A True Doomsday Prepper
It's odd, but this category never seems to come up (nor is it listed on this forum).
But, it's likely one of the most important categories to consider....after all, it ALLOWS for the other types of preps to take place!
I've recently begun to focus more seriously on this, because a) I'm tired of living paycheck to paycheck...b) having multiple income streams is a great way to weather temporary financial setbacks....c) I never learned it when younger, so now see the importance of it.
Not just for SHTF, even for minor setbacks, etc. For me, prepping isn't just for a SHTF event, it's for ANY event than can disrupt our lives and survival. And this includes financial events. When I was out of work for a while, this was a tough, tough lesson. Especially when the unemployment checks ran out. (And I was no slouch, pounded that pavement for 8 hrs a day).
So, while I've dipped a couple toes into cryptocurrency, that's really a high risk, speculative thing. Instead, I've been trying to educate myself on stocks, how they work, how to make money at them, etc. A friend of mine, he's doing well at it, so having him help me along too.
The reason for this thread....DON'T LEAVE THIS TYPE OF PREP OUT! That's all, I mean, it's probably the most important one you can do for you and your family. This includes things like life insurance, etc. When I go, I don't want my kids to have to do a damn thing. We plan to have everything planned and paid for (even the service details etc.). (probably couldn't trust 'em with it anyhow...lol)
I'm not talking about hoarding gold and silver, etc., but real time wealth you can use before any kind of event. (and I have serious doubts about the value of precious metals in a post shtf environment)....
