I've been keeping up with the economic crisis lately and there are a lot of strange things happening. It is very possible that we could see another depression. We just owe too much money to pay back, we export nothing, we import everything, and our money is losing value quickly. Americans, saturated by the media's version of what's happening, are seemingly oblivious to our crisis.
1. Have you thought about what you will do if the market crashes, banks close, and businesses close? I'm talking about bread and soup lines people.
2. If so, what type of subsistence living have you thought of adapting since there will not be the surpluses of today?
3. Are you ready or will you wait to prepare until it happens?
I am not trying to scare anyone. You can research this for yourself. Some keywords are Bretton Woods, G8 Summit, and 700 Billion dollar bailout.

Nope. I am not ready. I would rather be an ostrich.
It scares me to death what kind of world my kids are having to become young adults in.
Have I taught them how to manage their money well enough to survive this crunch.
Shudder.

i think about it a lot but what really scares me is my kids that smoke and are hooked on mountain dew i wouldn't want to be depended on anything when it or if that happens i have tried to stock up on extra can goods,and things like dry beans so i can help my kids and there family's. i heard that a good why to put some money back is in silver, and or silver dollars dated before 1960?? i'm not sure on the right date there.the real scary thing is the videos of the tent city's that are showing up around the us in the larger city's from people losing there houses, and the shame is that fox,abc, nbc, and cbs, do report on this.

We are in a calm before a major storm. We are in that intermediate state like what was happening between 1929 and 1932.

This is not conspiracy talk. You can check it out for yourself at reputable news sites. It's just not talked about much in the mainstream media.

I already survived the great depression but I called it my Marriage.
thank God Oklahoma is proofed against it besides I think America needs it as a wake up call.

Ouch, that does ring true Spectrre.
I know what you mean with marriage, and I doubt anything else could get that depressing for me too.
