Where You Should Invest in Preparation for Financial Collapse
We live in the most economically unstable time since the Great Depression. Nations and the individuals within are drowning in debt and don’t have the income necessary to get out of the debt. Not all Americans are experiencing tough financial times. Many of us are financially prudent and have savings for that rainy day.
If an Economic Collapse were to happen, if hyperinflation happened to the US dollar, what would be the best investment to have? If our current investments were to lose there value, what investments would be worthwhile?
Stocks – Stocks represent ownership in something, if that business remained vibrant, they could maintain or increase in value. It’s possible that stock ownership could maintain its value through the hard times. Most likely, the businesses would also struggle during an economic collapse and there would be very little demand for the stock in the times of most need.
Bank Savings/CD’s – The paltry interest rates being offered for savings in banks, money market accounts, and CD’s is almost worthless right now. It actually losses money when you take into account inflation. The truth is that in our banking system today, money isn’t even tangible. It’s actually just a series of numbers stored on computers. If our economy collapsed our savings would be worthless and we might not even be able to collect on the money we have in the bank.
Gold – People have been drawn to gold since the beginning of human history.. Gold has always been coveted. Most of the hyper-inflation websites out there recommend investing in Gold. In recent times, gold has increased in value, and as an investment, has done better than stocks. Gold has recently increased in value, and may not see value rises for much longer. Gold’s advantage is that it is physical, and can be in our possesession, locked up in our own homes. But, if an economic collapse happened there would be very little demand for jewelery.
Real Estate – Real Estate might be the best investment in the event of hyper-inflation . Hyper-inflation rewards debt, and punishes savings. With hyper inflation, wages would also dramatically increase and it would be relatively easy to pay off any mortgage loans. In addition, shelter is a basic need, and will always be important. Once the economy recovers, investment real estate can provide a way to generate monthly revenue under the new monitary system.
Food – The most secure investment in the event of hyper-inflation is food storage. Having food and water will always be an essential part of life. Food storage will not only help sustain your family, but would also be a valuable trading commodity in the event of economic collapse.
We can hope and pray that our nation will find a way to avoid economic collapse, but just to be safe, now is the time to get prepared with cheap freeze dried food storage.
