12 Simple Things You Can Start Doing Right Now To Prepare For The Coming Financial Apocalypse

(Before It's News)

It is becoming increasingly apparent that the U.S. economy is heading for complete and total disaster.  State and local governments across the nation are uncontrollably bleeding red ink.  The federal government has accumulated the largest debt in world history.  Every year we buy hundreds of billions of dollars more from the rest of the world than they buy from us.  That means that we are getting hundreds of billions of dollars poorer as a nation every single year.  Meanwhile, thousands of factories and millions of jobs continue to be sent overseas as American cities turn into post-industrial wastelands.  Incomes are down, unemployment remains at depressingly high levels and very few of our politicians seem to have any idea how to fix things.  Yes, things are really, really bad.  So what are some things that we can all be doing to prepare for the coming financial apocalypse?

Well, the truth is that we all need to start becoming less dependent on “the system”.  If the economy does completely fall apart at some point, your employer is probably not going to take care of you.  Neither is the federal government – just look at what happened in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.  In the end, you are going to have to take care of yourself and your family.

So are you ready?

Now is the time to prepare.  If you wait until things totally fall apart it will be far too late.

The following are 12 simple things that you can start doing right now to prepare for the coming financial apocalypse….Us2

#1 Become Less Dependent On Your Job

Many people define a job as the state of being “just over broke”.  The truth is that it is incredibly difficult to become financially independent working for someone else.  Now, the truth is that most Americans would not be able to survive without a job, but what would you do if someday you suddenly lost your job during a financial apocalypse?  Now is the time to start investigating alternate sources of income and different ways to build wealth.  Today it takes the average unemployed American over 33 weeks to find a job.  You may not always be able to count on being able to get a good job, and the economy is only going to get worse over the long-term.  All of us should be operating under the assumption that any jobs we now have will someday be taken away.

#2 Get Out Of Debt

Some people disagree with this, but unless society degenerates into complete chaos or we experience Weimar Republic-type hyperinflation, the truth is that your debts are going to continue to hang over you wherever you go.  Getting out of debt can be completely and totally liberating.  It will give you much more freedom and will make you far less dependent on your job.  In fact, it looks like a lot of Americans are already moving in this direction.  It was recently announced that 8 million Americans have stopped using their credit cards over the past year.  Why not join them?  When things start really falling apart and it is incredibly difficult for anyone to get a job, the last thing you want is a huge amount of debt hanging over your head.

  • Haven’t had a credit card or debt for 4 years now. Feels so good to not be a slave to plastic. I use credit unions for checking and debit card. Even financed my house with the previous owners with 20% down. With that amount,they know you’re not gonna walk. I use cash for most things.
    Overall I find I spend less without plastic and I don’t miss it. The only way we can take back this country is to starve the banisters.
    I buy silver coins for my savings. The cost right now is about the same as a pizza.
    Life is good and I feel like I’m in control. After being laid off 4 years ago I started a few jobs I do on my own. I don’t make as much as I did,I don’t spend nearly as much and don’t miss it.
    Recently went to a mall and couldn’t believe what this Chinese made garbage costs!
