Most of us are so used to running out to the supermarket or to Wal-Mart for whatever we need that we never even stop to consider what would happen if suddenly we were not able to do that. Already the U.S. economy is starting to stumble about like a drunken frat boy. All it would take for the entire U.S. to resemble New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina would be for a major war, a terror attack, a deadly pandemic or a massive natural disaster to strike at just the right time and push the teetering U.S. economy over the edge. - Steve Quayle (Source)
Plus the current debt ($18 Trillion) is nearly as much as the country produces in a whole year. In the short run, the economy and voters benefit from deficit spending. In the long run, a growing Federal debt is like driving with the emergency brake on, further slowing the U.S. economy. At any point, debt holders could demand larger interest payments to compensate for what they perceive as an increasing risk they won't be repaid. When this happens, the United States will have to pay exorbitant amounts just for the interest.
So dont be totally surprised if one day you hear it on the news, and the next week youll lose your job or you cant sell anything or you go to the store just to find out that bread costs $40 and all your money will go into buying food, preventing you from paying you credits, bills or rent...

That reminds me, when her money gets scarce at the end of a pay period, my youngest daughter visits Mom’s store and pays me back the next payday.
It is not that hard to prepare for a disaster in terms of supplies and equipment. The hard part is the mental preparation. If the shtf are you ready for all the death. My dad is a diabetic, he won't make it. An ear infection can be deadly without proper meds, kids will die. After a while your pet dog will start to look tasty, and by golly he will just fit on the grill. Dagnabit, your mother in law is just dead weight, opps you forgot to feed her all last month. Don't forget all the complaining and nagging you will get 24/7. I'm not worried about my survival, but my wife is not cut out for long term survival, she was hard to put up with after the hurricanes. Your neighbor grabs a knife and a bottle of wine every time he sees you, and he wants you for dinner. Hey, what is that smell? Don't look at me I took a bath just last month. Your daughter cries all the time for candy crush. Yeah survival is easy.
My Mom had an answer to whiny kids or adults too for that matter. “People in H3ll want ice water too, but they ain’t it, gettin’ it and neither are you. So just sit down and make do.”

If they wait until the day the economy collapses, by the time they get to the bank there won’t even be pens left to steal.
The title should be ten things you should know before posting a blog story to FR.
1. Beware of the blog police. Post the entire damned story or be hounded to death.
#5 is pretty much crap.
In the event of an “economic collapse” the last thing the banks are going to do is foreclose on your home. They will put a lien against it.
The reason is that in the event of such a collapse the market will be flooded with real estate. The bank would not be able to sell it. So, they will come to you with a deal: Maintain the house, accrue interest, and they slap a lein on the property. In the last time around, my neighbors went two years before the bank foreclosed.
In such a collapse, everyone is in the same boat. They will work with you in order to avoid having to take a huge loss.
Kiss your mom for me. Is she a hot mama?
She was a pretty woman, and also quite a character. She passed away at the age of 79 in 2000. God rest her soul.

Sorry for your loss, GOD bless you.
Thank you. All of my nuclear family are gone now except for a half sister, but the kids, grand kids, and great grand kids are popping out all over. LOL That helps a lot. Marcella and I have decided to be adopted sisters and that helps every day in every way. ((Smiles)).
