Don't worry about whether or not you have gold tucked away if we ever reach the point where the US economy falls and the dollar is worthless. When that happens, you will be busy shooting at your neighbor as he tries to steal tomatoes from your garden and all the gold in the world won't buy two cucumbers.

I am known in my neighborhood for sharing my tomatoes. There will be no stealing and shooting here. On the other hand I do agree, in the event of a total collapse, gold and silver aren't going to help much. People socking this stuff away seem to envision a continued orderly world where you pay for your groceries at the local supermarket with your hoarded junk silver while the vast majority with worthless dollars gaze longingly at you through the window. Maybe they need to think this through. In my personal opinion a collapse is highly unlikely.

Tempting but I don't think my apartment complex would like the idea of me planting corn

The Mad Max theory is quite improvable, unless you live in NY, or LA. Never know when people are going to act out in mass panic over the absence of a venti chi tea with skim milk.

" venti chi tea "
Man there hasn't even been a collapse yet and I don't even know what that is? Perhaps the word Okie in my handle would give you a clue. Thanks, that was very funny!

I'm glad I made you laugh.

We could do with a lot less material things in life, like Starbucks and fast food take out.

IMO forget about the gold, lock and load! I don't see a issue with the monetary system collapsing, as I do a few large riots and mass crime / thieving. Keep and eye on unemployment.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Well my small damaged brain thinks US currency is just like the beads and shells the Indians use to use to trade for goods and services it will still be good.

As far as it's true worth it has none. ( Just my 2 cents)

That said you are better off just stashing cash than gold and silver because if things get worse they will not take credit cards but will always take your USA cash.
