I have no credentials to give investment advice. That said,

1) Do NOT have a single banking relationship. Find solid banks using something like this...

...and spread what money you have over a few solid institutions. Make sure at least one is based in your home town. Have ID’s and passwords for each account and don't keep them on your computer. Keep them handwritten in a “little black book” that you keep with you at all times.

2) Even in inflationary times, cash is king. Live within your means.

3) Buy used gold jewelry you like to wear. Keep it in a safe when not in use.

4) Real Estate might be an option if you have the means to maintain it.

5) Train yourself on the use of firearms and buy some high-end weapons that will retain/increase in value.

6) Learn to grow things like peppers, tomatoes and squash.

7) Get out of a big city if that is where you live now. Find a suburb with low crime statistics. Move now before everyone wants to. Get to know your neighbors.

8) Try not to owe anyone anything.

I like number 7 because bartering will be an ideal way of life.

Thanks, Gabrial. I need to work on #1 (it’s all in one bank), #4 (only have our house - will be paid off in 8 years) and 6 (I’m no gardener!). Almost there on #8. :o)
