Do you think Switserland was the trigger for the house of cards to fall?
I just do not have a good feeling about this.

Hi i am from Belgium my husband is also English. Well nice to hear. That you are also thinking about this issue. I have a real bad feeling about Switserland. It could spiral so quick out of control.Also when Greece will default. We were always thinking the USA would be the trigger.

Does it really matter what the first domino to fall is?

If you're self reliant you have nothing to worry about. Time was when it was expected we were self-reliant; it's just about getting back to our roots.

What could we do with our cash when we see the start of the collapse?
There were people who made money in the 1930s collapse.
I am just blown away how many forex brokers got bust over this Swiss issue.

I got some plug plants going, told my husband this week we are sorting our garden out. Time to grow more food.

What will be the trigger for you to buy more supplies ect, before the money has no value anymore?

No replies, where is everybody, i was hoping to get some more help and insight.

I have all the preps I need. Enough to take care of my family.

what I don't have enough of is cash, to pay my house taxes. for that matter, my mortgage either, if there are no jobs. I can last a while but how long is a "while" enough?

I have many plans for making money if I don't have a job, but what if most people don't have jobs or anything to pay me with?

Forget buying a car. they reposess cars first, before they take your house.

Sorry to hear you do not have enough cash to pay your taxes.
All my blood family died from cancer. Got a little money from my parents house and paid my small mortgage. My house is not finished, needs a new roof ect. I would love to do the roof, but do not know what to do hold on to the cash or do the roof.The cash might be worth nothing soon. It is driving me mad. It is scary times indeed my friend. Stay strong, at least here we can speek to each other. Take care

I would just buy a second hand one with cash from around 5000 euros would they reposess that also?

Although you can prep all you can (a good idea), it always comes down to a mental state of mind , i worked for many years in social behaviour , it taught me a great deal about human nature.
As i said prepping is good but solitude will be the biggest threat , worry and stress can bring you down faster than anything , once civil unrest explodes any one can be a target being a foreigner puts you at an immediate disadvantage .

The Baltic states showed us how thing's can develop and deteriorate very very quickly.

Use this litmus test /scenario,,,, thing's are bad, money unavailable, food in short supply , violence escalating and closing on your home area, would you prefer to face this alone /couple or face it with a small group.

Unless you are a lone wolf you would pick a small group, it surprised me on many occasions how people who were insecure on their own actually thrived and coped better whilst comforting or aiding other less secure people , they change their focus.

I love your avatar. I have 6 cats all saved from the shelter and street.

Thanks for your insight. Thought about that already. What will you do. group with other people or go through it alone with your family?

BUY GOLD NOW IF YOU HAVE CASH!!!!

Not that many Europeans on GlP. Are they so unaware what is happening. Or rather put their heads in the sand, I try to wake some people up on my facebook but to no prevail. They only are interested in things that are not important.It makes me sad.Thank god i can come here and read all the good and important info. I normally do not post a lot.

Not easy to buy physical gold. It is not that i have loads of money to spare. Where should i buy it from?

Then burn your money now because soon it will be worthless. The ECB will start to print money like crazy because Greece will default of course because they will never pay their debt that's certain, all the rest of Europe will pay for greece with hyperinflation that,s why the Swiss said enough and pulled out.

If you have enough money to buy a car with cash you have enough to buy gold. Buying gold is easier than buying a car. You will have to find a dealer in your country,

I am no different than you ,i am full of uncertainty , my nature would not allow me to turn away a person in desperate need (i doubt if their is one person on this site who could turn away a child or leave an old person freeze to death) so i will follow my nature for good or bad.

The mind is a funny thing people tend to gain strength from comforting less fortunate or more frightened people.

I do not advocate giving away supplies or feeding everyone and I understand meager supplies will be exhausted quicker but there is security in numbers.
It all depends on how long and how bad but going solitary will be mentally exhausting very quickly.

Thanks for your insight. Lets hope for the best. Good luck for you and your family.

Prostitute yourself, to get some bread.

Please don't worry yourself , everybody will be in the same boat , by mentally running through this problem you are disensitizing yourself to the shock if it starts happening .
Keep building a plan and eliminate the weak areas.

we can ask for money from America like Israel does

You need to take some spare cash if you have it and buy Silver immediately. Do NOT wait.
