(26,236 posts)36. Couldnt hurt I guess, I'm not doing it but then thats because I dont have the cash.

Gold, silver are usually the best bet if that happens and if you can afford them and no I dont advocate buying gold and silver because I dont personally believe it will get that bad but I am just saying worst case scenario.

In the end life will go on.

It's largely the right (particularly the far-right) that wants to get rid of the euro (and the EU).
