If the "doomsday" event is hyperinflation, then you would have done better to invest that $137,000 in physical gold, rather than some rural hermitage.

If the "doomsday" event is "The Great Tribulation," then you would have done better using the $137,000 doing the 1,050 commands of the New Testament: http://www.cai.org/bible-studies/1050-new-testament-commands

If the "doomsday" event is gamma ray bursts from within the Milky Way galaxy aimed straight at Earth, extraterrestrial invasion, or a massive meteorite impact, then kiss your a$$ and your $137,000 goodbye.
