Many have posted that we do not know what tomorrow will bring. Tomorrow will bring the ability to make your own decisions, control your lifestyle, and decide how to survive short of getting into trouble with the law. A nuclear holocaust, environmental disaster, or a fall of financial markets may limit our choices, but we still have control of our lives, it is called freedom. Think of how many do not have this luxury.
As far as the best place to live, I believe it is the United States. It does not matter the state, it is the place you can survive and be happy. I live in two different states that do not charge income tax and border a state that does not have a sales tax. As far as the OP's post I am stock piling all of non ferrous material because I have enough space and can survive without selling it. If we end up using the barter system in the future it will be valuable in my retirement. My belief is at the least it will keep up with inflation. This is just an opinion on the subject.
