Oh puh leaze. I live in Utah. I live an hour away from town. Except for milk and fresh fruit we start getting nervous if we have less than a years worth of food stocked up. We have a greenhouse and my wife loves to garden. I have access to a spring and the materials and know how to go off the grid for power and heat. Having said that, I am not self sufficient. I don't really think it is possible to be self sufficient.
My point is that preparing for a Mad Max scenario is financially stupid. Buying bulk food items that you like to eat, on sale, is smart. Buying guns and ammo before you are out of debt is stupid. Investing in a foreign company to get dividends in time of a crises is smart.
Predicting the future is impossible. Planning for the future is smart.
Well you didn't say that. What you wrote gave the impression that money is all that is needed to survive any given disaster.
Sounds like you have all the bases covered.
“Buying guns and ammo before you are out of debt is stupid. “
If a crisis hits, do you think any of that debt will be enforced? I don’t. I do think protection today and every day, not to mention during a crisis, is not “stupid”. During a crisis do you think you’ll be seeing any dividends from a foreign entity? I mean, they can keep your dough, not pay dividends, or the feds can simply take it from you.
