Practical Prepping Blog

Money and Prepping go hand in hand. Financial Prepping is a topic rarely discussed yet a challenge we all face daily. 

Personal economic hardship, the preparation for a Life Altering Event (EMP, hurricane, civil unrest), and banking disruptions, represent the three reasons why finances should be considered as part of your overall preparedness plan. 

Why plan now? 

1. Unexpected vehicle repairs
2. Sudden medical expenses
3. Collapse of banking system
4. Civil Unrest and National State of Emergency
5. Job loss, death in family, birth of child
6. Government or Private seizure/freezing of funds

Keep in mind this is a generalized threat response and it can be applied to multiple scenarios.
