What is with people telling others to hide their dough under the mattress? You might as well have a neon sign with an arrow near your bed. Everyone knows “mattress” stands for garden :D
“under the mattress” is not meant to mean actually put cash under your bed, but put it somewhere hidden that you can get to it. Banks don’t have much actual cash in their bank. Get some of yours now and put it away. Do it before September, like now.

Importantly, the automatic notification of cash withdrawal is now just $2,500, so if you want to store up some mattress money, you have to do it slowly, lest the authorities just seize your cash. Which they will do, and have done, a lot.
You hold physical cash, and what do you get?

I’d like some good advice on what to do with my 401k (not a lot of money but don’t want to lose it) and some stocks. I’m not falling for the so-called internet experts who want money for their “best kept secrets on how to weather the upcoming financial disaster” - and notice Ron Paul has a spiel out there.
Would like to know what others are doing besides having some cash, guns/ammo, food and a current passport at the ready….

Transmute your paper into gold & silver, like magic. An alchemist’s wet dream...sort of.
Seriously, I don’t know what else to suggest (besides lead, brass and non perishables). It is hard to believe that the money printing, the endless trillions in derivatives, the bogus economic stats we are force fed, are not a house of cards that must come crashing down.
And the Vast Machine watching us. Anyone readers here catch that reference?
In the event of a sudden financial crash banks might not be available to us so having some cash for short term expenses you’ll have makes sense. A longer bank crisis however could mean the end of cash and what you have in or out of the bank might be worthless. In any event it would take some time to get to that point. In the right circumstances I’d pay $100 per gallon for gas and hundreds for other necessary things if I had to. That is what emergency cash is for. Don’t expect people to be fair and/or considerate during an emergency. Great if it happens but prepare for the worst and prepare to be gouged and ripped off as you are paying.
Uh oh.
easier said than done for those of us with elderly who’ve been in and out of Doctors. Even with trying to buy just what we can get by with, living paycheck to paycheck.
