When saving some or your earnings for future use, inflation, deflation and devaluation are things to take into consideration. Precious metals certainly fit into a strategy aimed at preserving the value of the income you've already earned but plan to use in the future. Being prepared doesn't necessarily mean: "being prepared for Mad Max beyond thunderdome " type of scenarios. For me personally, being prepared means managing risks. And the risk of a currency suddenly losing 10% of its value is a very real one.
