I have no guns so I don't have any ammo
I don't have any gold or silver except the ones on the circuit boards in my warehouse
I don't have freeze dried ready to eat meals stored away somewhere
I don't have any stored reserve source of gas
I do have a yellow belt in karate which I earned at the very young age of 11( purely coincidental that it was around the time of the release of The Karate Kid)
I have a pretty big jar filled with coins( no pennies) so I can survive off of vending machine food for a very long time( Bread and water is overrated)
I have a 2 gallon container half filled with gasoline mixed with some special extra engine performance for my lawn mower so I will be able to keep my lawn looking good for a month or so depending on the time of year a catastrophe happens...
I have a videotape of the 1986 World series to help me get through those times that all seem lost
I have the new Dan Brown book which is just under 500 pages so I am covered on the entertainment aspect for a few days
So if some great collapse happens I am pretty secure in the fact that I am well prepared and will survive it.
The main point of all this is that for every report of doom and gloom there are equal reports of stabilization and hope. We all work our asses off most days and because of that the large majority of us can withstand and survive another downturn....
The key is to live amongst your means.. enjoy and treat yourself to things when you can ... Think positive and realize that as a collective we have very little knowledge or ability to really forecast the extreme aspects of economics on here and remember to spay and neuter your pets
