All it’s causing is yet another boom<br />

and bust cycle and the question nobody<br />

is asking themselves is just how many<br />

more of such cycles can the global<br />

economy absorb before it totally<br />

disintegrates? As an individual, the<br />

time has come for you to take your<br />

proverbial “destiny in your own hands”<br />

and begin to create hedges/safety nets<br />

to mitigate the fiscal incompetence of<br />

global governments. The steps you<br />

should take in order to mitigate the<br />

threat of banks freezing your cash as<br />

they did in Cyprus are as follows:<br />

Firstly you should always have<br />

enough cash in your house or in a<br />

safe place elsewhere to be able to<br />

take care of yourself and your<br />

family for at least 3 months, so that<br />

if the government in the nation<br />

where you’re currently domiciled<br />

decide to pull the same stunt on you<br />

as they did in Cyprus, then at least<br />

you and your family can survive.<br />

32<br />

Secondly, you should begin to look<br />

at secure ways to keep more of your<br />

cash outside of the banks, so that in<br />

the eventuality of banks freezing<br />

your account and demanding that<br />

all the citizens should use their<br />

savings to bail out their<br />

government, you will not be too<br />

adversely affected.<br />

Unfortunately, these are the measures<br />

that we all have to start taking to<br />

protect our <strong>money</strong> so that we don’t<br />

become the unfortunate victims of<br />

failed government economic policies.<br />

We cannot dictate the behaviour and<br />

conduct of those public officials who<br />

we elected to serve us but we can<br />

certainly do whatever is deemed<br />

necessary to protect ourselves and our<br />

children from their fiscal and economic<br />

mismanagement.
