BUMP
As another poster said, the government will just make it’s use illegal. If you have it now, you’re better off to stock up on beans and bullets etc.
You should stock up on beans, bullets and bllsht. Also stock up on God, guns, gold and guts. And not necessarily in that order.
God is definitely top of the list.
If this ends up being part of Trump's or anyone's war on illegal invaders, it ain't worth it.
People who had ANY money during the Depression held on to it as long as they could. Some guy running for president, I think, proposed putting a date of expiration on each bill to get that money circulating.
I remember a Shirley Temple movie where they tracked what happened when a guy took a $50 bill out of the mattress and paid off a debt. Each time that bill was spent, it improved things (according to the movie) until eventually the guy who started it all got that $50 bill back when someone paid off their debt to him.
I cracked up at the blatant govt propaganda and wondered if the people then saw through it.
Why would you trust a bank with your gold if you can’t trust them with cash?
Just sayin.

In theory and as far as I can tell, in fact, the bank does not know what’s inside my safe deposit box. It takes two keys to open it, I have one of them and the bank has the other one.
I lost both safebox keys years ago.(Long story)
It cost quite a bit for it to be drilled open.
Be careful. :-)
.
What? How do they know what you put in there?
Can’t a president undo it?
I actually have one, my wife has a duplicate and the bank its own. If my wife or I lost a key, it wouldn’t be that expensive but if we both lost a key, they would have to drill and that would be expensive.
Agreed. Humans will find an alternative way to make transactions. Who needs the dam government.
The cash is only a way point. They are coming for your lives. There are too many of you, and you are breeding too fast, and they can’t build Utopia if you keep destroying the planet.
The bank advised him correctly in making the small withdrawals. Repeated withdrawals of say 5k or more will get the attention of the IRS. And they will lock your account or at least question why until you can answer to their satisfaction why you are making such withdrawals. It ain’t right, but that’s the way it works now.
Just giving you a hard time and may God bless!! :)
Back then people did literally stash their cash in their mattresses. Mattresses were mighty thin back then (I experienced a few thin stinking ones in my youth in some NE youth hostels) And some added cash helped make them sleep easier in more ways than one
Thanks Dennis, and may God watch over us all.
nope
Even on Star Trek the smart people hoard bars of latinum.
Gold has been the medium of exchange in most of the world for the last 5 thousand years. I don’t see any evidence of that changing in the near future. So if I need some of the things on your list I believe I will be able to trade for it with gold.
That is not to say that I do not have a stock pile of the things on your list. But gold takes up considerably less space.
