I have an emergency fund, 3 months’ worth of “stuff,” and grow microgreens on windowsills. While I do keep adding to my savings, I don’t intend to store more “stuff” as I live in a 700 square foot apartment in a city. I prep for bad weather and unemployment. The “stuff” is mostly for “lockdown” due to civil unrest, pandemic, and (heaven forbid) radiation due to a dirty bomb or a suitcase nuke — situations where I can’t leave my home to go buy supplies. These are the prepping goals I have picked.
If the United States collapses like Venezuela, then I guess I die! I’m not going to move to the country, buy land and animals, and learn how to be a rancher and farmer, just in case the apocalypse comes. Picture Eva Gabor in an episode of “Green Acres” … that would be me.
I do engage in serious research about getting a long-term residency visa in a foreign country. I don’t think the apocalypse is going to be evenly distributed throughout the country or the world.
