    Cash won’t hold its value. Investments, on balance, will. Retirement right before the start of World War I would suck. It would suck more to have no broad based investments.

      The only reason cash mighty retain value would be because people would still think it does. Really, I have no idea how long that would last. Investments require trust and a working internet in the modern context.

        In that scenario there is nothing to buy.

        May want to save and invest in case things mostly continue.

        Also, get healthier.
