How to Survive a Total Collapse of the American Economy

What if the American economy would collapse tomorrow? Are you and your family prepared for the American dollar to have no value? Economical times are rough and rocky right now. We should not fear an economic collapse, but simply be prepared. Thank God, times are looking like they are starting to turn around, but here are some tips to be prepared.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. FOOD: Start storing as much extra food and water as possible within your home for immediate relief. Store foods that will keep well, like beans or canned foods. You should have enough food stored to last for a couple of months in the event of a tragedy or economic melt down.

2. EDUCATE YOURSELF AND FAMILY: Keep up with what is going on with the economy. Even if you are not an avid stock holder, keep tabs on the stock market and understand what it is doing. Remember that you cannot believe everything that everyone tells you. Knowledge and wisdom are power, so educate yourself for you and your family's safety.

3. NECESSITIES: Learn to barter for things. There may be things you would need like water, warm blankets, and so on if the economy would collapse. You need to know how to barter to gain those items for your family. Get to know your neighbors so that you can become a strong neighborhood.

4. FIRST AID: Prepare a first aid kit to be kept in your home in case of an injury or emergency. First aid kits should always be kept on hand in vehicles and at homes.
