So what if you can’t afford to?
What happened to Himself last summer has put us so far in the hole, we had to borrow money from my unhappy mom just to keep from losing our house.
We barely have money for meager monthly supplies, let alone ‘stockpiling’.
It’s only thanks to me stalking the pet stores looking for deeply reduced dog food on clearance that the dogs will be fine for many months.
If you understand that this is an issue and can’t do something to mitigate it-then I do feel sorry for you. I honestly do. Who I don’t feel sorry for are the myriads of folks on here who have said for a month that it’s nothing and nothing will happen. This people don’t understand the mentality of the herd. Fear is irrational. I see it in the financial markets every day-whether is panic selling or his twin brother - MOMO (fear of missing out).
Saying that, being prepared is not a knee jerk move. It takes diligence and forethought.
Planning, scraping to get the needed prep and following through with a plan. If I tried to just go out and "prep" right now, it would break me
My wife and I have been prepping since Bush II took office, then 911 happened.
Then, OBAMA!!!!!! And now here we are.
