How To Get Prepared For The Coming Economic Collapse.

Please make no mistake, when gold, silver, and bitcoin are skyrocketing in value, it is not related to their value. It is a direct indicator of the declining value of the U.S. Dollar and an economic collapse.

You want to be ready. That starts with precise, small steps you can take today.

Immediate priorities

• Keep cash on hand. Start with enough for 2 weeks of expenses.
• Move some savings into an accessible account you control.
• Maintain one month of nonperishable food and water per person.
• Check prescriptions and medical supplies. Refill early.
• Make a simple plan to contact family if phones fail.

Financial actions

• Reduce high-interest debt first. Pay down credit cards.
• Build a liquid emergency fund. Aim for 3 months of basic bills.
• Diversify where you hold money. Use a bank, a credit union, and a small cash reserve.
• Keep copies of essential documents offline and in a secure place.
• Consider essential physical assets that can be easily traded locally—examples: batteries, fuel, basic tools.

Household readiness

• Store 2 weeks of water per person. Use sealed containers or bottled water.
• Keep a two-week food supply of shelf-stable items you actually eat. Rotate stock every 6–12 months.
• Maintain basic tools. Include a multi-tool, flashlight, spare phone charger, and a manual can opener.
• Install simple home security measures: good locks and exterior lighting help.
• Know your shutoffs for gas, water, and electricity.

Health and skills

• Learn basic first aid and CPR. Take a class this month.
• Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit and any necessary prescription meds.
• Learn simple mechanical skills for your vehicle. Change a tire. Jump a battery.
• Practice low-tech cooking. Use a camping stove safely.

Transport and mobility

• Keep your vehicle maintained and your gas tank at least half full.
• Have a get-home route planned for walking if roads close.
• Keep spare shoes and a lightweight pack in your car.

Community and information

• Know three neighbors you can rely on. Build reciprocal help now.
• Join a local group or online neighborhood channel for trusted updates.
• Identify one reliable news source and one local authority source for alerts.

Security and legal

• Follow the laws where you live. If you choose self-defense measures, train and store items legally.
• Keep your personal data secure. Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication.

Low-cost readiness items you can get this week

• Water jugs and a water filter.
• 10–14 days of canned food and a manual can opener.
• One basic first aid kit.
• Small amount of emergency cash.

Questions to sharpen your plan

• How many days can you cover at home without income?
• Who in your neighborhood has functional skills you lack?
• What will you trade if banks fail?

You do not need to do everything at once. Start with cash, water, food, and one valuable skill. Build from there.

Stay Vigilant and Be Prepared

You play a critical role in your preparedness. By preparing yourself for the unexpected, you will become more self-reliant and a valuable asset to your community.
