My daughter is down for a visit and I again tried to talk to her about having at least a small cache of essentials in their house so she can get by for a month or two. She says, "Dad, you always say that the economy is going to tank."
I've started to realize that there are going to be very few who are actually prepared; most are in denial and will remain that way until the (just heard Glenn Beck say, "another six months") coming desolation falls on them like a ton of bricks.
So she mistakes my warnings as me "wanting the collapse to hurry and get here". I explain that no I don't, and that we're going to want our standard of living back.
So how do you reach people who don't want to believe their world is about to be turned upside down and their standard of living is about to go down the toilet?
People are tired of hearing about it. I can tell that by yours being the only comment this post has recieved... :)
Well, we’ve got a lot of ammo, thirty days of food, and some water filters.
If it gets worse than that, we’re all doomed anyways.
Wanting to prepare and having assets to prepare are two different things. If I knew I was almost to that point, I would stop paying my bills and pay for food. But where does one draw the line when there is no extra cash for that 30 days’ worth of food?
