I've been in this collapse game almost 20 years. When I started I was convinced the shit was going to go down. Now I realize I'm tired of the collapse game, but I'm damn happy with my life. So maybe the coming collapse was just an excuse to do shit I wanted to do all along (and it probably was, subconsciously or not), but shit I love living in the woods. I understand the people, I work with my hands and I love it. But do I believe, for all I've done, that my childhood buddies running hedge funds in NYC are worse off to weather the storm? HELL NO. They and their progeny will be around long after I'm gone, their ideas and attitudes will survive long after people like me are fully enslaved or rendered otherwise inoperable.
ATTITUDES ARE LIKE COCKROACHES. THEY ARE WHAT SURVIVE.
Whatever happens you're one of two things: You're a survivor or you're dead. I live around survivors but I don't mistake myself for one of them, as prepared as I might be. I do what I love every day and that's a form of survival in itself. I've got a great woman. But I'm lunch to the natives in my community if the balloon ever goes up, and God bless them for it.
Survival isn't about assets, it's about attitude. Which makes me think the whole collapse mentality may be a huge sales gimmick. Not that I give a flying one. All I can say is if you're happy you're going to be happy no matter what hits the fan, and attitude, without question, has been and always will be the coin of the realm. Attitudes are the real gold. Everything else is bullshit.
Edit: Besides neighbors. Good neighbors are far more important than good investments or even attitudes. So if you want to invest in the future, become a valuable neighbor.
