We aim to take a practical approach to living a self-reliant, preparedness lifestyle that will increase our quality life day in and day out, regardless of all the stuff that life has a tendency to throw at us.
That being said, there is a situation that has been brewing for a long time now that is probably the closest thing to a true SHTF type of scenario we’re likely to face. This situation is the complete and utter collapse of the American economy. Ever since the country switched away from the gold standard and the Federal Reserve, along with its corrupt fiat (debt-based) money system has essentially taken the reigns of the American economy, we have been on a long, downward spiral that has led to America being mathematically incapable of financially supporting itself or the millions of programs it’s citizens have blindly demanded over the last 100 years.
There have been a lot of theories, fear mongering and misinformation that has been spread around the preparedness community about what the economic collapse really is and what it means for the common American. Today we’re going to take a more practical look at the downfall of the American economy and how it is likely to affect your day-to-day life as a prepper. We’ll also talk about some ways that we can mitigate the damage that the collapse can inflict on your own personal lifestyle as it spreads like wildfire across the country.
You are living in the collapse right now
The economic collapse has been talked to death by economists that use a lot bigger words than I do, however the reality of the situation is pretty simple. As a country (and as a people) we spend A LOT more than we make. When you cut out all the political grandstanding, misinformation and
advanced economic theories from people with more degrees than common sense, it just boils down to the fact that as a country, we don’t make enough money to pay for all the stuff that society has demanded, on top of the complete and utter mismanagement of our tax revenue and debt by all forms of government.
Although a lot of blame can be laid at the feet of Washington for involving us in wars and conflicts that have nothing to do with our country or its security whatsoever, economic policies that are simply smoke screens for paying off political favors to special interest groups and outright political incompetence, the federal government is just a small piece of the collapse. The real blame has to spread much farther than that. Fingers can be pointed at state governments, local governments, and yes, as much as we all love to blame the politicians, a huge chunk of the blame has to be laid at the feet of the American public for evolving into the reactive, irresponsible and spend-happy nation that it is today.
