Anyways, with the stock market crash. Buying anything big around this time is a bit risky.

Reloading is a legitimate hobby
. And household security is encouraged in the US if anything.
Buying a house or land is always risky. Just don't get a variable interest rate loan, ever.

I think a castle/compound/fortress/bunker is almost useless in an urban/suburban environment. The amount of resources that would be required to secure it and your family would be too great. If their was rioting and people heard you had food/water/precious goods, it would be very hard to secure it against a mob of several hundred people. Now if you live out in a rural area, it would be a bit easier to defend as you wouldn't have the population density as cities do. I guess if you pooled your resources with several families/friends, it would be easier to create a more secured environment. As the rioting in London showed, do not underestimate the mob mentality even if they only have rocks, malakoff cocktail and their feet.

You're on the wrong forum to find out about the supposed NA union and the Amero
. I do know there was a treaty signed a couple years ago(Bush Jr.) and it basically signaled an intent to combine NA markets. Which was the first step to forming the European Union back when it was just a conspiracy/rumor.
Tranz, I was kidding about the different defensive structures.
I have a house in the country, albeit still under construction. I feel that living in the city is not a security/safe decision. It's actually more dangerous statistically. Living in the city is purely for economics(more, better jobs, lower cost of living) or convenience IMHO. The only thing I really miss is high speed, no limit internet. That and living in a finished home...but anyway.
So what are you two going to do about a house and a car in the next couple of years?
