What are you doing to prepare for the economic meltdown?

I reckon the bubble has got to burst within the decade. What with merger after merger of billion dollar companies, soaring debts and stupidly high trade deficits against the emerging China and India, it's got to twenty years tops before the £/ $ / € etc all become pretty useless.

So how are you guys preparing?

I’m learning to grow my own veg…

Answer:
I already have a small place set up in my home state of Texas. There is plenty of fishing, wildlife, trees, and great spots to plant a garden. I will survive it.
I'm building a bomb shelter.

And watching lots of that survivalist guy on discovery.

No bubble will be bursting in California real estate dude! Were adding 70 million people to the state in the next 22 years. What is a million dollar house today will be a 2-3 million dollar house in 2017, not to mention 2029. It will always be a Buy Buy Buy market in sunny CA!
There's no way that these currencies will fail. Besides, China and India are almost totally dependant on them, so they would not (by way of the invisible hand (read a book)) be able to surpass the 3 major currencies you mentioned.
I am not throwing money into a retirement fund.
I'm not sure that it will ever happen because there are safeguards in place to prevent the total collapse of the economy. I am trying to be more frugal with my resources and intend to be debt free within 5 years.
Well, I plan on moving to Canada nothing bad happens up there. Most of the rest of you should build fallout shelters and stock up on food...oh and watch a Blast from the past.
Growing vegetables? In soil or hydropaonically?
