Don’t have the money to buy gold in the first place, and still essentially with my parents still for college, so what can I do to prepare for what’s probably coming?

I used to buy some silver every month until I got laid off. I need to get back into it.

how does one even liquidate silver? there's a decent chance the dollar will collapse, but I don't see the world moving away from fiat currency anytime soon. It will just be replaced with the ruble or the Yuan or the Euro, or even the globalhomo digital currency.
if one tries to buy food at the supermarket with a gold or silver bar, they would be told to fuck off. even a farmers market won't accept what is essentially bartering. and even if there is a full collapse of society, people will be more interested in food and resources than silver.
Lethn is a brit, so probably can't buy survival goods and definitely can't buy the always valuable precious alloy called "ammo", made of lead, copper and brass.
Ammo is the best investment.
High longevity (if stored properly), tradable in discrete amounts, and immediately useful in most scenarios.
This is the second time Ive seen it today, I'm curious you're logic on being so insistent on bars. I tend to prefer coins if they don't come at too much of a price premium. They can be authenticated to a very high certainty by look and feel alone and come in various sizes for easy trade. It's not like whatever government minted them can decide later its not authentic after the fact.
Oh ok, I never buy old coins really and just stick to highly mainstream commodity grade coins, not collectible stuff. Although I do have some old 90% silver US coins, but those were just things I've acquired occasionally, and there are so many of those in existence they are a known commodity.
