DESCRIPTION
The world has become a global village and economic events anywhere on the planet can impact the world economy. In the recent past, we’ve witnessed a series of events leading to economic recession in the US and its impact was felt across the world, bringing down other nations like the UK, Japan, France, and Greece to their knees. Major economies of the world are facing increasing fiscal deficits, high rates of unemployment, rising inflation, the collapse of banking systems, demand and supply anomalies, political uncertainty and more. Are we heading for an economic meltdown?

How to Survivea FinancialApocalypse
Signs of an Impending Financial Apocalypse
“The whole system is going down. Pul l your money out your Fidel i ty
account, your Scwhab account, and your ETFs.”
-Gerald Celente,founder of The Trends Research Institute
Major economies ofthe world are facing:
Increasing fiscal deficits
High rates of unemployme
nt
Rising inflation
The collapse of banking systems
Demand and supply
anomalies
Political uncertainty
Unfortunately…Signs like these
show a downward spiral in our
economy that will continue to get
worse as debt grows, inflation rises, and more
people leave the work force.
Even if you have a job now, this won’t protect you in the event of an economic meltdown.
Are you prepared for the ensuing chaos?
When Will This Economic Collapse Occur?
“There is definitely going to beanother financial crisis around the corner.”
-Mark Mobius, head of the emerging markets desk at
Templeton Asset Management
Sooner Than YouMay Imagine
Many economists and financial experts believe that signs of the collapse are quite visible right now, both in our economy, as well as the changing face of the world economy.
It may just take another natural disaster like Katrina or Sandy or a man-made one like the horrors of 9/11 to push us off the brink.
A major Middle East war could triple gas prices, triggering economic catastrophe.
However…
As scary as these doom and gloom predictions sound,
however, as a visionary, you can devise plans to counter the situation and still come out
financially intact.
Start Getting Ready Now
“It’s better to look ahead and preparethan to look back and regret.”
- Jackie Joyner Kersee
Reduce your dependency on the Job.
Take steps to clear your debt.
Look for ways to reduce your expenses.
Learn useful tasks like hunting, fishing, growing food and self defense
techniques.
Start regular exercises to keep fit.
Invest in Necessities
“Forewarned, forearmed;to be prepared is half the victory.”
- Miguel de Cervantes
• Non-perishable foods, water and salt
Food Supply
• Coins will be in great demand, since paper money might be worthless.
Gold & Silver
• Gun or bow & arrows for hunting• Gardening equipment• Handyman tools for building and repair
Important tools
• Farmland with a source of fresh water
Property
• Cows and chickens for meat, milk, and eggs
Livestock
Ways to Make Money During an Apocalypse
“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.”
-Charles Darwin
Acquire ExtraSupplies to Sell
Stock up on extra non-perishable foods.
Buy farmland to grow fruits, vegetables, have a place to hunt, and a fresh water supply.
Get livestock now for a fabulous return on investment.
Collect extra tools and equipment. Demand will be high and so will the price.
Develop ValuableSkills & Knowledge
Marketable skills: cooking, sewing clothes, building, gardening, self defense, and more
Make friends & share complementary supplies. You both will prosper.
Explore alternate sources of energy. This can become a great marketable knowledge.
Learn natural remedies and keep a well-stocked first aid kit. Others will gladly pay you to use your skills to help them if they're sick or injured.
Mistakes to Avoid
“You just come out the other side.
Or you don't.”
- Stephen King, The Stand
Complacency
Complacency is your worst enemy. It’s important to realize that economic collapse really can happen
– and it can happen to you!
History shows that varying degrees of economic disaster have occurred all over the world many times. Our recent
recession was only a taste of what may be coming.
The more prepared you are, the better you’ll fare.It’s smart to plan for the worst but hope for the best.
Ignoring Your Debt
Your debt burden can follow you, even in an economic catastrophe, making the situation all the worse for you.
Freeing yourself of debt also frees up your money, giving you the option of spending your money on what you see fit. You can better prepare for the future without debt.
Waiting Too Longto Get Started
There are things you can do today:
This week, buy enough extra water and food to last your family 1 day. Next week, buy extra food for another day.
Continue until you have a 3-4 week supply.
Gather together an emergency kit with:extra food, water, clothes, blankets, first aid supplies, a
flashlight with extra batteries, matches, and more.Keep your kit readily accessible.
Stash some cash, and add a little each week.Include gold and silver coins in your stash.
Not Having a Plan
Plan
• It’s easier to make headway on your preparations when you’re organized.
Tasks
• Write down what you wish to accomplish, along with a timeline for your tasks.
Items
• Make a list of the items you need to obtain and then just check them off as you get them.
What Will HappenAfter the Apocalypse?
“Man's mind is his basic tool of survival.”
- Ayn Rand
A New Reality:The World as We Know It
Will Change
After the collapse, we can expect changes like these:
More stringent laws and regulation of banks and creditors.
No easy money in the market. Lending norms will be tightened.
We’ll learn to live within our means.
We’ll become more self-sufficient.
Hope
With every crisis comes the wisdom to deal with it.
Just as we emerged from the Great Depression, we will determine a way to get past an economic meltdown.
Gradually, the situation will improve as we restore supply routes and find our economic footing again.
Looking Forward
“Be prepared.”
-Boy Scout Motto
Take Responsibility
It’s important for you to take
responsibility for your future. Your
survival – financially and otherwise – depends on it.
Make a foolproof, clear plan of action to
take care of your family during an
Apocalypse.
Be able to release your
dependence on the current
system, at least for a few weeks.
Bond With Your Neighbors
A closely knit community can
fulfill each other’s needs
through barter, without much
dependency on the government.
This is how the smarter groups will stay afloat, even in times of
a great economic collapse.
Implement These Strategies
You’ll rest easy, knowing that you’re
prepared for any economic crisis and confident that you can weather any
storm.
