The best ways to invest $60,000 before money is worthless

I'm investing 10K into an IRA account. My accountant has found a few for me with really high interests, so it'll be a good chunk of money when I retire someday

 

How would anyone use gold in a chaotic situation? If it came time when money is completely worthless and you tried to buy anything with it , wouldn't there be a high probability that it would be taken away by force. If gold is at an all time high,wouldn't that be the time to cash it in? I don't have any,but i don't really want any. Remember the movie-Goin' South?--GOLD!! THE SONUVABITCH HAS GOT GOLD!! I think land ,stored dried food,tools and secret shelter as was mentioned would be pretty rational.

 

i think if i had $60,000 - well, i don't know what i think, i don't even have $60 to my name at the moment

i suppose i'd buy a cheap house in north dakota, and give the other $50,000 to charity

[money baffles me]

 

If I were pretty sure the western way of life was going to collapse I'd buy guns and ammo.
