There is a lot of things you can do with extra money.

Buy storable food and other commodities that will go up in price sharply if there is a panic.

Many ranchers are culling their herds as the price of grain and hay is rising. Now is the time to stock up on meat, chicken and fish, even buy a freezer if you have to store it all.

Something to consider are other items that might soar in price or even disappear from store shelves due to the high price of shipping (gasoline prices). Ammunition, liquor (if you don't have guns or don't drink you can trade it for something you need), matches, razor blades, most paper products like toilet paper and cleaning supplies.

I did something I thought I would never do: bought fake candles that operate on batteries, then bought a huge amount of batteries at Costco! And bought lots and lots of charcoal to use for cooking. All because I don't know if there will be rolling blackouts due to shortages in the future.

Attached from an email received -
What happens when the American dollar is no longer the reserve currency for the world - which he shows is happening already.

Very interesting and scary. Hope he is wrong.
