I believe in the principles of prepping. What is difficult is being ready for financial emergencies.
Decades ago my supervisor told me: women, married or not should be financially able to handle emergencies, she is correct. In the upcoming months I will be discussing living a simpler lifestyle which will lead to financial stability.
Are you really ready for IT? A medical emergencies, death in the family, rental not being renewed, hurricane / tornado destroying your home, job loss, child in jail, divorce, and the list goes on.
