 Before
there was money, there was barter. And every
time the currency of the day is recalled or
depressed, people revert to bartering as a means
of getting the provisions they need.
BARTER

during wars or currency recall, the following
products have been desirable barter items:

candy

Well, That Part They Still Don't Agree
On
What we know for
near certain is that the restructuring of world
economics is predicted to include a depression
so severe that it will rival the 'dirty 30s' for
its place in history, bank closures and currency
recall.
What that means
for you and I is that we need to do something to
protect our assets. We need to begin
now.
Everyone's
strategy for maintaining economic solvency will
be somewhat different, because a contingency
plan depends on a combination of many important
factors.
Whether you have
a fortune or are just getting by, protecting
what you have requires an objective stare at
your financial picture.

Reduce Financial Risk
Stocks, bonds
and other promissory notes may not be the best
idea right now. Locking your savings into term
arrangements can also be risky. Pieces of paper
registering wealth, may not be worth the paper
they are printed on in a disastrous economy. If
the banks close you won't be able to get them
anyway.
During past
economic disruptions and in the event of an
extended crisis silver, gold, precious stones
and collectibles like rare coins, art and
first-edition books have not only held their
worth, but often increased in value.
Precious metals
and stones are thought to be the best all around
choice: they are portable, liquid and private -
all important elements in a crisis. Whatever you
decide to do - do it now! You can get started
for as little as $100.
We
are not financial experts. Consulting a
reputable company with a proven record of
integrity, client education and longevity is
advisable. Remember however that vested interest
is not going to give advice detrimental to
themselves. Buyer beware.

While You're At It, Get ALL Your Official
Documents In Order Too!
Without a paper
copy of official information you'll have trouble
proving things that you may need to prove. Proof
of age, citizenship, marital status, property
and information about money owed and paid could
be vital in maintaining lifestlye.
Begin gathering
missing hard copies today. Do just assume that
you already have all the documents you might
need in a crisis. Check each one to be sure.
Securing copies of official documents usually
takes from 4 - 12 weeks.
