I’m glad I grew up poor. I learned to recognize need vs want at an early age.

Tough times are nothing new to me and I’ll fare far better than most in the face of economic disaster.

I didn't grow up ‘dirt poor’ but we learned very young that if we wanted something we would have to work for it. I started working at 14 selling programs on commission at the State Fair. I bought my own new clothes for school that autumn. In grade school I had 3 dresses. I didn't know you were supposed to have 5 so you didn’t repeat in the same week. Didn't much care either. Ah, the 50’s. A good era.

Good evening.

I’ll fare far better than most in the face of economic disaster.

Imho, the American people have to ask the question: will I survive an economic disaster? Or will I survive a civil war? Or will I survive a hurricane. Or will I survive ___________?

Questions that should be answered by each of us. Now.
