          Beam me up, Scotty!
          I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              New Zealand. Incredibly beautiful landscape, nice people, English-speaking. Generally sensible.

              Of course, you'd need to have your money be worth something in order to do it. Which means leaving BEFORE said crash. If you wait too long, you're going hat-in-hand. No guarantee at all the Kiwis would take you in.

                Where is said friend planning to go? Or is he/she a survivalist with a compound in the mountains somewhere? That didn't work so well for Randy Whatever-his-name-was whose wife got drilled by an FBI sniper, as I recall.

                Convert your dollars to somthing else if you expect to have anything of value to take with you when you flee. The Treasury already printing money at high speed, and now Paulson wants full power over the money related to the bailout. No audits and no other authority above the Secretary of the Treasury, not even the President!

                  Yeah, the GF's talking about buying gold. These are all contingency plans, I for one don't intend to leave my homeland until it gets to at least a 2.8 on my Misery Index.

                      I hear quite a few people suggesting that it's a good idea to put one's money in gold. Could I get an explanation to why it's a good idea or is it just survivalist nonsense. I'm honestly curious.

                        Gold is no good for surviving, it is, however, very shiny and retains its value far better than things like paper and promises when things go south for the winter.

                              Don't go anywhere, just figure out which region of the country will be best when the splitting of the states happen. The Northeast and Northwest are probably your best bet.

                                Aruba, Belize, or some other caribbean island where poverty doesn't stand in the way of having a good time.
