If you're selling stocks around here you may be rolling the doughnut unless they're collapsing and folding.

I look at it like this;
We've got a head start on all these salary types. I've been storing preps for next month all my life.
Yeah, probably the wrong crowd, unless you're brokering food, ammo, gold, silver, salt, etc., etc.
I could technically sell individual stocks but that is not the emphasis. The end-of-the-world crowd would never buy those. I can sell commodities also, but gold is about half of what it was when Glenn Beck told everybody to buy it.
The key to financial planning is to mitigate risk regardless of the environments. I consider prudent financial planning to be another tool in the prepper's toolbox.
If you die before the end of the world, I doubt your wife will be able to pay the bills with canned goods and ammo.
No but she'll eat and the repo men are going to be in a world of hurt.
Stay single. Step one to any sound financial plan. True enough!
In all seriousness, I don't want to detract from the purpose of this thread any more than I have already so I'll leave it at this. If you think you might live past 70 and might want to have some form of retirement like some of the old guys around here, there is room for conservative financial planning in your life.
