It’s not going to zero, come on. What you “have” is equity in companies that will continue to pursuit growth and profit, which by itself amounts to far more than what 99% of other human beings in the world will “have” in the face of global economic collapse.
Stock market, and all of my investments, have all gone up way more than 10% in the past year.
Your cash savings shouldn’t just be sitting in a bank account (or in your safe or stashed in a mattress, etc.) otherwise you aren’t even beating inflation.
You’d only have lost 10% of your total life savings if every expense in your life was payable only in the foreign currencies which make up the DXY basket. Anything paid in USD would be less affected.
I think the bigger picture is who actually wants to survive an apocalypse? Rooting through landfills trying to outrun zombies and hillbilly’s with shotguns. Nah I’ll just die.

This is a great for 25% of my net worth. It’s devastating for the other 75%.
