Tough situation. My wife has been completely surprising me of late. She's helped gather up food from Costco, get cash out of the bank, agreed to a small pistol purchase, got firewood, planning on more raised garden beds, got the generator, so yes she's on board.

But don't mention aliens or she will turn off or look at me as insane. Too church raised to want to consider stuff "outside the box".

So make sure your spouse has seen the writing on the wall for the financial chaos. If you have kids, remind her that having extra emergency storage is a sane thing to do.

One of my best friends and everybody at work thinks I'm full of it even when considering a "banking holiday" or some upcoming financial collapse. No one outside my spouse gets what's coming. Spoon feed them if possible, otherwise do it for yourself and your spouse and if something happens you can say "told you so".
