Financial Problems: The Most Likely Disaster to Strike Anyone
Preppers think about a lot of doomy, gloomy stuff about various types of apocalypses. After all, disaster is everywhere.
We watch the spread of pandemics, like the pneumonic plague and Ebola. We prepare for hurricanesand wildfires. We keep our eye on events that could turn into episodes of civil unrest, watch the weather for pending snow storms, and have kits to see us through power outages. Every prepper knows about the terrifying threat of an EMP and many of us are well versed in what to do in case of a nuclear strike.
But, there is ONE major disaster that is the most likely to befall any of us at some point in our lives and it isn’t zombies, North Koreans, or the plague.
It’s financial problems.
You may be currently having this issue right now. Maybe you don’t make enough money. Maybe the primary breadwinner has lost his or her job. Maybe someone has massive medical expenses. Maybe there is some other epic expense that you never saw coming.
It doesn’t matter how it happens – it just matters that you see it as something for which you need to prepare. Financially stability is one of the most important preparations you can make.
There are 3 keys to surviving financial problems.
