Storing foreign currency cannot protect you as much as you want, traveling abroad is your best option for "preparing for the worst".
Ex1: If the neighborhood generator stopped providing services because many of the residents cannot afford it anymore, are you willing to buy your own generator and deal with all its hassle?
Ex2: If one of your family members is dependant on a medical supplement that dealers are not interested in importing it anymore since most cannot afford, are you willing to deal with the hassle of importing it yourself?
Ex3: If supermarkets stopped importing 90% of the brands and only kept basic elementary items, are you willing to accept eating the same stuff every day?
*reference: all countries that are dealing with currency devaluation who rely on importing to live.
Talking is easy man, If I had the option to travel id do it immediately, but i still have my job here and my responsibilities especially since my parents are now completely jobless.
1-yes im the kind of person to prepare for the worst; I did buy a 50amp silent generator a couple of years back and I use it often.
2- Iack of certain medical supplies its a problem yes but what are the chances of that happening soon ? i say if things dont improve at all in the upcoming year, then yes there is a high probability. So this is a minor concern for now.
3-yes i dont really mind, plus we started taking care of our land by farming and agri, im planting many of the basic veggies etc...
Again I made a mistake and put too much trust in this country and im paying the price by staying, but im not giving up that easily, i love my country and i always hated immigrating.
