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 a visionary, you can devise plans to counter the situation and still come out

financially intact.

Mistakes to Avoid

“You just come out the other side.

Or you don't.”

- Stephen King, The Stand

Page 17: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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.

Page 18: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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.

Page 19: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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

What Will HappenAfter the Apocalypse?

“Man's mind is his basic tool of survival.”

- Ayn Rand

Page 22: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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.

Page 23: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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

Page 25: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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.

Page 26: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

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.

Page 27: How To Survive a Financial Apocalypse

Implement These Strategies

You’ll rest easy, knowing that you’re

prepared for any economic crisis and confident that you can weather any

storm.
