What do I really need to do to prepare. I’ve been reading your posts for the last few days and have taken some steps already. But I would kinda like for you to spell it out. I’ve got some cash on hand, I’m storing up food (my family will not go hungry), ordered seeds for my garden, and have purchased some gold. these are all good things to do anyway. My oldest son says cash will be worthless in a depression so I think I should take my cash and buy more supplies. But then I look around and everybody else is going about like nothing is wrong and I think I’m being paranoid.
First of all, don't take what I say as the gospel. I'm just "reading the tea leaves" like everyone else. I do think that it is extremely important for people to be prepared at all times, and especially now with what we may be facing.
I recommend a normal month's supply of cash-on-hand (add up all of your normal costs for a month - cash, credit, loan, etc.) If there were a bank run you would not have to be standing in line.
Store up food for at least a month for your family.
Make sure that you can protect your family if close to a population center.
etc., etc., etc.
And most importantly, sing praises to God our Father because His mercy endureth forever!
