Money (26)
Most people (Saints and non-members alike) currently thought of as wealthy
have their wealth
tied up in credit-related investments of one kind or another-the stock market,
bonds, CD's, real estate, etc. Almost nobody keeps a big stash of cash around
because there's been no need for large amounts of cash for a long, long time.
All these currently wealthy people could suddenly become poor if a financial
crash were to hit us. I don't mean metaphorically poor, I mean really freezing,
starving poor, broke, destitute. All their resources will be in the wrong form for the new conditions.
Only those who have cash will be wealthy after a national disaster; survival requires cash.
Cash For Survival
The answer to the money question is a simple one:
Have cash, silver coins and green pieces of paper with pictures of dead presidents
on them. Start converting some of your credit investments and electronic investments,
and paper certificates into real money (cash). lf you have cash after the disaster,
you will be one of the few wealthy people in the world. Not only will you be able
to survive the disastrous times, you will be able to use your cash to build a
prosperous future for you and your family.
A word of warning: you must be very careful to keep a low profile now and in the future.
You want to attract as little attention as possible now while you convert to cash and later
when you use your cash, for two different but equally vital reasons.
First, although you have every right to convert all your investments and savings into cash,
doing so may invite the attention of the government DEA agents who may think
you're some kind of drug dealer. You want to avoid the attention of bank tellers
or branch managers who might report to the DEA that you are withdrawing large sums of cash.
Secondly, when everyone around you is impoverished and hungry, it's very prudent
to keep your own wealth out of sight" A desperate man will go to extremes to feed his
family and keep them sheltered and warm; a hungry man will do what is necessary to
procure food. Someone who flashes a lot of cash is courting danger.
Gold and silver certificates will be worth the paper they are written on when you can’t
get to or in your bank. You cannot buy or trade paper certificates for food or water.
Get your cash in 10’s and 20’s, Nothing higher than a 50 dollar bill.
Storing Cash
Now you need to find a safe place to hide your cash. First, tell no one that you have a
load of cash, except possibly your spouse, and don't tell your spouse unless you're
absolutely certain of the strength of your marriage. I’m not kidding! Women will give
up and surrender all long before a man will.
Hard times drive people to do things they would not do ordinarily, and if the hammer hits
hard as it may well do, these will be the hardest times in our country's history.
lf your spouse is a full and completely trustworthy celestial partner in your life,
consider yourself fortunate and keep no secrets; otherwise, be careful.
