If we can't retrieve the funds from our IRA if economic disaster strikes, we 
are one paycheck away from a personal disaster. bills would have to go unpaid 
and unless someone wants to buy all the things I could possibly sell, even 
the house note would have to go unpaid. If we can retrieve the money, then we 
could hold down the fort for about 6 months with no additional income and no 
additional expenditures if it appears that there will be no way to make an 
income. trading is great for procuring things you need, but it sure doesn't 
pay bills (electricity, propane, bank loan, etc.) I could do without all the 
amenities but I'd still have to pay the land taxes and bank loan. And ours is 
a very small loan by most people's standards.
