This is basically the opposite of prepping advice. If the world collapses, debts will all be wiped clean, you're going to feel like an idiot if you just paid of

This is basically the opposite of prepping advice. If the world collapses, debts will all be wiped clean, you're going to feel like an idiot if you just paid off your loans and now we're all back to bartering. It would be much preferable to have a new and expensive car to barter away than nothing but the printout of a bank statement before the bank was liquidated by aliens. I think this person just has a philosophy of debt and justifies it as "prepping" even though it's not prepping related at all.
