You just keep talking. Del Monte ketchup will be worth more than it's weight in gold when the time comes.
So it becomes okay to steal from others if the SHTF?
......so basically gold and silver is useless. I'm thinking buy all the supplies you can now and just try to hold onto them as long as possible.
Warren Buffet says the best investment you can make is to invest in yourself!
The economy might collapse or you might have hyperinflation. Real estate might collapse or become unobtainable.
As long you have a skill or knowledge that other people don't have and need you will always have something that is valuable.
So, it doesn't matter if you become a better doctor or welder. You will always have something that other people will have to buy or trade for.
I went with silver. Undervalued and would be the currency of choice in a financial catastrophe situation.
