Maybe I'm naïve, but it seems counterintuitive to me to believe in the ultimate devaluation of our currency and, at the same time, to encourage people to pay off debt now and hoard up cash. I understand having an emergency fund on hand in the interim. But shouldn't we be most concerned with "hoarding" tangible commodities—primarily a substantial food/water supply to sustain our families through what seems to be an imminent crisis of widespread economic demise? Then, if our personal finances permit, converting our savings into real assets like gold, silver, etc.?
Help me out here. I think this is about as personal and practical as we can get with applying our ideology… at least it is for a guy like me who lives from paycheck to paycheck trying to support my family (without latching on to the government teat) as the standard of living plummets.
