This don't address the problem of how to preserve your material wealth. Spend on education? Tools? Land? Hold dollars? Stocks? Precious metals? Guns and ammo? Massive stocks of supplies?
Having skills isn't exclusive of preserving your wealth.
Having skills isn't exclusive of preserving your wealth.
Sikhs turned up in my country in the 80's with nothing but skills, they now run most corner shops and a lot of building companies
Niggers turned up in the 90's with no skills. They are still nigging
He isn't saying you're wrong, he is asking about a separate issue. Surviving and building wealth is one thing, the question is how does someone preserve the material wealth they currently have so they can have it again after the SHTF scenario is over and values have returned to normal.
As a random example, look at the Balkans. I know some Bosnians who hid physical gold and then dug it up again many years after the conflict was over and things had stabilized again. It's not stupid to bury some gold, and then survive and come back to it later. Or maybe leave a map to your heirs if the conflict hasn't ended yet.
To me this is a separate issue to your survival plan. You might use silver or gold for useful barter, but I think you're more likely to end up losing it if you're not already well fortified.
So what would you say is the best STORE of value to hide something for 20 years and come back to it without risk of losing it all?
