According to the following article in the link :
The main takeaway is this: your skills, knowledge and social capital will emerge unscathed on the other side of the re-set wormhole. Land and real property you own free and clear (no debt) is likely to remain in your possession, as long as you can pay soaring taxes/junk fees during the crisis phase. Your financial assets held in centrally controlled institutions will not make it through unscathed; they are simply too easy for central authorities to expropriate.

In my book, The Coming Economic Flood, or in talks, I have suggested similar preparation :
1. Debt free property ownership.
2. Learn certain skills that are required at all times.
3. Help one another during good times to build self sustaining industries so that those with the eventual capable means can help those without during the hard times.
