I misjudged you last year and I apologize. I've been waking up over the past few years and realized just how insane this world is. I am a mom of two young kids and am absolutely terrified. I am trying to prepare the best I can for my family but I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place and that makes me panic. Thank you for your words as I allow them to sink in.
Congrats on finally waking up and starting to prepare. 👍Its a process, so just keep doing a little at a time. You are on the right path.
Don't panic. Panic freezes you. Keep moving forward.
Your being "absolutely terrified" cannot be
a positive for your children. I suggest you
visit a couple of specialists (child and adult) for guidance ---NOT FOR MEDICATIONS, the country is half brain
dead due to zombie drugs.
Children are SMART and recognize the
verbal and physical tension of a parent.
one son, his wife and 2 year old moved back home (here) Friday. One thing after another snow balled and there was no choice. The other son, his wife and baby (4 weeks) were involved in a hit n run Sunday afternoon. My son's truck is totaled. The only dependable vehicle they had, and he works 45 min from his home. Yes, he had insurance but that only pays off his loan does not provide another car. So now we are in the wait to see how this will work out. Anyone willing to pray for my boys I would appreciate it! Nicholas & Alexander.
Praying now for your family. ♥️♥️♥️
Just prayed!
🙏🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Sending love from uk ❤
My husband is on hospice in our living room and I have the Christmas tree lit up next to him. No gifts, just lights and love. I'm terrified of facing 2024 alone.
Hugs to you! Prayers for comfort and strength! 🙏🏻
Praying for you and your husband…giving thanks to our Lord for giving you strength and keeping you in the palm of his hands.
Prayers being sent for you and your husband.
🙏🙏🙏
May He give you all the grace & strength you need.
Hi everyone! I just thought you should know that we recently ate a can of Spam that expired in 2011. It’s been over 3 weeks and we are all doing fine! Just a reminder that expiration dates are not always anywhere close to accurate. (Trust your nose, eyes and experience).
Good to know, thanks!
Yes! My pantry is full of expired food. I would be insane to pitch it. People do though. I guess they think the food can read the label to know when to die. I use stuff from 2010 that I canned. The FDA website even says that foods commercially canned with no dents or compromised seals last INDEFINITELY! That the FDA
Thank you for sharing !
Amen
Indeed! I was wondering about my spam stock. Thank you!
My mom was born in the 30s. Our whole lives she has washed out baggies and tinfoil, reused cloth, unplugged every appliance not use, etc She’s been living a frugal life. My sister and I made fun of her when she’d cut mold off of the cheese and give us the good part, etc. We and our kids are all about to understand why our parents did that crazy stuff.
Reading that was like I was remembering my grandparents. Nothing got thrown away, and I always played in the scrap pile learning how things worked.
Three years ago I lost everything and downsized my belongings into my car and moved 900 miles away to where I knew no one, for a full-time job with great benefits. Three years later and I still have that job and now I have my own two bedroom apartment. Its been a challenging road, but I'm very proud of what I've been able to accomplish. Was I scared? Sometimes, but overall I looked at it as an exciting new adventure...
I bought a cat tower for our 2 house cats for Christmas. Also, my Jersey cow, Star, had a bull calf at 3:40am. I named him “Hosanna” which means “save us”. I originally chose it because Star saved me when my other cows trampled me July 15. However, it is probably even more fitting for our world now more than ever 😢🙏🧡 Lorie 😊
I never knew " Hosanna " meant save me... tyfs this info. Happy you weren't trampled.
@@deannamauretic I thought so too and sang it in many songs who said" we sing hosanna " talking about praise. I speak also Arabic and little Aramaic and will have to go see now. Thanks
My parents were born in 1924. They taught me much. My maternal grandma was born in 1904 and died in 2005. She lived through so much and could do anything. I’m grateful for their knowledge.
Same here. My parents were jewels
Yepper, same time frame here, I loved my Grandmas dearly and they worked like pack mules.
Almost the exact same here as far as birthdates of our ancestors. And yes I learned a lot from them. I hear them talking to me as I do things. Funny thing is my daughter said the same about her grandmother. When she cooks she is there with her. I’m so grateful for the time we had.
My grandparents were born in 1902/1904. They got married at the beginning of the depression.
My Gram saved everything. She reused her tea bags, you didn't tear wrapping paper- you popped the tape and used it for something else. My mother had told me a ton of stories about how she was raised, it's amazing and I've learned so much.
The only thing in my Grams safe deposit box after she passed was a rubber band 🤗. She saved every rubber band that came off a newspaper.
We laughed and laughed over that bc that was so her. I still miss her. I wish I could pick her brain on this day and age and my Pop too.
The knowledge that I let get away from me makes me annoyed at my previous self. Lesson learned.
My Mon have a twist tie drawer😂1000's
Love this ❤
@@WandaOlinger I save them also and the rubber bands off the produce. You never know when you might need them.
That rubber band was a sign.....every one and everything can be stretched thin but if you let go, it will bounce back.
Thanks. I was raised by a daddy who went thru depression and was a sharecroppers son, and momma was Tennessee hillbilly raised dirt poor. I'm very thankful bc I can make do with very little and be happy. Finding joy in sunsets or birds or owl calls at night. Many young people are spoiled rotten and will have a hard time with less. God bless you, Patara. Thanks for remaining positive while being prepared.
My Mom was born in 25. She was a pack rat 😮 If you needed it. She had it. I took after my Mom😊 I just have a hard time finding it🤷🤦♀️🤣
@@WandaOlinger The difference between a hoarder and a prepper is organization! Like items together, use labels and rotate. 😉
After working for 46 years we retired. We were exhausted and were ready to wind down a bit and focus on family and our elderly years but now, we are back in the work force again. I cannot tell you how hard this has been for our physical, financial and mental health. We had 2 years of rest and some enjoyment of our time together but Inflation has all but eliminated our financial cushion, it's a sadness I can't describe. I refuse to go into debt to get by so working again was our only option. Even now I am stunned at the condition of the country I love. I'm depending on a change in the next election to provide some semblance of normal again and I turn to God every day in hope for a better future, we need it so much.
My sister just lost her job after 40 plus yrs. Private family business just decided to close. Financially in a hole. She’s going to find another job at 67 it’s not going to be easy. Pray for her. We’re not exchanging gift this year only doing dinner and being together.
Same here. We have been doing this for a few years.
Can't your sister start her Social Security? Get Social Security, and still be able to get a job if she needs to.
@@milliealford8968 We only buy for 3 kids in my family but have a limit. My husbands family we buy a gift for man or woman and kids do same limit $20 ea and we draw numbers and each person can pick a gift and if the next person likes your gift they can get it and you pick another it’s fun. There are about 75 family members counting kids grand kid and great grandkids and growing. But last three years they haven’t gotten together.
So sad to hear of her job loss...prayers said 💗💗💗 It is very rough all over the U.S... keep prepping and hang in there !! And pray,pray,pray !!
🙏🙏🙏
My mom was born in 1921. Died in 2019 at age 98 and 3 months. Her baby sister is now 91. We were talking about how they grew up not knowing they were poor because everyone was. Aunt was talking about suppers being a huge bowl of cornbread and milk with 8 spoons and the whole family eating from the bowl. A funny...Momma said they'd trade country ham and biscuits for crackers and peanut butter at school. All that was bought was coffee and sugar and that was traded for with farm eggs.
Wow 3 trades just to get eggs!! Ty for sharing.
I was raised by my grandparents that lived through the depression. Saving, reusing everything, eating at home, no big vacations. I didn't pay attention when I was young and learned my lesson. Im just like them. It was a blessing that I was able to learn from them 🙏
My Daddy was 21 on October 29, 1929. My Mother was 13. We were raised to always be prepared because governments never learn and history repeats. We've had deep recessions in the past but most are simply not prepared for what is coming.
Your mom was 13 when they were married?
My mom's parents married at 14 & 16, different time back then, not uncommon and they stayed married until my grandmother died.
@@janicew6222 wow! I just thought u mistyped that. I believe it tho. Different times for sure.
My dad turned 100 this year and was also born in a log cabin. 🏠
You are so Blessed❤
You’re 1,000% correct. I’m thankful I was raised by my grandparents in the summer. He was a Depression teenager. He shared numerous stories of hard times & suffering. He taught me what it meant to be SHREWD. I recall he’d rack up Pecans at the local golf course & put in paper sacks. When asked why so many sacks of pecans his reply; because otherwise they’ll rot & people can use them. He’d give them away. He’s also pick out aluminum cans in trash cans at the local golf course. When asked why, his reply; cuz there’s money in there. Humble & shrewd. He was Mayor of the town for two terms. He owned the local drugstore for nearly 25 years. Very very popular in his community. Didn’t effect him. He remained humble and shrewd. I am now 61 & trying teach my adult children. Crickets. They’re in for a massive shock. My only reply will be; WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
God bless us all. Everyone.
"Wear your seat belt, let us know when you get home, and
WATCH for DEER!!" (Appalachian for "I love you")
Same in Northern Illinois!
Pennsylvania too!!!
I live in the mountains in Oregon, and I say the exact same things, lol!
South Jersey also.
The migration disturbs me immensely. We just yesterday supplied food and others things to a young Hispanic women and her son who were burnt out of their rental, which did not have a working fire alarm. A friend is allowing them to stay in her basement, after American Red Cross denied their 3 day renewal to stay at a hotel. She is here on a visa of extreme abuse and refuge. She has finished 2 years of law school in Mexico but was cleaning hotel rooms here. Thankful she is receiving the right direction from us and others involved food wise and financially. I am so blessed to be able to help those in need. Thank you for your channel.
My uncle (85) tells stories of how in the Great Depression, his dad knew it was coming and stockpiled sugar (air tight barrels) and flour and stuff in attic and he remembers having to go up to attic to retrieve enough sugar for that week.
My grandma never threw anything away
Drank cold coffee reused paper and wrapping
They had a garden and she lived of 300 a month
She went through WW 1 and 2
She gave me a cookbook how to substitute like coffee and lots of other stuff I need to dig it out
The only I have from her is an old coffee grinder and pictures I miss her so much
Glad if you have family because that matters most and friends
Praying for our protection
Think a lot of people didn't realize they grew up eating depression recipes. Also a lot of people don't realize ketchup is one of the most popular condiments in the depression because it hid the flavor of the yucky recipes or could be used to make a tomato soup.
I went to the Salvation Army to just see if I could find something neat for my kids. Found a beautiful old tea lamp for daughter. $3.00. Can’t wait to give it to her!
Been following along for a few years now. Mama of 4 little ones…my oldest is just 4 years old and she’s used to me watching “‘tera”. When I was watching the last video she leaned over proudly and said “that’s James.” Showing off her Patara knowlege haha. You really called it on the inflation, praying as we prepare for the troubling times ahead.
Please tell her that James smiled from ear to ear when reading your comment out loud. 🧡🧡🧡 Have a very Merry & Blessed Christmas! 🎁🧡🎁
That's adorable, your little four year old. We have to bring our children up right, teaching them and allowing them to listen to Patara and James speaking their wise words of wisdom, keeping us on our toes and on the right track.
Same here! Two of mine, ages 4 and 8, ask daily if Patara has a new video. My 8 yr old adores James!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤
My daughter was living in Washington state for the last 6 years , up until August 2023 and they were paying $3,000 a month for a motel suite aka efficiency suite ! Highway robbery. She's back home thank goodness 🤗♥️
😮 that’s insane! Thank goodness she’s home!
My mom and dad grew up during the Great Depression and WW2. My dad’s family moved around because my Granddad was a principal for different schools. They lived in Kentucky and West Virginia. I remember my Grandmother showing me how to save fruit and vegetables by cutting out the bad parts. She would wash foil and bread bags to reuse them because she said it saved money. She knew how to can everything and make something out nothing. She was a great seamstress too! I think about all those skills I don’t have but I am determined to learn some of them at age 58. I know, don’t get on me about that. It’s never too late to learn something that is new to you. Thank you for your honesty and your love for us. These are tough times, but I truly believe we will all get on the other side of this and look back and say,”Look what God did!” It doesn’t downplay the tough times. It just shows us that God loves us and He WILL take care of those who trust in Him. God bless you!
I learned to pressure can at the age of 66, never too old to learn. I grew up poor on a farm Mom only canned veggies, berries, fruit and made jelly never using a pressure canner, I wanting everything to be safe and also to can meat learned to pressure can. I quit watching TV in the evenings and started watching youtubers that I could learn from. I thought I was a pretty good gardener but learned some new things that really improved my yield. You Got this!
I thank you Patara and James for all you do. Thank you for your helpful videos. My husband was killed and so it's just me. So I'm trying to figure thing's out on my own. I am so very grateful and very thankful for you and your videos as you have helped me out so much. I'm still trying to figure out how to do things on my own but you are a God send, a true angel. I know I so look forward to your videos. I pray God blesses you and your family greatly for all you do. I know I may not get to ever meet you here on earth, but look forward to meeting you some day in heaven and personally thank you and hug your neck. Hugs and love you Patara. Keep up the great work. Blessings to you and yours
Hang on girl… you got this!
Prayers for you, dear one!
Big smile when you talked about putting left over glass of milk back in frig... I even do that with bit of coffee in mug. I have been practicing for these times for 60 years.
Same here. I really try not waste a crumb.
Same here !! No waste !! Or as my mama always said " waste not..want not " !! She grew up in the last " great depression"...
Same here except 70 years. Learned to not waste from my mom!
I never waste my coffee! 😊
@@donnarayburn8894me neither I reheat it later 12:50
Oh , you dear girl ! If only you knew how comforting your long-distance hugs are !!!
This grandma received it gladly and sent some back to you , with "interest " !!!
Thank you , for all you do to teach , encourage and guide us !
Love you , Patara !
AMEN AMEN 🙏 Prayers for all of us ❤️..
We come in agreement, You are a Blessing to us all 🙏🏼 Thanks You ❣️
Agreed!
Over the weekend my husband n I had a serious conversation on our cutbacks on our spendings! So grateful for our Amish n Mennonite grocery outletsin our area here in Central ,Pa n for that canning n gardening skills that I was taught!!
Omg we’ve started shopping at an Amish Mennonite store as well! It’s a road trip for my hubby and I, but we enjoy it!
Yes, we shop at bb and sharp shopper and Hornings also
I love shopping at Hornings n BBs grocery outlets too! My friend n I make a day of it!!
I also live in Central PA go to Lancaster for fresh produce and shop at a sharp shopper and love the conversation with the knowledgeable people.
Going to BBs in the morning!!!
My parents lived through the depression; they taught us how to live frugally and I appreciate it so much now.
I feel ya girl. I live in Powell, North Knoxville, and I have a small farm. But they just built 245 single family homes in my front door across the small road. It was an 83 acre farm that bit the dust. I used to see hay or corn in the fields. Now all I can see is a wall of the backs of homes that you can’t drive a truck between them. Stay strong girl. We all need to stick together here. Especially now.
And now you will see dead deer in the road every morning...like where I live.
My area is building houses like crazy and they're going for 200k plus. Plus rent is crazy too. They're asking for 1200-1300 dollars a month even in bad areas.
We miss Fruit and Berry Patch out that way.
It's happening here in Idaho too. It's hard to watch. 😢
Even though I have a large and well stocked pantry, I still practice the 5 cans extra. We are blessed and comfortable right now.
You are so RIGHT! My family just suffered its first job loss today. No warning. Shock. Deep breath then we came together. Prayers were said. It was doubly hard because we were starting to recover from the passing of my husband and their father. We’ll make it . Hope everyone is listening to your wise content. I’m grateful to have found your channel and started prepping this past year. Something is better than nothing. Hugs❤
Saying some prayers for you & your family! 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🙏🙏

Pray for your family
I reuse and wash my zip lock bags, unless I used for tomato sauce!!
Theresa,,, me too....👍
Same here.
Same here, and reuse vacuum seal bags til they are too small to use.
Same!
Same! I was raised that way and why throw away a perfectly good ziplock or food save bag if its easy to wipe out for re-use???- I am 61 yrs old and the youngest of 5 - parents born in 1918 & 1919 so they very well remembered the great Depression and why I do re use bags, use sight, smell and a taste of outdated items that are “outdated”… 99.9% of time expiration doesn’t matter: exception I found is crackers and also cottage cheese!😂🤣
Always a truth teller and I love you for it. Congrats to your son on his graduation. My 17 year old just got accepted into the aerospace engineering program at the ohio state. Homeschooling rocks❤
Awesome!!!!
👍🙏✝️
Way to go! 🤗
Thanks for all the well wishes. My husband and I am very proud of him. I pray the world stays normal long enough for him to actually attend.🤞🏽
Congrats! I work for The Ohio State University in one of their county extension offices.
Oh Patara! My older son and his family are moving back home for a year in February. And I am SO GLAD they are! We need to be here together. I need them to be here with us as we are getting older. I need them to be here just in case something happens. I know you get it. Blessings abound.
Oh how I wish/ pray that my son would move back home to help take care of us.
Both of my kids as well. As hard it is for me at times to lose solitude, I am very grateful. We are stronger together.
I've seen lot of multi generational house holds moving to our area and how I grew up and now all gone but my 4 sons are 16 to 23 and just began leaving home last few years my oldest serving overseas in military (im retired and my husband from military) my 2 middle ones in different states for school and youngest homeschool. But preparing for them to come home if need to.
If my daughter and son- in- law ever have to move in with me, I've already told her that we will put up a wall between the dining area and living room so they can have the large living room, rather than a small bedroom. My house is less than 1500 square feet but two bathrooms and we'll work it out.
All my family live in the same town❤❤❤
My husband works part-time at Bass Pro Shop. It's the holiday season and usually, he will be working a lot (24-30 hours a week). They have him down to 11 hours a week and the guy in shipping was complaining to him about how they've cut his hours. (Here's your sign!) I saw this coming with COVID - I knew it was going to get weird and not in a good way so I started prepping and I've been prepping hard all this time. I feel pretty good with my stores but still, I'm going to continue as best I can to continue prepping!
People still do not know in history pandemics caused depression, war, and economic destruction...it is coming full force lately the news is insane these days
Knoxville...future fifteen minute city. Here in Europe things are also bad, on so many levels. As people of the world we need to stand together. Stay safe everyone. Those who have a roof over their heads,, food on their plates and loved ones by their side are blessed this year. Spare a thought and kindness for those who haven't got that.
Health would be great, too! 😢🙏🙏🙏
All you lovely people who are so blessed yo have family...ANY family for he holidays! Lost my son 3 years on December 2nd to Fentanyl & about the same time, my only daughter decided she hated me. Took my only grandbaby away...who i had babysat for the 1st 3 years of his life. We didnt live each other, that baby & i were IN LOVE with each other. I think thats what so upset my daughter.
Thank God i have 4 dogs & over time, one at a time, 4 stray cats hang out here & find comfort & food...a place they are welcomed. Sure would be lonely here but for the animals.
No need for a tree here. God bless you all & DO COUNT your blessings & be so thankful to have any family at all.
Thanks again Patara , I recall my Grandma and Grandpa, and my step father , Born in 1912 1914 and 1927, Bless their souls, I recall alot of saving tips, being raised poor helped me in my life today, My grandma took a chicken and took the head off in one movement , ran around the yard , I was very young then and scared the hell out of me hahahaha memories xx
You are telling the truth. Where I live we have 15 ( min) huge apartment buildings up, or going up. 6 are within a 3 mile radius. A lot are empty…..who are they for? Guess we know. We don’t buy trees. A tree is not Christmas, Jesus is. Love baby Lee🧡🐈⬛🎄
All of those apts buildings are for the immigrants.
Same here. Who are the buildings for?????????
I'm not positive...but I have an inkling that it is going to be housing for the veterans & homeless.
@@janetc9266I highly doubt that!
Everyone keep prepping while you can and Pray,Pray,Pray !! 💗💗💗Hang in there !! 💜💜💜
My maternal grandfather was born in 1873, my maternal grandmother was born in 1876. They remember the Krakatoa eruption, dated in horse and buggy days saw the start of the space age. They were buried on my 15th and 16th birthdays. I used to love hearing about their lives. They taught me so much.
My husband of 39 years passed away in August. He saved and we build our pantry up and it has saved me these last few months.
We got a wood stove today. Praise the Lord. It’s an answered prayer. ❤ I can’t wait to get it installed. It may not be this year but I didn’t even want to wait to get one until next. Will be preparing a wood shed, splitting and seasoning. I’m just so thankful to God. All in his perfect timing. I pray we continue to have wisdom and discernment. Praying for y’all ❤
🤗 Good! I’m happy for you! 👍
I put in a wood stove last year. Such a relief to know that I have a second heat source in the event of a grid failure.
Interesting observation that I made this year....Sunday was "Customer Appreciation Day" at our local Ollies store. 6-10pm was 25% off all toys and Christmas and 15% off everything else in the store. My husband and I realized that the ENTIRE STORE was GRANDPARENTS! We were all there with our grandchildren's Christmas lists. Because our children are struggling and just cant do it.
Very good video again Patara. I truly hope people are listening. Just boiled and deboned 2 of those 4 turkeys I bought the other day for $6 a piece and putting them in my deep freezer. Made a crockpot full of vegetable soup tonight with green beans from my garden and tomatoes from my garden along with corn I had in the deep freezer and potatoes I canned. I share 3 servings with my neighbor and her boyfriend out of that, had some for dinner and 5 more containers going in to the deep freezer. Focus on your food supplies and use it don't just look at it, use it instead of buying fast food. The kids were already making Chili soup for themselves tonight when I went over there but will be using my soup for their lunches at work tomorrow. We are all tightening our belts here in my neighborhood ( kids meaning mid 20's with 4 boys). And yes I have enough money put back to last a year or more and still putting money back out of my check every month. And continuing to stock my pantries when I find a good sale like those turkeys at 50 cents a pound. And all the Glory goes to God I ask for his blessings and guidance every single day I never leave my house without praying to him for his blessings and protection and at night and often throughout the day. Pray Pray Pray. Anna In Ohio
I could retire but still working at 70 -in case my daughter loses her job. My Ma lived in a Hooverville shack during the Great Depression walking along the rail tracks to find coal to heat the shack. I learned much from her. I am frugel.
I can because my grandfather canned and I loved looking at his rows of cherries, peaches, plums, etc. He was born in 1884 and raised on a farm, learning many skills from his parents. He was an officer at the gas and light company during the depression so his family was not affected personally but he and his staff were very affected by the struggles their customers had. For example, if someone couldn't pay, they had coin jars in every office and the workers would take a nickel or dime from the jar to apply to a bill so power was not cut off. Their default rate when they closed the books on the last depression years in the late 40ies was below 2%. People told them they really tried to pay them in full because they were treated right and with dignity, unlike some other companies back then.
I learned a lot about the economy and economics from him and my father. My mother, not so much... Still love them all though they've all been gone for years.
Patara, thank you. I have friends that can't take this conversation. One friend told me that she couldn't put any more on her plate. There are so many 💔 things going on now that people can't take mentally. What's going to happen when you know what hits the fan? I appreciate your videos like you wouldn't believe. As another follower said, you keep us going. I remember the movie, Cold Mountain. It was civil war era and Nicole Kidman's character was a southern lady that did not get her hands dirty. By the end of the movie, she could skin a lamb that had died in the night to save another lamb whose mother wouldn't take it. We are stronger than we know. Keep God close. You're the best Patara.
I went into Hobby Lobby today. All the Christmas was 50% off and it was completely PACKED FULL of merchandise. It looks like hardly anybody is buying anything - just like you said!
The hobby lobby near me was completely sold out of Christmas stuff!
Ours is well stocked too
I work at hobby lobby in West Virginia. And we have a 12 ft 1200$ tree ..50% that's 600$.. we haven't sold any . Usually that's the first ones sold out. Yes the economy is a wreck. Ask yourself this why are they allowing all these illegals coming across the border?.why are they allowing this ? America is collapsing and about to hit the bottom. Folks best be getting all the ammo and weapons they can afford. I do believe your going to need them soon.
Even at 50% off most of the prices are high.
So glad i paid off mortgage this year. Maybe these apartments are part of WEF 15 minute cities. I saw the WEF depopulation map showing vast areas of US with no population. Thanks for sharing 🙏 😎 🏖 🏝
WERE CAN IGET THOSE MAPS AT LIKE TO SEE THEM??
@@tammystempky5709 go to Canadian prepper.
Sad to say we have the same issues here. Lethbridge Alberta Canada. When I was a teen, I walked home alone from our local pub and felt completely safe as a young woman alone. Now I am nervous going from a local business to my car in the lot. So sad.
We went through this in 1994 . My husband lost his job, we lost our house and I am close to that again and I am 80 can not work. Love you.
Prayers friend.
🙏♥️
Prayers coming from one who knows what that's like. Many blessings to you!
Leave the United States then come back illegally you will be taken care of
I have to admit, I bought myself a "faux" tree this year. A little 4' tree that was $30 with my employee discount. First tree in 15 years.
It's reusable indefinitely, so you'll never need to buy another one.
Im nursing four pepper plants in my kitchen as well as citrus trees. 2024, here I come. My plans are to double my garden this year and to start earlier. Hold your nose and jump! Its sink or swim time.
Agreed
Had an experience this fall. I have saved seeds from fall squash/several types of pumpkins that I've obtained from a farmer that closed their stands for the season. Well my 4 yr old granddau helped me to gut out all these veggies and dry them, all stashed away in separate containers. Wonderful job!!! She has been involved in my canning and enjoys it. Well yesterday, I was cleaning out the playroom and found a variety of my seeds filling out her toy kitchen oven, microwave, and fridge. She has become quite a good "stasher". The garden production should prove interesting next summer!!!😅
Brought back a memory again! My mom always put our cups in the fridge if we didn’t finish our milk. She was born during the depression just like your Nana.
Apartments equals 15 minute cities. Let that sink in.
Along with all the dollars stores.
@@reginathompson9350 know your prices
What you said really hit me. Just yesterday I had a bowl of cereal and I had milk left over. I put that milk back in the refrigerator to use the next day when I have another bowl of cereal. I’ve NEVER done that before. It must be my subconscious not wasting a thing I might need later
I absolutely agree to everything you've said. Im an independent truck driver and this year has been horrendous for us. Every owner operater I've talked to is saying the same thing. We're trying to stay afloat earning half of what we normally make. To add insult to injury, what little money I have left after bills this year will be just enough to cover taxes. This is devastating because I already live a very frugal life and have no financial buffer to cover me if I cannot work due to injury or illness. Take heed and do what you can to save.
A local chain grocery store near me was selling Christmas trees for $60. One of the employees said they reduced them last week by $20 because they were not selling.
This is the first year that I have not seen a Christmas tree on someone’s car/truck.
I had a small 2ft. table top tree we are using this year.
Once decorated, it’s beautiful.
The year 2023 was a very expensive year for our personal infrastructure, replacing furnaces, toilets and doing some replumbing. Our Christmas for my husband and I will be without presents but we'll enjoy it nonetheless playing board games and puzzles. Our stockings will have chocolate (can't give up that) and I can be happy knowing that I have safe shelter, am debt free and can pay my bills. Thank you for your videos!
70 Dollars! on something that's gonna die! And leave needles all in your rugs!? No ma'am. That's a weeks worth a food! Or lots of preps!
Same thing with fireworks, when I got older I couldn't see paying for things that blow or burn up!😲😲😲
Exactly!
I’ve NEVER Seen Trees that cheap!
Our Live ones Have Always Been Double that!
They’re $150 up here in the north east
I showed a consultant today The Light Paper which warns of all this! He didn’t want to know! It was all to do with worry. He didn’t get it! Some folks going to
get awful shock in 2024! Keep going Patera and James. I am alone and so many I know do not know what is coming! Love from U.K.❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
I quit putting up a tree for the last 4 years but it looks like we will have a 3 year old and her mother at our house for Christmas I think it might be important for the little one to have a few decorations and it to be cheerful looking. I bought a camping oven and a crank or solar radio another couple things to mark off my prep list. 4 more car payments and that is finished, my little house is paid for all that will remain is my credit card and I should be able to get that paid off quickly. I am poor but very blessed.
Making a lovely meatloaf with my pound of sirloin i got fir 3.99 with a baked potato and some Brussels sprouts. Currently, i am grateful i only have to worry about feeding myself and my dog these days.
🙌🏻 AMEN
My tip, at this point, is if you have a dpare $50....buy an InstantPot. On the surface it sounds like a splurge but the ability to pressure cook with it can help you save money by buying cheaper, tougher, less desirable cuts of meat & have them come out more tender, juicier & tastier than if you'd tossed them in a pan & toasted them or fried them.
We work at our Church Food Bank and yesterday we had so many families that we were running out of food. We try to stalk extra here and there, but it was heartbreaking to see so many more. Our homeless is increasing. People, you really need to find as many uses for things as possible and save, save, save 🙏
Thank you Ms Patara for the encouragement. We opted to not put up a tree this year. We felt it better to put the money toward food and meds. So it’s a gift to self…sorta! My Son in law lost his job and they are trying to maintain a house, 2 cars, and 2 toddlers on just my Daughter’s income. 2024 is going to be so hard for a lot of people. They have no idea of how bad that it’s going to get. My parents grew up during the Depression and I learned a lot of lessons from them as well as my Grandparents. So I have a good idea of what’s going to come. Have a blessed day!
Been stocking for a couple years and had to pull a grocery trip out of it for my daughters family. They moved back to wv from ohio into their old home. Someone cut out all of their electric wires so everything we had saved for emergencies went into wiring water and gas to make it livable. Thank God for the wisdom to put back food so my babies and grandbabies have a full kitchen.
Patera my dear, that smile of yours is better at lighting up our attitudes than any tree! I come on here to watch your videos and always get a smile from seeing YOU smile and your eyes crinkle and twinkle! God bless you, and your family! ❤
We too cut our tree from our property. We had some old redwoods that had sprouted babies and that’s our tree. I saw on Facebook today there is a man that is buying trees for family’s that can’t afford them. No questions asked. Apparently he didn’t have a tree growing up and he wants to bless others now that he can. I thought it was pretty awesome. So much of what you said resonates with me. I don’t even recognize my hometown anymore it’s in decline by design but it’s so sad because I know how it used to be. Thank you always for speaking the truth. You are a blessing And I can’t say it enough.
No one believed me when I say I’m uneasy about what’s to come. I started canning this summer. What I can’t can I dehydrate and or freeze and repeat. I get told you don’t have to save everything. I said yes I do. Thank you for the talks.
Keep it up!
Christmas shopping for my kiddos this past weekend, I made sure they had warm pajamas, heavy socks, underware, the necessity items. I know they aren't exciting gifts, but they are "prepping" gifts. Hard times are here and being prepared even in these items as gifts is a good thing. I always look forward to your wise advice Patara. I read many comments from our family here and learn so much! Praying for everyone here. Love you all.
Thanks Patara. I have blocked off an entire room to save on heat. I tried again to talk to my daughter about having a bit more of a pantry. She said no. I offered some home canned food she refused. She is not interested in anything that might happen. I keep on prepping just in case. Big hugs to you and yours. Keep on speaking truth. Prayers for all of us and our great Republic 🙏🙏🙏
Well at least you know who's house she will be at next year.Wishing she listened to you🙏🙏
Be sure you dont get built up moisture in that blocked off room. (If the windows are sweating, inside you can tell). It can make your drywall bubble up. My brother did that one year and it effected his drywall on the ceiling.
@@lisabeam8315 Amen. Yes I know. Blessings 🙏🙏🙏
@@FloridaGirl- good to know thank you ❤️
Same here in Boise Idado. I have never seen so many apartments going up in this area in my life. Our crime has gotten a lot worse in the last few years. Murders, robberies. Same with homeless its everywhere. 😢
They are throwing apartments up next to million dollar homes in the county I grew up in. Back then in the 60s it was middle class ranch style homes.
Also in my area more apartments and more !! Row after row after row !!
Same in our area. Charlotte/concord NC
My company just laid off people today. I've survived many many many layoffs the past year and a half. I'm looking while I'm still working...
My Grandmother was always repurposing,, canning, planning, using coupons and so on...always busy. She got those habits during the Depression and never broke with them, telling me that she knew what it was to be hungry and never wanted to go there again. When I went hungry, I got to understand her ways a lot better. I'm lucky in that I had a model to follow. And folks out there are lucky to have you to nudge them into helping themselves. God bless.
When I was young, I grew up with crunchy grandparents and the environment was a big concern. We had a large Rosemary bush in a pot that was our Chrismas Tree. We had a few small ornaments and tinsel and everytime you hung something from it smelled amazing.
We really need to pray for one another. Keep encouraging the people. Hugs.
Exactly...prayers to you!
It's sad to see how places have changed. I cannot believe how many farms are away.
Thank you & James for all you do in keeping us moving forward.🙏🏻♥️🎁🎄
100% correct as always, Thank you. My 92 year old Dad (depression baby also) told me he would never see it again but, I and my kids and grandkids would "the world to hit rock bottom" another depression and it would last 25-30 years and be worse than it was last time.
my niece, who works at Walmart here in Waynesville, she works in the garden shop where all the Christmas decor is, said that they were hardly selling any decorations. i dragged out my old tree ive had for ten years. my sister suggested we don't go all out for gifts this year and just buy little do dads to open at our gathering.
My other daughter owns a small business and it's slack! She's worked so hard to build her business but it's a struggle 😢 so sad to me!
Same with my brother! No one is buying anything!
At our local dump transfer station we have a shed where people can leave used items they dont need. This year i brought home everything i could to clean and test before calling 5 families to determine if they need it....i provided 2 raffle baskets to the senior center with stuff from that shed. I cleaned toys and dishes and figurines and carpets and craft supplies to create little baskets of goodies for 8 children for christmas. Blankets and sheets, some brand new were washed and folded like new and given to parents to provide as christmas gifts or to use as needed. This was such a joy for me to do for those 8 kids even though i dont know then that well, often i just know of them or know the need. If you give to your local free to take shed, thank you, as i am sure that there is someone like me transferring the stuff to those who need it most.
That is so awesome. Thank you!
This isnt related to this video but I know you made the video about the dollar store gifts people can give. I just finished my "baskets" for my family and I actually am giving some of the stuff I canned from my garden this year. I got some cute ribbon to tie on my jelly jars and pickles and I also got some tiny jars to give people some dried herbs because i grow rosemary, oregano, and sage in my backyard. And then i made some peppermint bark to add to it. So i was able to just give some nice homemade/homegrown gifts. So thats an idea for people who are maybe tight with money. just share some goodies from the garden. everyone loves it!
Been paying utilitiy bills 1 month a head since March, has helped the stress level.
Me too, I had a little extra last month and paid my council tax , (UK) up to the end of March. One headache out of the way.
Another brilliant video, thank you Patara. We are really grateful for you and your family helping to keep us all prepping! Here in the UK things are just as difficult, same problems different location. Hanging in there together!
Patera, you are one smart cookie. You are blessed to have a good guy like James to back you up. I came from a lower class family so I have been frugal all my life. One thing I know, is war is coming. Verizon had a fourth, 12 hour cell phone and internet blackout on Sunday. The only way that got personal for me was Vietnam. As in all subsequent skirmishes, the civilian pop didn't suffer much, guns and butter were both borrowed for. The coming war civil war or international will bring sacrifices for all. I am on a limited budget, but continuing to think ahead for needs and shortages. I am toughening myself physically, mentally, spiritually, can do without anything but Jesus. Thank you.
Mrs. Tillery here, my great grandmother lived in Tennessee in a cabin with an outhouse when I was little. Still have a cousin living near Nashville.
Out of all the folks I watch I love your streams,family,farm! You are a truther & always straight from the ♡ & always be you! South Carolina here & was up in Knoxville a couple months ago...saw it myself. Beautiful country up your way & ty for everything you share!
So many apartments being built here in north texas more than ive ever seen in 22 yesrs here
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again…
Patera … you are a gem to the American peoples.
Thank you for your videos !
I had the very strong impression a couple of years ago to start prepping for what’s coming. Been going strong from then on. Have a well prepared pantry and have made sure there is enough to help my children. We are using food that was cheap, compared to prices now. Trying now to put some of the money we’re are saving on food away. We are in our 70’s and we are in pretty good shape by listing to my promptings several years ago. Told all our kids absolutely do not buy use anything for Christmas, we don’t need anything anyway. We told the to use that money on preparing or paying on some medical bills they have. Cuttings way back on Christmas this year. Would have made homemade gifts but I’m going into my third year of long COVID and I struggle all the time just to keep up with the bare minimum.
Thank you for always sharing Patara,yes, I understand,my parents lived through the depression and yes,my glasss Of milk went into the icebox til i was ready to drink it.👍❤️✝️ Waste not,want not.
I am making gingerbread men for a group of children to decorate and they can use as gifts. Instilling little homemade things are wonderful gifts.
At Christmas in College, each floor of the dorms was allowed to have a Christmas Tree. But it had to be out of the dorms when the semester was done. I went around and collected the already decorated Christmas Trees and dropped them off at the apartments of friends living off Campus. Merry Christmas!
God us our refuge and strength - I’ve been praying hard and you reminded me to read the word which I hadn’t done yet today. Opened to psalm 95 “oh come let us sing joy to the Lord”… it’s been awhile since I’ve done that - usually just worries going up… it is good to lift our hearts to the Lord and praise him with joy and thanksgiving ……
I know we have cut back on what we are spending this year on Christmas. The gifts that my husband and I bought for each other and our kids this year were useful gifts - clothes, kitchen supplies/appliances, etc.. There were some bowls that I really wanted so I asked for those but I am so excited to get them - they are useful but pretty. I put up a lot of pickles this summer and I just made some 4-Berry jam yesterday and both of those along with a small loaf of banana bread is what we are giving our friends and neighbors this year. I bought some 75 cent stockings at Dollar General and I am going to put everything in the stockings along with a cute little tag and a Christmas Card. I think homemade gifts like these are what most people really love to receive - I know that I do. Homemade gifts really show those that receive them that you cared enough to spend the time to make them : ) Merry Christmas everyone!
