The Economy Slowly Going Down Hill

I see it more and more as everyday passes. The type of work I do shows it more than you can imagine. See I buy and sell things. People bring it in and sell it as well as I go out and look for deals. Everyday I see the hard times that are upon us. People selling there valuables to get money for food and to pay the light bill or whatever they need at that time. It just keeps getting worse. The economy is not getting better at all. More and more people everyday are loosing there jobs, getting laid off, or what have you. If they only put something back like food or a little extra cash. Would it have helped out?

Of course it would have. See if you have food put back for a rainy day, like job loss or economy collapse. You would not have to worry about were the next meal is coming from. You would not have to sell everything that means something to you just to eat.

You think it does not happen here. Come spend the day in my shoes. Then take that home with you. It will change the way you look at things I guaranty it. It is hard to watch someone sell the only thing they have left to feed there kids or self. Very hard..

See that's were Prepping comes in handy. Just think about this. You owe a light bill, but you need food to live. Your hungry and your kids are hungry but if oyu do not pay the light bill you will be in the dark. Now add in the it is winter time so no heat.

If you had food put back you could eat what you have saved and pay that bill. But nothing put back could and will have an effect on your lifestyle. See it is simple to see why we need to prep, very simple. You have to have food and water to live. Not to be comfortable but to sustain life. So that being said. I am no expert but I am far from stupid. I have a food supply. I know what is happening around us. I want you to wake up and see it. I want you to think about why you should have food put back. Yeah it all sounds crazy, but is it? Is it a bad thing to be prepared? I don't think so.

I think is is better to have and not need than to need and not have. Wouldn't you say you agree. Think about this. You have a spare tire right? If you get a flat you change it with the one you have and get back on the road. Same thing. You go on a trip and take things with you right?

Every one should have extras. I know it is hard if you are barely getting by now but you have to try. We are going through some hard times right now. As I said at the start of this. I see it getting worse daily. Do you have children? Think about them. There is a lot to think about and this is just some things to help you think. Do what you can now and do not be with out if or when something does happen. Job loss can be enough to change your life, if it gets bad then well you know.

I am not a very good blog writer but I will keep trying and trying to get people to listen and wake up.

Below are some videos that might help you in some areas. There is also links to other people that give out great information. Be sure to check them out..

Preparing For What May Come

In this crazy world right now we all need a little insurance. Prepping is like buying insurance for car. You buy it just in case something happens to cover you. Well look at prepping like that to. You buy a few things and put it back for time you may need it. See everybody is different, some have more than others, some can buy whatever they want. Some can only buy and get a little at a time and that is okay. You have to start somewhere. Start with just putting some extras back. Grab some extras from the store, couple cans of can food, bag of rice, or a box of oatmeal. It will add up quicker than you realize. You never know what can happen. Nothing is set in stone. We are experiencing crazy weather all over the world. Our economy could crash. Food prices could get very high. Why not have a little put back?? Will it hurt to have it? I would rather have and not need then to need and not have. Can you tell your children or family that you did nothing to prepare? Ask yourself these questions. What would you do if you and your spouse lost your jobs tomorrow? It does happen. I know have seen it before over and over. I would not want my family to go hungry. Remember don't think you can't do it because you can. Grow a garden, plant something that you can eat. Learn to preserve it. Canning is very easy. Ask people to help you if you do not know what to do. You will find that most people that prep are kind people and wanting to help. Youtube is a great place to learn from. There is more information out there than you can imagine. I have a website that has a forum. www.eastcoastprepper.com. Go there check out the forum, there is tons of info for free there to help you. Check out the downloads on the site. They are free to download. This information will help you. Remember doing something to help insure you and you family survive is better than doing nothing at all. I will be posting blogs on here all the time and sharing free information to help you along the way..

Thanks
