and I could tell they had no idea what I was talking about.
When people don't even know about Fukushima in meltdown, well, it's time for me to hang it up. I can no longer relate to the average Joe, so it is probably better that I isolate myself further.
I think it's time to withdraw.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 969156I too have felt an urge to close up shop and head to the hills. The only problem is I'm in my mid-thirties and have a wife and 3 kids and a fairly thriving small business. While I'm fortunately located in a somewhat rural area, I'm still about 25 miles from a metropolitan area and definitely not "in the hills." It would be difficult to impossible for me to run my business from an ideal "bug out location." Therefore, I'm keeping tabs on Ozark mountain properties within two hours drive of my location and which are owned by Fannie Mae, or too big to fail banks, having been foreclosed (there's really not many). My game plan is if Nibiru shows up or they try to declare martial law or cancel the dollar or something, I can load up my preps within a few hours into a trailer hooked to an 18 wheeler (which I fortunately have access to if needed) and drive to one of several bank owned properties with my wife and kids following in an SUV, and just occupy the damned place. What is Fannie Mae or Bank of America going to do to me when Nibiru shows up? LOL. I'm also a lawyer and could hold their asses off indefinitely if TSHTF.
