  • How much gold should you have in a disaster? Sounds like a goofy question, but it's a common one. We're going to look at it from a few different angles.

      Exactly. I couldn't agree more. Currently, I have spent the last two years simply hedging. Hedging everything. No debt. Cash on hand. Prepped of course, and all that implies. And retreated to a much safer and affordable living scenario (instead of buying a house to retire in for $500K, I bought a sweet trailer in the country for $30K, and hedged all that $$$). I am in a position to ride out a 6 or 7 year depression. I might be a nutjob, because most aren't doing this. But I'm a nutjob who is close to invulnerable to a collapse. AND I feel I live like a king out here, though many would miss all the perks they find living more lavishly. Cheers.

  • @The_Argent
    @The_Argent 6 месяцев назад +13

    It's all going to heavily depend on the specific scenario.
    Market crash means you'll want enough to either barter or convert back to dollars to pay the bills.
    Natural disaster types you're probably better off carrying cash.
    Once you get into the real disaster types, like where the USD isn't recognized anymore, you'll have the best case for gold and silver as barter currency. At that point, however, you should have a bigger focus on securing necessities like food, water, fuel, shelter, means of protection etc and in a prolonged scenario, knowledge will be your biggest asset. Making water safe to drink, treating wounds, repairing gear, farming and animal raising etc.

    I got my ideal after 9-11, with my staff were unable to receive their weekly check from the corporate headquarters, which was in California. I was able to front 50% of their check in cash. But that was a nightmare, cause the staff was over 100 employees.
    I have since the 80' had a rainy day fund for 'now' emergency, and a 'slush-fund' for major purchases.
    But now that I'm retired I like having access to $10,000 at all times for 'just' for die hard emergency.
    So 4-gold coins and 50-silver rounds(which altogether weights about 3.5lbs) as a 'emergency fund' for a quick-n-grab and go.
    Equal about $10000..

    I wonder how financial planners would respond to a customer who said they only wanted a life insurance policy for 5-10% of their entire well being or health? I bet they would say that's not enough to keep you and your family afloat in the impending news of your demise.

    • @edb3877
      @edb3877 6 месяцев назад +4

      Would those be the very same financial planners who despise cash and gold in a portfolio, unless it is a piddling amount? Consider that gold and silver are likely to go up by at
      least several times, if not more, due to the fact that there will be a lot of people bidding on gold and silver, driving up the prices. What is 10% of one's net worth today could end
      up being 200% of their net worth during a SHTF scenario. But since no one knows or can know the future, we all just have to do what we think is right for us and our situation.

    You don't need gold and silver during a disaster , I lived thru a disaster and did not need my gold , it was for after. History shows us what coming and it does not fit in a disaster category. If you have a tornado that wipe's your small town out, that's a disaster and you can tell people you have insurance and gold or silver. SHTF or end of world you better keep your mouth shut, do some bartering till you can figure things out. Anyone who does not have some gold and silver will be behind the 8 ball from the start. Have a good day everyone its going to be all right, nothing is probably going to happen. Listen to 2 to 1 he will get you thinking.

    Loved the Ghost Busters references. lol
    As to gold, I own gold because: 1) it's an inflation hedge; 2) it's financial insurance to cover stock market losses; 3) it supplements my income in retirement; 4) it guarantees that I have
    money available to pay my property taxes; 5) it's a savings account; and 6) it's a fun hobby. I'm not sure that I buy into the EOTWAWKI scenarios but also cannot say that these won't ever
    happen. I am reminded of the prepper comment about, "It's better to have and not need than to need and not have." I stack for my children and grandchildren. The world has become a
    crazy place these days and it's very difficult for young folks to buy a home and save for retirement. I have about 20% of my net worth in gold and silver, which some would see as quite a
    lot, while others would say, "That's good but what about the other 80% of your wealth that is not insured?". To them I say, that if the world goes to 💩, the value of PMs will become
    MUCH greater, so 20% of my net worth would be worth several if not tens of millions today and that should be plenty. I am not saying that this is a perfect plan or that it can't possibly
    fail. There are too many variables in the future to ever pin it down precisely. But it looks like a pretty good attempt at doing the very best financial planning that I can.

    EOTW. I’m old enough that it wouldn’t substantially affect my life expectancy anyway. It’s not like “bugging out” or “survivalism” make any kind of sense for me personally. That said, I could probably share gold (+food, guns, ammo, books, etc.) with the neighbors, and make all our lives more pleasant, and maybe even improve the odds for the young families around here. And that’s self interest, not altruism.

    A Mad Max, Red Dawn world I think will never happen, unless an EMP attack occurs. I am more of the opinion that worst case, is something comparable to the Weimar Republic, Venezuela, or Zimbabwe.
    Depending on your expenses, I think enough to cover a year is best, including emergencies that may pop up. A economic collapse and hyperinflation doesn't mean there is no money, it's just that your saving will be worthless, but if you have a job, you will need to spend your paycheck very quickly before it loses value.
    In this case, having metals, just like a years food supply, doesn't mean you live off of it, but use it to supplement what you bring in, stretching it for possibly several years.
    Even today, if you are out of work, and no income at all, then you at least can afford to get thru the year, and if you cut back on all non essentials, you might go much longer. One might say just save cash for todays issues, but people always find a reason to spend their savings on unnecessary purchases, instead of saving it.
    Then again, if you save cash, inflation eats away at it, and if overnight hyperinflation happens, your cash might buy a loaf of bread.

      Consider that the sun is a huge generator of EMPs via coronal mass ejection events. It doesn't have to be an attack by some foreign country. Either way, a powerful
      EMP could knock modern society back into the mid-1850s era, where everything depends on burning wood and coal, steam engines, and lots of hard physical labor.
      The 1850s Carrington Event was just such an event. Telegraph offices burst into flames due to induced currents in the telegraph systems overheating the wires and
      other metal components of the system. Imagine what that would do to very sensitive micro-processors in today's world and just how much depends on those CPUs
      working routinely. Same for the big transformers of most electric utilities. We don't even make these in the US anymore, have to order them, and then wait for 18-24
      months before it is built, tested, and delivered. The demand for these transformers would be much greater than the supply, forcing costs much higher than usual.

Have a decent amount in my possession and also have a decent amount in my IRA portfolio (I’m retired). Barter? Sell to big boys? Kind of a conundrum. Especially since I’ve only been at this for less than two years. Ugh.

    I probably shouldn’t say here but I’m all in. Here in Australia we have something similar to your IRA or 401K and I put it all in physical metals about 5 years ago and still contribute. The difference is here we can’t touch it till legal retirement age. It’s for retirement/end of the world 😂 but I personally did it because I felt better about having real savings vs numbers in computer. I also have personal Gold savings I can touch which is close to a years worth I can liquidate if I have to.

      Considering just how stupidly most governments have handled their finances, it is hard for a lot of us to believe in those programs. If something can be
      botched up, someone in government WILL find the way. I've had IRAs and a 401k in my time but their time could be coming to a close as governments
      look at the $28T or so that is in those accounts. They have to be wondering just how to get their hands on that money so they can squander it. I suspect
      that some sort of a contrived "national emergency" will be the basics of it. The CBDC scam also will be part of this financial disaster. It would be just
      so much more effective to declare bankruptcy, repudiate the national debt, cut spending to what's affordable, and move on with life. But that's just too
      simple for them to even consider. No, they will want this to be complex beyond all understanding, so no one will question it or the need for it. 😕

      @BuildMontage 6 месяцев назад

      So while I don't disagree with you,@@edb3877 , in Australia, unlike the USA, it is compulsory to contribute a percentage of your salary to Superannuation (9.5%) (your version of 401K) and it's paid by your employer before you even see it. This usually just goes into a "fund" and sits there and rots or gets fees taken out of it, and when you hit 65 years old you can take it out...but not before... What you are able to do with a fair degree of resistance is what is called a SMSF or "self managed super fund" where you can take control of where the money is invested... So... rather than leave numbers in an account that likely will get confiscated by the grubberment or taxed to oblivion, I decided to cash it in and buy precious metals... my view was that if they are going to take it, its easier for them to take it from a super fund than it is to hunt down my gold vault... If they do, then it will be the same result as if i'd left it in my super fund, but I feel a little bit safer knowing it's a physical metal I can go and touch.

    So I have about 200oz of silver and 2oz of gold for my disaster fund. As it turns out, it was tested on January 5th. So what did I face. Right now, it's still going on. My brother got arrested. I had to bail him. Cost me 2500$ all amounts are in Canadian. Come forward from the 5th, he needed a lawyer 5000$. Today, he tried to leave this world. So an ambulance, doctor fees, yes in Canada, there can be fees. Right now, it's about $ 1400, so I'm at 8900$ also fuel for my car food on the road and other costs about 300$ as of right now, 9200$ Canadian. 200 in gold 6800$ 2 of gold 5200$ total $ 12000 in Canadian value. So I have $ 2800 left. Or about an ounce of gold. So it covered me to help my brother. Long story short there, he is mentally ill and needs a safety net. So I threw it out and caught him. He is still in the hospital and in a medically induced coma until tomorrow. My savings allowed me to do what I did. Now, I had cash as well and covered it that way. Why did I explain it in metal terms. Just to show that my mini hoard could have done it. I would have been okay. Now I know I can manage a medium emergency. Also, this is what a buried and can get at within 30 minutes. Also 12000$ is 5 months of all my needed expenses. It's not 5 of all my income for 5 months, but it would keep the lights on bills paid, and I would be comfortable. If I stretched that, I could make it 6 months and 2 weeks. I started small with a tube of rounds 14 years ago. It can be done. Just stick to the plan you make a day at a time.

    Diversification is the name of the game. Right now I am buying fractional gold. Since I live in France it is 19th century Napoleons and Roosters. 20 franc coins with 5.806 g gold. In SHTF situations enough for a month's worth of food for two people. Another iron in the fire is my huge garden with beans and grain in addition to fruits and vegetables. Third iron is I give a lot of food away so we have network connections. We are retired and don't have to go out for work. Also we can bicycle to the stores and markets. We can actually live quite well on our social security because France is cheap compared to the US. The upshot is to think in a diversification paradigm.

    a good amount of cash, and the rest of my cash is in 4 week US T-Bills, as that's the safest place to "park" cash and it gets 5.28% interest. I'm trying to decide what I'm going to

    In your videos you have made a point that I think, is just starting gain some ground. Modern Monetary Policy can be said to be a collectivist oriented economic control. It takes control of the economy away from the individual and gives it to a minority. I’ve been thinking a lot lately, about the ramifications of this economic control. Gold, and any form of valuables really, in the hands of the individual, allows some control over the individuals standing and life. Perhaps that’s why many forms of privatization and private property are under assault. (And they ARE under assault) The great argument over the ownership of crypto is that it is beyond, or at least, more difficult to control. In this increasingly centralized mirage of a utopia, gold makes sense.
