Im not rich or even well off. I work physically and am, well last paycheck to paycheck pretty much. No retirement plans, if Im to old to work Im to old to live. Anyway, especially recently do I save money that continually gets worth less or buy stuff now that continually goes up? Dont fuckin tell me I need to have 6 months worth of cash, blah blah.

Im leaning toward buying more stuff I will need in the future. While its still avaliable.

Ammo. Silver. Canned food. Booze. Cigarettes. Weed. Chocolate. Toilet paper. Bottled water.

Weed and cigarettes are in there - yeah, you could get different forms, chaw, dip, gummies, thc pills etc. - point is - people will pay for it one way or another.

Poppy - opium could be worth it. I don’t know how to process it, but i guess i could learn. Certainly useful to have an opiate if necessary.

Good call on the veg seeds.

Opium is super simple. Member afgani farmers made it. You just score the seed pods, collect the poppy latex. Then? Some sort of cleaning. Thats it.

Most entertaining reply I’ve received recently, thank you. More to the point, I’ve posed your same question to my spouse many times over the course of our long union, and I still am unsure of the best course, so we do both.

Buy silver and lead.

If shtf I wouldnt take an ounce of silver for one can of beans. Precious metals are for preserving wealth you already have in hope for the future.

Buy assets that will pay you money

But Im leaning towards eventually money will be worthless. Look around.

Maybe, maybe not. Either way, real estate or profitable businesses will always have value

Why do you think “STUFF” will make you happier?

Just some helpful advice, don’t buy shit you don’t need. If you have to, buy silver and gold. Or a piece of equipment for a side business.

Here you go, go to the landfill and some estate sales. Look at all the shit someone bought. They thought a lot of it would make them happy too.

I wish I had all the money I wasted back.

Since it sounds like you have the Smith & Wesson retirement plan and are just concerned about hedging against inflation, have you considered I-Bonds? They hold value in the ballpark of inflation and have negligible risk or volatility. They give you the option of keeping your buying power for later.

You see lots of people mentioning water. Get a still. You'll be able to distill water, alcohol, and fuel.

What I've learned over the years is that just as you feel pushed to do something radical in the financial markets (buy stocks, sell stocks, buy gold, spend your savings) you should wait, because that's when everything shifts, and those who got sucked in by the hysteria lose money. I'm talking about that moment when you feel that everybody is doing something and you have to do it too. That's your danger signal. That's your herd instinct, leading you off the cliff.

haha, I cant do anything radical in the financial market. But surely you see whats happening today?

BRICS, over printing of US dollar, mass public and private debt, major supply interruptions that put small businesses under with one missed shipment, mass layoffs coming..... Everything is solid and stable, my friend.
