I am 75 and must withdraw funds from my IRAs so I took $4,000 in CASH out of one at a large west coast bank on Tuesday and then I went to another bank that could be in trouble and took $4,500 out of a MMA. Told them both I was going on a antiques buying trip. I am thinking about making space in a building and buying large quantities of non-perishable food for later barter and to feed my family. This may not work for those of you in the freezer belt as you don't want it to freeze canned goods. I have no faith in the FDIC.
Now if I can keep First Wife from finding it and investing it at one of the Casinos..
