I would not trust a substantial amount in a bank. At least not over the FDIC guarantee. If you are parking your money in a bank account earning nothing, that is not smart. Just use the bank as a place to transfer money from place to place. Who would keep more than several thousand in a bank anyway?

What do you do with your money if it’s not in the bank? Keep it under your mattress?

It depends on what you call money.

I just got a box at a private vault (safe haven in South Jordan). They said they were at 10% capacity in November and now they are at 60%.

That 60% will be surprised when the Feds roll in and confiscate all anonymous boxes, under the pretense of drug cartel money laundering….

And those who do ‘fess up to the contents of their boxes, will then suffer a long ordeal of proving income and taxes paid, thru endless audits. It will be a nightmare for them. (Check out how this already went down back east a couple years ago).


Besides,
It was Peter, James and John, who indicated “they have sufficient for their needs” when queried by Satan.

Who then went on with shouted promises that he’ll “use the treasures of the earth to buy up armies and navies, false priests who oppress, and reign with blood and horror upon this world”.

How does Satan collect up money to carry forward his nefarious plans? He himself doesn’t mine gold, or create wealth. But he can influence the accumulation, and by continuously whispering into one’s ear, eventually guide courses of events from behind the scenes.

If there wasn’t piles of money around, Satan wouldn’t have the power and minions he does now.


Maybe it’s just me… but participating wholly and fully in Babylon and saving up great sums of money, investing in the continuation and growth of Babylon, seems to indicate where the heart is focused. And shows which side one’s life has been chosen to serve.

We are so used to the early indoctrination of wealth in retirement, that it is almost impossible to pull the scales from our eyes, and see truely what we have labored for throughout our lives…

The seizing of safety deposit boxes occurred recently in California under the very guise that you mentioned.

We keep enough in the bank to pay two months of bills. Any excess funds are going towards building the homestead in the country. Chicken coops, pens for the pigs... the goats... More fruit and nut trees... gardening tools. (and a bit of lead)

We understand that EVERYTHING temporal can be taken from us. As much as we prepare, our main goal is to remain strong in our faith so that we can serve as commanded.

Some years ago with young kids we lived in a ward in a working class suburb. A new family moved in from out of town. Dressed nicely, well spoken, but with an edge to them. The lived with the wife’s older mom.

Turns out, a business partner screwed them over, and they lost everything. Showing up with several suitcases each, an crammed into the small house with their three kids.

In hind site, my wife perceptibly realized this family arrive fully embarrassed and humiliated, and just didn’t want to be judged and be made laughing stocks.

They remained in the ward for several years, until back on their feet, they moved out to the Midwest to a new job, and career path. Healed up and healthy again.

Catastrophe comes in many forms. But I have found, “if ye are prepared, ye shall not fear…”

Spiritually first, then mentally, then physically, then temporally…

Have this ^^^^ and one will be able to survive anything, while helping others thru the clouds and mists…

Not a bad option...lol...a better option is to have a variety of value based assets like gold, silver, land, timber, cattle, farm equipment and a little under the mattress just in case. Probably the most valuable asset a person can have are some skills like farming, mechanical, construction and other useful labor skills that are rare in the younger generations.

Agreed. But for what money/cash we do keep to pay bills and such, we use a local credit union - which will hopefully, be the last ones to go under. No affiliation to the big nationwide/worldwide banks.

Historical illiteracy and failure of imagination of how fragile currency actually is, is naïve, and your children will pay the price.

If you are unfamiliar, everyone here should understand Executive_Order_6102. That was done by a US government at a fraction of the power of the hegemon of today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Order_6102

Anything over large amounts of any value can already be indefinitely confiscated. One day food will qualify.

During the great depression my great grandparents had their bank where they had their savings and home loan through suddenly go under. First it took all their savings and then it foreclosed on their home for failure to pay.

Many of the Jews who survived the holocaust are those who had a few gold and silver coins to bribe guards and others into helping them escape. The Venezuela's who weren't eating rat the last few years were the ones who had the foresight to have some external funds like metals and crypto that would survive inflationary explosions.

While living in Zimbabwe my family would withdraw only the amount needed to go shopping for that very day. Because any extra withdrawn would be worthless by the next week.

Just some examples. "It hasn't happened here in my lifetime" is not a valid excuse. Our children will look to us with hungry desperate eyes one day and on that day it will be too late to prepare. If you have a newer phone and cars you can afford to have a few thousand in precious metals. In utah you can still buy silver and gold anonymously with cash and tax free. Get a couple gold and dozen or more silver and hide them. Sleep better at night, knowing you have a backup plan.

In todays world bank is largely irrelevant, its fiat currency and the stability of the institution who is backing is what matters. Worth noting, credit unions faired much better in 2008 crash.

I’m hoping those on this forum have at least a hundred rounds of silver, hidden somewhere.

When push comes to shove, and it takes an ounce of silver to fill the tank, you’ll be glad you have it.

Yeah, I know it costs $25/ oz right now, and with a store premium you might pay a couple bucks more, but you’ll be glad you bought silver right now.

I also bought four bags of silver coins, pre ‘65 US silver coins for making change.

Five to ten fifty dollar bills will help when SHTF, before greenbacks are toilet paper. But you’ll have to spend them quick as the collapse is happening, before the blind sheep wise up.

Speaking of TP, don’t think it’ll be worth anything in the aftermarket after the collapse. We privileged pampered few can hardly think of another way to wipe our @#$ besides Costco Toilet Paper, but you’ll soon figure out that six billion people have figured out how clean their butt with out the luxury of TP, and
Putting twenty cases of TP into home storage won’t be valuable for trading when people are hungry.

It’s going to be a s@%#t show, and panicked neighbors will congregate. Expect mob action, because they will be rallied by larcenous neighborhood leaders to raid your supplies as some kind of warped justification is made.

You better have three months of food hidden away, and enough left in your pantry for the first burglers to clear out, without getting your whole lot.

Plan on hunkering down, and you’d better have the best reason in the world for leaving your home, not just some errand, or feeling to go see what can still be bought.

People will be car jacked, and brutal beatings will be normal. You’ll always have to leave someone armed and guarding your home storage, instructed to resort to defensive violence while you are away.

Read up on grief counseling. Watch videos of true life disasters, and real war footage with dead bodies to accustom oneself for the horrors.

DO NOT GET INJURED..!!

Do not go to a Hospital. Period. They are gateways to capture, and zero good will come to those who go seeking help after the first few days of collapse have occurred.

Reason being, bean counters have instituted “just-in-time-re-supply” so stocks of everything will dwindle almost immediately.

Better to get to know a few different medical folk in your ward, ask what stuff you should add to your home storage, and then go to them personally and privately during the collapse.

Up here we had church cancelled last Sunday because the power went out in the east side of town where the chapel is located, and it was -25 degrees overnight. Ward Building was frozen.

A couple days ago my wife visiting with other RS sisters heard all kinds of moaning about how the other ward members didn’t even know how to charge their cell phones during the power outage. Let alone how to heat their house or cook with the lights out.

Good grief… the shepards have stopped warning the sheep, and the suffering will be great.

What it’ll do, is cause many many church members, who ought to be self sufficient, heading out to FEMA feeding centers, and regional church leadership urging prepared members to turn in all their home storage to civil authorities for the soup kitchens.

I hope I’m already on the other side of the veil when that happens, but while here, I still have the responsibility prepare my married kids to stand on their own two feet and think thru the crisis and evaluate the direction/orders coming down from “on-high”….

I realized long ago that if you put your money under your mattress that you should make sure it isn't a waterbed!

I ended up moving 80% of my reserves this week to various places outside of the bank to get down to the FICA limit. Not that think my bank will go under. I don't think most banks will go down any faster than other institutions and there is no good place to put things if all goes bad. gold and silver are pretty useless, land is only ok if you can pay the taxes or they'll take it out of principle these days.

Funny, the only real way to save is to buy alcohol, maybe fancy wine, cigarettes are always good to trade, may an old horde of porn movies. you know, things that those stupid folks left with something you want would give up to you and even let there families down.

An old friend (actually WW 2 vet and area 70) talked about the most valuable assets he was given in the war in Europe. ..... cigarettes and drink coupons for for the O-Club. he would get anything he asked for in trade for them he said. Nobody wanted his left or meals or chocolate and what would you do with dollars on the front anyway, other than gamble.
