BarbRad :) Aint you in luck? There are a number of resources I should share, huh? Hey, in addition to stocking up on food (no bragging. It's dangerous.) I'd also recommend you save all the nickels you possibly can, now, the older/unique, the better. Stock them up now, at face value. Love me for sharing this later, haha right?
If everything collapses, then money isn't worth anything, except for lighting a fire or throwing at someone as a missile. I always keep tinned food (and a tin opener) and some necessities in a box under the stairs, maybe I will stock that back up again, along with batteries, bottled water and a wind up lantern. If it's not going to be TOO bad, then maybe a purse with some cash would be useful too.
I looked to see if this was in the Humor category and found it was not. You have scared me with this. We barely scrape by with the two paychecks we are bringing home (now that I'm working too). If this is true, then another big thing would be to get out of as much debt as you possibly can. Pay things down even if it means baked beans and macaroni and cheese for a long time. We currently have about 13K in debt to pay off. Our house and two vehicles are paid off. BTW, It wouldn't surprise me if the economy went completely bottom up.
I let my brother have the family coin collection when Mom died. I got he house and we split the other assets, with the price of the house being subtracted from mine. I do have a couple of old fifty cent pieces, though.
Gold is good to cover larger sums. But for the average person, and the more typical, day-to-day transactions, silver is the common man's gold. Plus, it's been severely undervalued for a long, long time. That's about to give, too. No joke.

I'm never quite sure how to buy silver or where to keep it or how to manage it and use it.

Forgot the 99cents . Was that the kind of tag you meant?

Well, victory loves preparation. So, you'll support a helpful book, then? Especially if/since it'll be so affordably-priced? :)

Hold onto them. They might someday save your skin. Get more, too.

Why silver and not gold?

But it is in Sci Fi and Paranormal? I do always try to be prepared for likely things like a sustained power outage after a storm.

OK, Loudman , I'll put in a pre-order for another book!

Aww. You're so nice. That'll be 14 thousand GBP please. :) Oh, I'll cut you a deal.
