My brother lost his job a month ago, after working for the same company for 33 years.<br /><br />The first thing I suggested, was he till his back yard and start a garden. He has not done so yet. Perhaps he thinks he'll find another job real soon.<br /><br />About a year ago I converted 90% of my cash into gold and silver. Silver is now selling for more than I paid for it and my break even point on gold is about $110.00 away.<br /><br />My brother still has his 401K. I can't get him to consider that some day soon, his cash may become completely worthless. 30 years worth of saving and POOF! Worthless in one day.<br /><br />I have food and water stored, my brother has none, but what is in his kitchen.<br /><br />I have a small solar system and a 500 watt wind turbine. My brother at least has a camp stove and lanterns.<br /><br />I have seen the warning signs slowly develop since my job loss. People with jobs can't see the signs, but they do stay faithful to "Dancing with the Stars" and other crap on TV. I don't even watch TV.<br /><br />I'm collecting Mason jars and have taught myself all about home canning. I'll make big batches of soups and stews and divide them into quart and pint size jars. <br /><br />Collapse is going to happen. It's too late to stop it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657416898250755059.post-29470621314257993612010-10-01T10:27:50.047-07:002010-10-01T10:27:50.047-07:00Good post and all true.Good post and all true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
