My cousin is in bankruptcy and he has $3 thousand his grandfather left him. He is telling me he is going to buy a oz of gold and buy a 1 year worth of food that last 25 years for$1,750 from my patriot supply. He is a doomsday type of guy and I'm like dude you are crazy. I told him he just needs to save that money in his house and don't put it in a bank account because he is in bankruptcy. I told him to use that money for a emergency or put it towards bankruptcy to get out of it quicker. What recommendation would yall give him in his situation. He was mad because he said I was in his buisness and telling him what to do but I thought he should save that money. Was I wrong for telling him my opinion as a friend?

It sounds like your friend doesn't want the help. He also seems like an irrational person which may be a reason he is facing bankruptcy.

You weren't wrong for giving him a sane opinion.

Thanks I hope he listens but that's his life and his money. I just hope I don't have to say I told you so or he asks me for money lol.

This is one case where "under the mattress" may be the best option.

He sounds like he's beyond helping though.

Don't worry, I'm sure he has plenty of guns and ammunition in order to scare off the collectors.

Wait, is this the OT? =)

So your friend is a screw the government, I'm looking out for myself guy (doomsdayer), yet he's using the government system to get out of paying debts.

That's nice.

Did he ask your opinion? If so, you said the right thing. If not, I'd stay out of it.
