"It's not about being paranoid, it's about squaring things away so you do not have to be!"
Taking time to figure out a few things, pack a few things and think about a few things is about being prepared to handle as many issues which might come up in your life, as you are able to. The first step we should take is to get our finances in order. If you do not owe money then you can save money and saved money can solve most issues which come up. Car breaks down, get it fixed. Need bail money, you got some! The vast majority of issue we are going to face in life are financial related and not zombie related!!!
If you do not know who the photos is of........ For those of us coming from humble beginnings The Jeffersons should be role models! We all should strive to be "Moving On Up!"! Be it financially or otherwise, having your finances in order makes other things easier! Work to get a raise, work to get a better job, pay your bills, save your money and invest what you can! For a lot of us money is the driving force of our issues..... utilizing your financial tools properly takes away your stress and allows you to deal with other situations. Just as picking up a fire extinguisher allows you to not worry about minor house fires and instead focus on other issues.
If you take the time to learn about starting a fire with two pieces of ice but know nothing about the stock market? This is just another tool and you should at least learn the basics. Just as we learn the basics of fishing, first aid and a host of other topics. Never know you start investing early enough in life you could be set by the time comes to kick back on the porch and yell at kids trying to play on your grass. Besides it is always a good idea to step out of your comfort zone and learn something new!!!
Point of this post....... do not spend all day worrying about what might happen! Cover what issues you can. Be realistic in what you plan and spend! If you have to chose between paying the bills and buying a solar generator, pay your bills! Throw some extra clothes in a bag, this covers all sorts of situations. Figure out what thing you can do next to cover as many issues as you can..... buy some water at the dollar store. If you find yourself in a position where your bills are paid, you have money set aside, you have money invested for old age and you have covered the basics of preparedness.................
Then you can think about other things!!!! Remember live life!!!
As Always,
Stay Safe!!!
