If you had a large sum of money in the bank what would you do with it?

First, don't take advice from people who are broke.

If you are not debt free, get there, don't even take zero percent loans, as there is precedent to revalue loans to Gold even in the absence of a Government holding Gold during a collapse.

Get away from population centers move to a rural area where state and local government support your world view. Ideally an area where intentional communities are already established who support your world view. Become part of an intentional community of other people you can trust.

Focus on production not consumption. Make sure you are a net producer of food, water, shelter, power, security, medical, communication, intelligence, and community.

While things remain calm establish a variety of businesses that produce and maintain inventory in the categories above. So when the balloon goes up, you are sitting on means of production and inventory of the things you need.

Then get several bikes.

You can’t be that stupid.

Get everyone a bike a backpack.

You know what to do.

You don’t keep large sums of cash in the bank. Duh.

My theory that I call "The do something disease" comes into play here...Usually, the best course of action in situations such as these, the best thing to do is nothing...even when your gut is screaming that you need and must act and DO something...Don't.

The law of unintended consequences sets you up for failure...By doing nothing, you avoid many mistakes and having money in the bank in never ever a bad thing...

Two chicks at the same time.

It's smart to have liquidity...Every ten years you can count on an emergency that will cost you at least ten thousand bucks...That could be a car giving out and you must replace it, or any number of things...

Half silver
Half in Tfuel and stake that shit when 3.0 launches

First thing I would do is move.

Brief is one of the few people commenting on these threads who has experience with money. I can tell.

We may be headed for an event that changes things, but I personally have been waiting for such an event for over a decade, and it’s been forecast since before 2001, so I hear.

I personally don’t think the dollar is headed to zero. But even if it is worth 40% less in four months or whatever, it’s still money in the bank.

There’s something to be said for having stored food, and some metals, but there’s only so much silver a person can carry.

Early last year when the market dropped 20%, my broker and I were discussing what others were doing. I said, what was the look on their faces when you told them we are doing nothing?

But as we knew it would, the market recovered and then grew an additional 45%, a 65% improvement! And if you "pulled out" you would have screwed yourself...LOL
