Great video! I never NOT have cash on me. I keep a 20 in my phone case, a few hundred hidden in each of our cars, and some hidden around the house that me and my spouse know about. I’d love to hear more in future videos about preps for the workplace. I am a high school teacher so we often worry about earthquakes, shooters, etc
Amount of times a BOB used - 0 , amount of times cash has been useful in an emergency - multiple All preps are good, some preps are gooder😊 Excellent video, thanks
#1 prepper rule for me is to live below your means! I say to track every penny spent for a month or so. Then categorize each expense into required, needed, or wanted. Know where your money goes. Then pull 5% of your income & put it away, do this first before spending any of it. When you are able to do the 5%, up it to 10%. Constantly be working on reducing the want category and increase savings. Life is so much easier when you have nest egg continually growing.
Absolutely. My husband and I have both been pretty diligent about saving over the years. We are lucky that now we get to work at jobs we want to do and not stress about the day to day expenses. We also try and live WAY below our means in terms of our mortgage and vehicles. It REALLY reduces our stress.
I lived below my means for over 40 years so that when I retired I could live within my means. No debt and mortgage and plenty in savings reduced my stress and now lets me enjoy my remaining years. Preparing for shtf events is the same. Prepare below or within your means so that when it happens you’re less stressed.
Thanks 👍
Glad it helped!

Love, love, love that you plan ahead! And I will absolutely do a video on my workplace setup soon. Thanks for the great recommendation!

Haha! Okay, well I have used my BOB once (well the water BOB, not the bug out bag), but I couldn’t agree more on cash being EVEN MORE useful.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Love this. And I think it is a great reminder that not having debt is a HUGE stress reliever.
Thanks for sharing your story!
