<prompt> Human: Im not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I was wondering what to expect if the government collapses before I retire? If my money is in an account sponsored by the government, wouldnt all the money be lost? Sorry if this is a stupid question.  <response>: 4 days ago someone asked this same thing.Youre going to have a lot larger problems if you see a collapse of the government than worrying about the value of your 401k.
