That, plus rampant government spending, […]

With skyrocketing housing prices, economic instability, and global unrest, the idea of a collapsing dollar isn’t too far off. Most preppers are already prepared for a serious financial crisis with material provisions like food, water supplies, and more, but many folks are lacking when it comes to financial IQ, specifically what happens to your assets.

Financial collapse and hyper-inflation planning must be factored into any apocalyptic scenario you are prepping yourself and your loved ones to survive – and hopefully thrive in

That is the question that seems to be on everyone’s minds. With U.S. debt reaching stratospheric heights, tens and tens of trillions of dollars worth, the prospect of a major depression seems all but unavoidable, and with it a collapse of the dollar that hasn’t been seen since the Great Depression.
