I think we all need to start being counter intuitive with our investments and wealth building strategies. Tying up more money in a bank, or 401K, or IRA, or any traditional investment, may not be the smartest thing to do right now.

I think everyone should have some precious metals and cash in their hands right now. I think we should all be adopting a general philosophy of greater independence and self-sufficiency. This does not mean we should all become survivalists. I mean it in a more general way. Think of ways to improve your independence in financial and physical terms.

A small farm could be a great way to achieve all of these things, while also improving your health and lifestyle. Furthermore, you don't have to stop being a part of modern society either. It isn't about being a hermit. It is about greater general self-sufficiency and also returning to value the small things in life.

All for now.
