Got a fortnight’s food in your pantry? 6 months in better but at least get some stocked up.

Reposted from a US friend. I think it is valid advice. Based on reports from various sources the US could be in for ten days of darkness.

Withdraw some cash from the banks. Just to be safe. Credit cards may not be working at some point….banks are doing funky things.

An Australian friend asked me for some more specific advice. This is what I replied.

It was directed to US citizens but I do not know how much of our credit card processing functionality is on shore and how much is off shore and whether the off shore conniption would affect us here.

As Lee Child has Jack Reacher say, “Hope for the best, plan for the worst.”

I believe at this time there is an above average risk of having all your eggs in one basket.

I am no longer involved in financial advising but I don’t think 20% of your liquid assets in precious metals is inappropriate right now. I get mine from abcbullion.com.au

If you have other places/assets you can park your money that are cash recoverable, I think that is sound.

Do a search on the internet for the Great Reset and read up on it.

Buy John Truman Wolf’s book on the coming financial crisis, read it and implement from it what you feel appropriate for your circumstances.
