Now they called him a hoarder but if we're honest that is essentially what a prepper is, still that's not the interesting part. This lonely old guy in Nevada died in his home and since he had no friends his body actually set in his house for a full month before a neighbor investigated because of the smell. Long story short they find the dead guy had a hoard of $7 million in gold coins and stacks and stacks of canned food. It's actually an interesting video clip from CNN.
Nah..If he was a GOOD prepper he'd wired the place to blow during the illegal entry of nosey people...My place will leave a 40ft crater if they try to get in!!!!
You insult this man when you call him a prepper, that euphemism for survivalist used by people who live in fear of family members, so-called friends, and government. This man was a canny investor. He was a man who would have survived any possible breakdown of the economy. I'll call him a survivalist, a term few deserve these days. He was no frightened "prepper".
Yeah, I'd read about that. What stood out in my mind was the $7 million. He's not the first "loner" to pass on, leaving a fortune that no one suspected he had. That's how he accumulated it, by not letting anyone know. I do not feel sorry for such a man. You can be sure he was living the exact life he wanted to live. Happy is right...he was not frightened. The money served its purpose: kept him at ease and at peace for the remainder of his days. We should all live out our days in such peace and equanimity. But that won't happen!
Hmmm... that's the ideal way I see myself ending life. Of course, I won't have 7 million in gold... and I won't have a neighbor smelling the decay because there won't be neighbors. I'd assume the various scavenging insects, rodents, coyotes, etc will have reduced my "shell" to just bones before anyone would happen upon them. At least I hope so, because that would put me in just the sort of lifestyle/place I eventually aspire to (leading up to that event, in the end, of course). Essentially a "ghost." Very few folks ever notice "ghosts."
My bet on the future is that very few places will afford that sort of tranquility--really a matter of luck in finding such a place before hell breaks loose (again, my bet on the future). It must be a place that few want to go now... and even fewer will want to go then. So one can only hope that one's corpse will rot for months before anyone stumbles upon it; not only is that a sign of isolation in death, it is a sign of security in life.

Naw, in a real economic break down gold would have no more value then it had in the Warsaw Ghetto which is to say none at all.
