The last time I checked, the US dollar is rapidly declining in value. I believe it's at 35 cents compared to the Euro now. That means 2 dollars litterally don't add up to one. Because of this, I haven't done anything such as get a loan, mortgage, car note, etc. Before the dollar becomes worthless, should I try buying up it's money's worth in gold/platinum or start using Euros/British pounds instead? I'm not really knowledgable about economic stuff like this so I just want to protect my assets and stuff like that.

Meh, you could always do what I've been doing these past few years.

1.) Find a country that you like.

2.) Research their local currency.

3.) If their currency is relatively stable, begin investing in their currency, if not, find a new country.

4.) Upon the US's impending economic collapse, move to your selected country.

I've been investing in Costa Rica over the years and should be able to live pretty comfortably down there if I were to move today. If the collapse doesn't happen until after I retire, then I'll likely move down there anyway.

if you really believe the currency is giong to collapse. i'd say you should buy as much **** as you can and rack up debt. when it collapses your wages might go up to over a grand an hour.

Before the economy fell, 1 pound was worth over 2 dollars.
The dollar vs the pound is better now than it was.

Pound is weak.
