Odds are you are not going to buy a new car, truck, SUV or van this year. Most people are getting their vehicles repaired instead of just replacing them with easy credit like they have for years now. The credit has dried up and we don’t have that option as a country any more.
The good news is that vehicles are lasting on average up to 8 years these days. With tender loving care, regular...
It is all to easy to get caught in a debate over the causes of the current global depression instead of doing something to fix the economy or even protect yourself and your family so that you can survive the recession, and the perils to surface next.
Years ago I served in the Army. One of the first lessons that I learned in the Army is that there are people that talk about how to do...

Americans are not stupid and they are starting to get the fact that we are in a very very serious situation. As a country we have seen the savings rate go from negative to positive but it is still in the single digits, hovering at around 3.7%.
Now a big reason why the rate is at 3.7 and not 50.7 is due to the fact that Americans are...
Now is the time to start stocking up on food. You should focus on purchasing canned goods first. There is no need to go out and buy everything all at once, but you should deliberately by additional canned good items.
As you purchase canned goods, focus on things that will complete an entire meal. Purchase canned meats, and canned vegetables both.
Your goal should be to purchase at least six months worth of food and canned...
We’re rapidly moving past the point where studying the finance scenario matters much. Even the Federal Reserve took 2 years (from 2006 till late in 2008) to recognize that the Housing bubble would impact the economy. With 2+ years of notice ignored, you can bet that the notice for essentials like food and power will be worse.
It’s time to consider how to secure food in an economy turning upside down rapidly.
The Ultimate Food Shortage Survival Guide offers a real solution to anyone who wants to stockpile...
Resistant versions of Influenza are now the norm and not the exception. Drugs created to combat the flue, seem to have actually made the ‘flu’ (influenza Viruses) stronger. This year almost all strains of the Flu are resistant to the treatments available. All those stockpiles of drugs created to fight a possible pandemic like the one seen just over 09 years ago that killed about one third of the people in the Western world are probably junk.
Consider a future where you are out of work, your neighbors are out of work, and most of your town or city is out of work. How do you survive? How do you support your family? How do you eat or stay warm in the winter?
We do not live in an age of self sufficiency. We do not make or create all of the things we need to survive. We are specialists.
As a global depression sweeps the land, it will not...
Hurricane Katrina made believers out of many people in the United States and around the world. If there’s a big enough problem, the United States government can not solve it.
The unfolding global depression is rapidly turning into a problem that the United States government can not solve.
Congress is barreling towards gridlock over a stimulus package that even if passed seems to be utterly devoid of any real stimulus. There are many notable and worthy social programs in the package but rarely any economic stimulus segments that will put people to work or back to work in the United States and...
Even today, while we are in the midst of the worst real estate crisis to hit the world in close to one hundred years, people still feel relatively secure about their shelter or home or town home or condo. In preparing for the global depression, we need to look at things a bit more realistically.
Ask yourself these questions and consider your true relative security in your choice of shelter or your shelter options:
