Yes. But we are to be wise and prepare. Gold is the only ' currency" that has withstood every financial disaster on earth. I recommend people buy it and store it against what may occur when the global system fall's. Gold and silver will still be the victor. Pre 50's (?) silver dimes are 99% silver. And any gold in jewelry or wholesale " unprocessed" is a good way to accumulate Gold. Hey if the global system does fall at least one has something to barter or buy with. Because if this happens, Gold and silver will be the only currency available to get by on.
AS to
2Co 12:14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
I do not see this scripture applying to the subject .
that scripture expresses what it says - parents should strive to 'build up' a savings for their children, not the other way around.
