<prompt> Human: Do any of you have a plan if there is a major paradigm shift in the US? I am contributing 6 to my 401k and that is matched 100 and I have emergency fundssaving. But what if the economy just tanks like that of Greece and the dollar is worthless? My 401k and savings wont help much then. I am guessing people would suggest investing in gold but still I think that would be a bad choice since getting back to a gold standard would be difficult. I think my plan is to put a small amount away and then buy some property and put a cabin on it. That way if shit really hits the fan then I have something real that I own. I just cant help but feel that with all of my assets just being on paper 401k, savings etc. and all tied to the dollar there is a real risk that they could not be there if times get tough. Maybe investing in foreign markets? But if the dollar crumbles who knows what would happen throughout the world. Not trying to sound like a doomsday prepper but god would it suck to save your whole life then watch it disappear with a few accounting entries and I want to have a plan if that happens.  <response>: Head on over to zerohedge if youre actually worried about this nonsense.
