Just attempting to answer your question as to why I personally exited the banking system as much as possible.
There are several more articles pertaining to the possibility of an economic collapse. Just do your own search and perhaps find an opinion you deem worthy. BTW, stating that Ann Barnhardt has "no background in the financial or economic sectors," is completely false. Many disagree with her Catholicism posts, but often appreciate her knowledge of finance.
Here are a couple of financial sites I find worth following:

Good luck.
