The Dr. User ID: 12306444 United States 09/16/2014 08:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let's say I want to be prepared for when TSHTF. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44684855 What are my options? If I save in dollars, it might loose its value. Now let's say I want to move out of this country when TSHTF, is there some kind of international savings account? An online account? Paypal? Buy gold and take it with me once I move out? Anyone already have a plan? If the SHTF, you won't have time to try to leave the country. If the US goes down the whole world economy goes with it. So all banks or financial institutions will be closed. So there will be no other country to "run to". (Most of the largest, most important companies that supply goods, services and technology to the world are based in the US) Gold and silver might have value, right at the very beginning and at the very end of a SHTF situation (for those still left alive). Once food and normal items become scarce, it is doubtful that gold or silver will be tradable for much of anything. If it really badly hits the fan, nothing will be of value, including your life. However, food, food and medicinal plant seeds, medicine, ammo, tobacco, booze, and possibly sex will most likely be barter items throughout a SHTF situation. since it is unlikely you can stock much of any of these thing and keep them from raiders. Kiss your wealth good bye! Last Edited by The Dr. on 09/16/2014 08:39 PM “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” ~ Benjamin Franklin |

If your really that dumb, you need more help than can be provided here. Married to a ginger |
