Considering the article mentions large/"splurge" purchases and travel, I doubt that the majority of this is to be accounted for prepping for an economic collapse.

I think it can be. People already have all their toilet paper and paper towels. Only half kidding. If something is about to go down they may not be able to buy those splurge items for several years or longer and they certainly would not be able to travel. So getting that out of the way now makes a lot of sense to me. Risky but it makes sense. Risky in that one may be stuck wherever they traveled and may not have access to their money.
