The fact that it hasn't happened to YOU yet is just dumb luck.
This does not even take into consideration a possible currency collapse. If history teaches us anything, it is that chances are very high that it's going to happen again, as it has happened over and over throughout the history of mankind. If you want to see how that may pan out and what possible disaster it could bring, spend some time researching Argentina's crash. It just may save your life.
I'm honestly starting to think most of you do not know a lot about world history, currency, or economics. Because if you did, you wouldn't make 1/2 of the comments you do. History ALWAYS repeats itself.

Well you're looking at the History the wrong way.
Yes take measures to be prepared for natural disasters in your area, or move somewhere safer. Don't buy a house where they have wild fires, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes or volcano eruptions. It seems a lot of the people who are scared do.
So make sure your home is able to withstand it or you have the provisions to see the disaster out. Common sense. The river here has a very large man made bank to stop it over flowing when the snow on the mountains melts. The Government looking after us.
Doomsday, what is and when will it happen? Give us ideas of what's coming and plans to make sure you'll get through it.
Government take over. Too late, it happened years ago in most places. This year a lot of people will vote for a new President. Either a man for the people or a 1% representative. Has he said how he will cut Government spending and give tax breaks to the rich yet? Buying votes of the rich again.
Yes the World is in the shitter financially. Too many were riding the wave of easy money coming out of the Financial bubble and when it burst, they had no
Plan B. They only had shares going down the Tubes.
Every single person on this board will I hope reach the age of 60. IT WILL HAPPEN. So what have they done to prepare for that? I knew it was coming and now have no worries. I didn't sit and plan for some myth I had seen on the TV or at the cinema happening and planned for something that isn't going to happen. Remember I said plan for things that do happen where you live.
