Whatever your wife bought be proud of her and encourage her. There's a lot of guys who have a wife who doesn't think that far ahead.
Along the lines of what to do for refugees showing up to your place, I think we've all given it quite a bit of thought and where I ended up with it was I'll try and take everyone I can and try to save as many people from starvation and miserable deaths as I can for as long as I can. I think people often forget that this life we live today will end at some point and we're going to answer for every decision and shot fired to a higher power at the end of our earthly existence. I don't want to look the big guy in the eyes and say I wouldn't help anyone else after all he's done for me. Having said that, any refugee showing up would be put to work immediately. I have a stack of books for a variety of skills like medical, comms, gardening, small unit tactics, homesteading and whatever else that would be assigned out and tested. I've heard friends and family make the same jokes about showing up at our place and I've told many of them that if things get that bad we probably won't be there and if we are they won't like the rules they'd have to live under for refuge. I would suggest everyone take the time now to make a list of rules for refugees showing up so that if that day ever did come you could hand them a well thought out printed paper with a date on it that's several years old and let them know the terms they need to agree to or leave.
