  1. Seriously doubt there would be a gold confiscation. This country is a lot different than it was almost 100 years ago.

    Rethink
    Iin the event of hyperinflation, a couple blowjobs will buy off your mortgage -- whatever its present nominal value

    if you are seriously concerned about economic collapse focus on these elements: subsistence, defense, trade, medium of trade

    If you have some land, can farm it, defend it, have skills, commodities, and knowledge to trade with the neighbors and have some medium for doing so, you'll be fine.

    While you're worrying about this hedge against disaster, don't forget to hedge against prosperity. That might happen, too.
