I’m sincerely interested to know your logic and facts.

Metmom : "Buy what you need now.
Take an inventory and see what you need that looks to need replacement in the next few years.
How are you clothes? Linens? Furniture? Tools? Appliances? Gardening and canning supplies? Self defense supplies?
Learn to can. Learn to sew and mend. Learn to fix electrical and plumbing problems "
Develop a self-enhancing, moral building skill, or at least some training books; plan ahead with essential skills or knowledge.
Have actually been doing a lot of this prior to 2008 meltdown. Stepped it up then, and since WuHuFlu, have tried to do extra each month in addition to replacing the things used.
We are more than fine, for most things I think. There’s always something to look back at though isn’t there? Hubby has almost finished the shed/root cellar combo. We hurried and ordered all the stuff 2 years ago—lumber etc. has more than tripled since then.
He plans to make a bunch of cold frames all along the back side (southerly) to grow hardy veggies.
Agree.
Might be smart to purchase the ability to make shoes...Not just moccasins, but sturdy shoes. Think of stuff that you will need ten or twenty years out. Plenty of hand tools. I don’t see this getting better. Ever.
We moved to Spain 5 years ago and we are still not finished with some of the supplies we bought while we were still in America :-)
ROFL
That’s encouraging.
There were cases when the bread was bartered for the wheelbarrow and the money was thrown out.
I’d be interested in hearing about your investment strategy.
You buy wheat kernels and a hand cranked grain mill and learn to make sourdough starter now and you can keep the starter going for years. Wheat kernels last forever. Make an outdoor(or indoor) wood fired bread/pizza oven too.
The mom’s side of my family made it through the depression just fine because they were shoemakers and people still needed shoes. They also lived in MA which faired better than the Midwest.
Invest in things that multiply. Personally, I’m fond of seeds. A handful of squash seeds last year produced enough squash that we’re still eating them, along with producing more seeds to share, sell, and plant.
