What if? How many in times in life are you faced with the "what ifs." What if I get in a car accident, what if my house burns down, what if I die and leave my family with a financial burden? The likelihood of being involved in such a circumstance is slight; however, we still spend a lot of money each year for the insurance to protect us against these difficulties. Look at preparedness as if it is insurance for the other hardships we may face. Whether it is an economic collapse, an EMP (Electromagnetic pulse), severe weather, natural disasters, terrorism, global pandemics or unemployment, any drastic change to our lives can cause difficulty. Be prepared, but prepare sensibly. The Sensible Preparedness books are guides for the average person with an average income and who prefers to stay in their own home during an emergency.
