You are most certainly not alone; I've seen skeptics say that it's doomsday-prep-crazy, but any statements like that are, in my opinion, denialism in this day in age. A regular savings account isn't a viable place to store absolutely all of your money, even since before the Trump admin started fucking things up. A diversified portfolio with safe investments after a certain point is the ideal way to handle it.

Only difference now, is that what a "safe investment" has mutated into is something else now; not to mention how little people can afford to save money. Do what you can to take care of yourself with what you have man.
