If you remember what happened with the financial crisis in 2008, then you know that economic collapse isn’t just a threat – it’s already begun. You wouldn’t necessarily believe that from reading the news. But the majority of the news you read and hear is definitely not reliable and the news that is doesn’t have access to the top-secret insider information that the government does. The truth is that trouble is already knocking on your door. Take a look around at what’s going on in the world.

Debts in countries all over the world have skyrocketed. Not one single country is fiscally solvent and yet all of these countries keep going further into debt as there will never be any consequences. But there will be a reckoning when the economic collapse happens and when it does, it’s not going to be pretty. Once the economy goes belly up, you’re going to see lives thrown off balance and the upheaval is going to become a fight for survival and not everyone will survive because they’re not prepared.

As society crumbles into a financial dystopian free-for-all landscape, in an effort to regain control, the government will start calling in the troops. Martial law will go into effect. Your freedom to move about freely will be limited. You won’t be allowed to go where you want to go when you want to go there. You’ll have to be home by a certain time and your rights will no longer matter. Under martial law, regular laws are suspended. You will do as the government says. That’s why you need to protect yourself from economic collapse right now.

Make sure that all of your money isn’t tied up in the bank. Have some cash that you can get to so that you can buy what you haven’t already set aside. Keep your bug out bag ready to roll so that you can get out of an area the minute the trouble starts. Have a place to go if needed that contains all of the survival supplies you need to hunker in place for a while if you have to. That means you need to have your food, medicine, and a way to communicate with others. The power grid could eventually go down in an economic collapse and you don’t want to be without a way to communicate. Make sure you have a renewable water supply near.
