How old are you? Are you married? Have Children?

I would suggest moving to New Zealand. They are looking for new citizens. You can buy a big ranch for nothing and live in paradise for the rest of your days.

Or, if you have young children, you could move to northern Europe- Sweden or Finland. Your children are very likely to receive quality healthcare and education.

Or, if you really have to stay in the U.S., I would invest a fraction of your nest egg in ammunition. Really. This stuff lasts forever and only goes up in value. Gold is almost useless to me.

Or, you could buy the abandoned house next door to me in St. Louis, MO. In the past it housed a hoarder and a grandmother of drug dealers. It has gone many weeks without a door and has been empty now for months. If you buy this house, I cannot promise to feed you for the rest of your life, but if you still live in America, are honestly trying to feed yourself, and are unable too- I will help you find something to eat.

Let me know.




> a fraction of your nest egg in ammunition. Really. This stuff lasts forever and only goes up in value.

It lasts a long time if kept air conditioned in a climate controlled area. It doesn't last as long in humid regions or warm/highly temperature variant regions. This goes double for types of ammo that are not as tightly formed in their casing.

Also, is there a good secondary market? Seems like something that would be hard/liable to cause criminal prosecution for selling, if you accidentally sold to the wrong dude.


Same advice excepting location--- I'd suggest Ireland instead, hide out until the world stabilizes (if it ever does).


Ireland has a huge cost-of-living, awful healthcare, and is terribly run.

It's a good place to house a corporation(the tax is very low) but for living in... You'd want to be very secure, financially.


Isn't Ireland experiencing total economic collapse at the moment?


LOL!
