If the government wants you badly enough, they will find you. Just be a small pain in their tush, but not worth hunting you down. Like on prepper forums. They know who we are but it is not worth the resources to come find us.
 
Im sure everyone who is a part of any prepper site is on that list.but yet whats the chances of them going after who ever in a wrose case scenario? Like a complete power grid failer,EMP attack,pandemic. To what ever.they might go as far as 200 miles out from their base or where ever.but yet.whats the chances of them going that far out? Im thinking slim chance to none when it comes them going that far out.on account i think they'll be to under staffed to go that far out.
 
yeah and I live here,my guys and gals don't have time for little me over here if things go bad.
only an extremely corrupt government would do something like this to its citezens, what are they afraid of? probably of the real truth coming out, and them being exposed for what they really are.
I would bet that almost every senator and congressman has a secret offshore tax free account hidden away somewhere
 
Of course they do. Any one with any money does what they can to protect their assets.

But when/if the nukes and EMPs start going off, it won't matter. All that money is just bits stored on some big ole computer. Once those have been decommissioned, there will be no money left. Just memories. Doesn't matter how much or how little you have in a bank account (onshore, offshore or nearshore), it will be gone.

That's right. And that's why I'd never suggest to anyone to put all their money in only one type of investment. A bank account is about the last best place to keep ones money, onshore or off. But I do advocate spreading whatever asset's that a person has around, I.e, stocks, bonds, real estate, precious metals, preps etc. Some investments will be worthless IF there's ever a total collapse of the economy or SHTF, and other will help a person get through whatever happens.

Not *all* :)

If everything goes to "hell in a handbasket", what will make gold more valuable. You can't eat it. Maybe short term, gold may contain value since people will still remember it as valuable. But it won't take long before Bullitts and/or Food will be a much greater bargaining commodity than gold.

I tend to disagree. Gold has had great value for thousands of years. I think it's a little arrogant to think that gold will become valueless after a world wide SHTF event. In the very short term it may not be as important as food and ammo to most people, but I feel that it wouldn't be long before it's used for trade again. As society rebuilds itself we will need a common recognizable form of currency for trade. Gold, silver, and possibly platinum will become real money again. I've heard many "experts" recommend having 10% of ones total assets invested in precious metals. I personally believe that percentage should be about double that.

Yeah, I laugh at most experts though. They seem to be experts at telling others how to manage their money. Hell, if they were really good they would be wealthy enough to not having to hawk their ‘expertise’. I will say for my tastes though, I don’t think 20% in precious metals is excessive or a bad idea. One thing I am certain of is diversification is a wise idea. No one has a crystal ball and can tell how any scenario will play out, so having several different types of investments just helps ensure you will have something to work with if shtf. Investing is a personal decision, and what seems prudent for one person may seem radical to another. There are also too many things to consider, from ones age to what are your ultimate goals, for any one strategy to fit all people.

I totally agree. As we've discussed before, I think two of the most important investments that a person can make, are; 1) invest in yourself. That could mean learning the skills necessary to make yourself more employable, or that would lead to a higher paying position. It could also be learning the skills that will help you during and after a diaster. And 2) and possibly the most important part of investing is to be totally debt free.
I guess there is also a third "rule"; start investing early. Learn about compounding interest, buy real estate and learn how to invest in the stock market.
