When it rains, it pours crap.

So.

Hungary's economy is in ruins. Some sources say that the state's going to declare bankrupcy in a month.

Dear Soldat Forums,
how do I survive?
[keep it civil and atleast semi-serious]

[Rai-Dei]

Eh, stay cool man.

80% of the world will soon follow.

[LtKillroy]

Stock up on cheap stuff. (soup and stuff) If you can afford it get a gun. If you don't have a basement start digging. That's how the US won the Cold War and is a great idea in times of complete anarchy. (Who does the state declare bankrupcy to?)

Seriously though, a firearm would be a good idea.

States declare bankruptcy to other states, to its citizens, and any other investors. If a powerful creditor chooses not to recognize it you could be in trouble, but that doesn't really happen anymore. There isn't a regulating agency of any kind; the government in question just says they don't plan on paying some or all of their current debts. They don't even have to say anything, they can just stop paying. Obviously its not so simple as all that, there are pretty big civil consequences for this action.

demonic

get ready for being homeless for an indefinite period

something you might want to consider: buying gold. before the shit hits the fan that is. im probably going to get someone shouting about how gold will do this or that in the future, but ultimately; gold is safer than money right now. its hard to disagree with that

and right now is all you should be concerned about if your country is gonna file for bankruptcy. sure the future matters too, but you can only deal with that after youve secured your position now

i would also suggest mostly everything else thats been said from buying a gun to buying food and essentials

Fun fact 1#: Hungary has a.. consensus reality of what we call security. If you believe it, it exists. If you don't, then you start seeing the gangs that make some parts of cities or rural regions near terminal to cross even in daylight. What can make that better? That only state armed facilities can own and carry firearms. Civilians not even with a good reason. And yes, some people have tried 'my familiy lives in gang territory and there's no police department in a twenty mile vicinity'. Didn't work. So, no guns.

But that kind of shit can start tumbling. You know how prohibition works: the guys you want to keep away from the stuff will end up as the only ones owning them. Also see: drugs.

Supply looting might be a good idea. Or rather, stocking up on food, and vaulting in. My main fear is hyper-inflation, which would basically render my monetary reserves nill (it's enough to hold out for summer, but if the currency prices go apeshit, it won't be enough to buy a pound of apples).

Our family source of income is my dad, and he's a pensioner - so if the state goes bankrupt, that means no pension. No pension, we're royal screwed. (-:

Move before it is too late!

[The Geologist]

You could...

Stock up on food, as has been mentioned.

Move elsewhere?

Go Survivorman style and learn to live in the wilderness, eating wild edibles and such.

Donate bodily fluids.

I'll try and think of some more.

[N. Escalona]

Remember to stick to your morals even when times are hard, and that theft is only permissible when you're sure you'll die without it. Even then, take only what you truly need and return it or something suitable as soon as possible.

Get money out of the banks and into your pocket. Gold would only be a good idea if you had loads of cash, which I'm guessing you don't. Invest it instead in food and the means to produce it. Then seriously consider moving to a more rural area. Joining relatives would be ideal if that's an option. Grow things.

The government could target hoarders so you'd need to put a huge amount of thought into stashing food in that situation. Perhaps even a dummy stash to give them when they threaten you. Perhaps I'm getting into this a bit much but you can't be too careful.

[ds dude]

Well, stay protected, barricade yourself.  Your country won't be the only one.

Good luck to you.

I always get depressed when I see or know someone else who is depressed. And I am always depressed, so it adds on to my depression.

1) Buy/Take as many foods and clothings as you can.
2) Get a big tent for you to live
3) I hope you survive through the hell-hole of yours.

[The Geologist]

Hey, hook me up with one of those while you're at it.

[jrgp]

Donate bodily fluids.

Can you please elaborate? I've heard talks about people selling semen and blood but I honestly have no idea how you go about doing that or if it's at all lucrative.

Demonic, I wish you the best. Is it at all possible for you and your father to emigrate to a financially stable country nearby?

I'm not even sure if it's possible where he's at.  Nor do I know rates for donating semen.  Last I remember (college), donating blood got you ~20-30$ per donation, maybe a little more.  So long as you haven't gotten a tattoo in the past year and have no STDs or other illnesses, you're free to donate.  I was just lucky enough to go to college in a town where the donation center was within a block of where I lived.  Places that do this sorta stuff advertise, and I believe they hooked you up to some machine that separated out particular components of your blood (plasma?) that they were looking for.

Unfortunately I had too much of a tenacity to get tattoos.

Think you have to be a certain age to donate semen, clean of drugs, disease, etc., and possibly be in some sort of good social standing.  Then they give you a dirty mag and ask you to fill up a cup, or at least try to fill it up.

[Smegma]

Screw the blood and go all out plasma. I know you can get 50 bucks a session.
