Well I think everyone's game plan is going to differ, but I would just consider some basic principles. This isn't much of a time to gamble, though if you're in a comfortable position there is without a doubt money to be made. Focus on getting yourself secure. Get yourself around friends and family. Focus on each other, enjoy the time together, relax, prepare but make fun of it while you do it. Weapons, ammunition, canned food, frozen food but only to an extent in case of electricity outages. Just generally prepare yourself. Me myself, I should finally be done with work for 10 days after tomorrow, I live 1000 miles away from family and friends downtown in a major city. I'm hitting the road as early as possible and getting to them with a stack of resumes to relocate. Just stay safe out there, the virus is the virus, but the general calamity of everything combined is a real problem.

There was a guy that came on a program I listen to called caravan to midnight the John b Wells program. He was discussing the next world reserve currency. He said it will come about when the dollar is at its strongest. After the next reserve currency is rolled out the dollar would be massively inflated but it would still exist. You would have two different currencies the world reserve currency which is mostly for the rich and the dollars for all the plebs. This was about three years ago maybe he was talking out of his ass maybe not but I wouldn't hold dollars.

When you order ammo online it's often much cheaper to get a case. Sometimes you'll even have shipping knocked off if an order is over a certain amount.

Pay off your debts and/or get out from under overvalued nonessential assets. If you have a boat, a second vehicle, a new vehicle that you actually don’t need, payments on expensive electronics, etc. You are about to be upside down on all of your debts when we enter the depression.

Other than that, hold onto cash. This is a time to WAIT. Spend money with that same concept. Buy dependable, sensible things that will help you fend for yourself. IE, this isn’t the time to get a smart watch. It’s a time to get a solid, repairable analog watch.
