My wife and I have actually been toying with getting a loan, and buying up the rest of what we need for our storage. if nothing happens, great, we pay it off. If it does, well, I'll have plenty of food. and stuff.

I won't comment on the other stuff, but I certainly wouldn't call you a
"wannabe". You've accomplished a lot there over the years. I remeber when you
were debating sending son to regular high school, now he's on a real big boat,
not in jail. If you just have a big garden and shoot a freezer full of deer,
you have veggies and meat.

Maybe , like me, you feel like you could have done more, already. But, don't
diregard what you actually have done ...bobford

I live very close to the edge.
One of the reasons we moved here was so that we would hurt
less if something like this happened. We would be able to be
more self sufficient and less dependent on commerce.
I've always been more of a wannabe, but it ki
nd of
looks like my practice will soon be put to the test. If Beck
is right, and we are looking into the pit of the Great
Depression then I may not be a list member much longer.  I
consider internet connectivity a luxury.  I also consider
my television a luxury.  Those two things will be the first
to go.  Then, it will be the phone.  Finally, power.  In
a worst case scenario, it will take everything we can do to
make the mortgage should DH lose his job.  If there is no
credit, then folks won't be buying too many cars, or
fixing them at the dealership.  I'm not sure what we
would do....obviously, he'd do some shadetree work,
woodworking, etc., but is that enough to save the farm if
there is no regular income? I could rent the pasture
out..clean houses or whatever...
What about you all?
