Not even close<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I hate to break it to you, but chances are you’re just not prepared for what\u2019s coming. Not even close.<\/p>\n

Don’t take it personally. I’m simply playing the odds.<\/p>\n

After spending more than a decade warning people all over the world about the futility of pursuing infinite exponential economic growth on a finite planet, I can tell you this: very few are even aware of the nature of our predicament.<\/p>\n

An even smaller subset is either physically or financially ready for the sort of future barreling down on us. Even fewer are mentally prepared for it.<\/p>\n

And make no mistake: it’s the mental and emotional preparation that matters the most. If you can’t cope with adversity and uncertainty, you’re going to be toast in the coming years.<\/p>\n

Those of us intending to persevere need to start by looking unflinchingly at the data, and then allowing time to let it sink in.\u00a0 Change is coming \u2013 which isn’t a problem in and of itself. But it’s pace is likely to be. Rapid change is difficult for humans to process.<\/p>\n

Those frightened\u00a0by today’s over-inflated asset prices fear how quickly the current bubbles throughout our financial markets will deflate\/implode. Who knows when they’ll pop?\u00a0 What will the eventual trigger(s) be? All we know for sure is that every bubble in history inevitably found its pin.<\/p>\n

These bubbles \u2013 blown by central bankers serially addicted to creating them (and then riding to the rescue to fix them) \u2013 are the largest in all of history. That means they’re going to be the most destructive in history when they finally let go.<\/p>\n

Millions of households will lose trillions of dollars in net worth. Jobs will evaporate, causing the tens of millions of families living paycheck to paycheck serious harm.<\/p>\n
