Times are scary in the world we live in. Countries are overwhelmed by debt and are attempting to get out of debt with more debt. Not all Americans are experiencing tough financial times. Many of us are financially prudent and have savings for that rainy day.

Were an economic collapse to happen, where would we want to have our money stored? If our current investments were to lose there value, what investments would be worthwhile?

Stocks – Because stocks are ownership in businesses, they could possibly have value if hyper-inflation occured. It's possible that stock ownership could maintain its value through the hard times. Most likely, the businesses would also struggle during an economic collapse and there would be very little demand for the stock in the times of most need.

Bank Savings/CD's – The paltry interest rates being offered for savings in banks, money market accounts, and CD's is almost worthless right now. It actually losses money when you take into account inflation. The truth is that in our banking system today, money isn't even tangible. It's actually just a series of numbers stored on computers. If the dollar and economy collapsed, our current savings would do almost nothing for us, we might not even be able to get the money out of the bank.

Gold – This strange yellow metal has been the symbol of wealth and prosperity for thousands of years. Gold has always been coveted. Many economic blogs and videos are recommending Gold as solid investment. In recent times, gold has increased in value, and as an investment, has done better than stocks. Gold has recently increased in value, and may not see value rises for much longer. The big advantage of gold is that it is actually tangible unlike money in bank accounts. But, if hyper-inflation happened, jewelery would probably be at the bottom of the desired items list.

Real Estate – Real Estate could be a pretty good investment in the event of hyper-inflation. Inflation provides relief from those with debt, but punishes those who have saved money. If hyper-inflation happened, it might be very easy to pay off existing real estate mortgages, thus giving you a free and clear asset. Housing, is one of the basic needs, and people will always need shelter.. properties] will offer a way to earn residual income..

Food – The surest and safest investment in the event of an economic collaps is with food storage. Food and water are basic necessities of life and will always have value. Food storage will not only help sustain your family, but would also be a valuable trading commodity in the event of economic collapse.

We can hope and pray that our nation will find a way to avoid economic collapse, but just to be safe, right now is a great time to stock up on cheap freeze dried food storage.
