I’m working through just that right now. It will be the very last of next month when I do it.
If I do, I’ll be withdrawing $5K -$10K per month in cash and putting it somewhere (not electronic)....
I hope to be so ‘poor’ by the end of next year, I qualify for food stamps.
Next was take cash and hide it, then the thought that they could very easily make hidden Dollars worthless by changing the money and requiring the old money be traded for the new money.
Gold and Silver sounds nice except unless you cut the coins or bullion up into $5 or $25 pieces, you'll end up trading a 1/4 oz for a box of bullets or a bag of groceries.
Bullets? Trouble knowing which cal most traders would want and they are somewhat perishable and hard to carry around in bulk.
To a large degree you are just screwed no matter which way we go. But would like to hear other ideas too.
