Is it generally true that most of the posters on this board have adequately prepared for the scenario where things stay pretty much as they have for the past 50 years?
What I mean is, do you have a good diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds in addition to your guns, gold, silver, and food cache? Can you support yourself when you get old, or will you fall back on medicare and the charity of those who stayed invested in the markets even in the dire times?
I hear a lot about "they didn't prep so they better not come to my house asking for food". Those of us who stayed in our diversified investments don't want you coming to our "house" either (house being bank account for the less sharp).
All I am suggesting is you should also prep for the scenario where the world just continues running as normal.
