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, 1891Comment

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.Originally posted by Lorizael
I have a crazy friend who's been planning for this for some time. He's got a number of... uh... resources stockpiled that should come in quite handy.
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!

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.Comment

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.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment
