“Sure, if the dollar collapses, we’ll see tremendous price dislocations”
I agree...and this is why I don’t see any asset as a sure thing under that circumstance. We are “betting” on how people will react when faced with this situation...and our culture has changed a lot over the years.
“Let’s hope/pray it never gets to the “Mad Max” level...”
That has been my prayer for a while...but the more I see the direction our culture is heading the less positive I get. God will be the only way we will get through a major economic depression...no matter how well we think we have prepared.
Keep praying...
That is true. Who can say with 100% certainty what will be the best assets to own except for the basics. That's why I've tried to diversify. Sounds like you are in good shape and have ways to acquire what you need, if the need arises.
You are where most of the population was during the last depression. Many, including my parents and grand parents, never really noticed the depression. With your independence, God's protection and surrounded by loved ones, what more do you need?
Most people don't realize that when they buy a gallon of milk for let's say $5, it really costs about $10 when everything (taxes, training, commuting, downtime & etc.) is considered. Something to remember while you're dodging that cow's tail... :)
