Are you personally any more worried about the economy now than you were a year ago?  2 years ago?  5 years ago?

Although I haven't kept a log, I know I have been hearing about the coming "crash" on a regular basis for at least the last 30 years so I'm no more worried now than I was 25 years ago.  We live a financially conservative life, live on less than we earn, save, have food storage, invest in tangible assets and do not practice retail therapy so I think we will ride out an economic storm fairly well providing the electrical grid stays up.

Grid down, water off, mad max, we're toast.

Interview last week. Check out 27:00 to the end (or watch all of it - worth it)

shtfplan.com is a good site (the comments section is toxic though)

survivalistboards.com as well, but there are a lot of prots on there, so be aware.

survivalblog.com is good too, but keep in mind James Rawles the guy who runs it is very anti-Catholic
