Buying Gold and Silver
As you prepare, some people will tell you to buy gold and silver. I disagree, for the family just beginning to prepare. I say this for many different reasons.
One, you can't eat silver and gold.
Silver and gold will offer no nourishment for your family's hunger, only food will do that.
Two, you can't defend yourself with silver and gold.
Silver and gold will offer no protection against the rapist, looters, and robbers, only guns and ammo will do that.
Three, you can't drink silver and gold.
Silver and gold will offer no quenching of your thirst, only water that you have stored or treated will do that.
Lastly, why should I, or any other person, sell you food, water, guns, or the other necessities of life if all I have to do is wait for you to die and then take your silver and gold.
With all that said, a family that has enough food, guns/ammo, medical supplies, power generation equipment, ... and is preparing for a financical emergency might want to buy some silver and gold.
Over at Total Survivalist Libertarian Rantfest, the guys and gals have some excellent advice/thoughts on silver and gold.
