Emma, I wish your friend the best of luck.
SM, it's unfortunate but true that right now, the US has many of the conditions that existed just prior to the Great Depression, esp. regarding financiers, stock market, regulation or lack thereof, and borrowing on margin.
I'm scared.
If worse comes to absolute worst, I'm one of 4 owners of a 120 acre farm with water, woodlot, 30 arable acres, a leftover concrete slab that could become a house foundation, two small barns, and a working tractor. There's igneous rock available to build a fireplace & chimney; limestone for foundation construction. Heck, limestone for building the whole house; there's plenty of it.
(Hard part is eating, staying healthy & surviving until the first food crops come in.)
