The dollar is going to die, so you keep 30% in cash as a remedy?

Hard to figure, that one. The other remedies are not very portable when you're running for your life from your home that has been overrun.

You laugh at this list now, but wait until SHTF and you have no Rembrandts or Modiglianis to trade for food.

When SHTF, banks won’t open or will limit daily withdrawal amounts.

Before the fiat dollar becomes worthless, physical cash will buy you stuff. Those with debit cards and credit cards won’t be able to buy. The key is to use the cash to get what you/need quickly, including transportation, and keep the precious metals for after the dollar implodes.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

You keep 30% to have on hand for the initial death rattle, when they have asset seizure, 401K seizure, and bank closures.

That 30% is what you need to live on in the final days of the dollar, when most don’t know it is its final death and you are still able to buy the absolute essentials.
