In these challenging times, it’s increasingly important for individuals to become more self-reliant, particularly in the face of economic and global uncertainties.
Let’s take a quick look at why this is vital in today’s unstable world and how it can make a difference in our lives.
To begin with, the U.S. is grappling with over $30 trillion in national debt, signaling potential future economic strains like higher taxes or inflation.
This means less reliance on government support and more on personal financial management.
The changing demographics, with an aging population, are reshaping the economy.
Older Americans are a growing percentage of the population and have different spending habits and healthcare needs, potentially putting safety nets like Medicare and the stability of our healthcare system at risk.
Food insecurity and shortages is another pressing concern.
With rising food prices learning skills like gardening or supporting local food sources is becoming essential.
Geopolitical tensions, such as those in Gaza, contribute to global economic uncertainty. This can affect international trade and investment, making it important to be prepared for sudden economic changes.
Domestic issues like political divisions and security concerns, highlighted by incidents like the recent shooting at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and the disintegration of our major cities, especially in the blue zones, also highlights the importance of personal safety and community engagement.
The massive influx of millions of poor and needy undocumented immigrants and potential terrorists across the U.S. southern border poses another major challenge.
This situation could potentially lead to shortages in housing, healthcare, and other essentials, adding to the strain on government resources and highlighting the importance of individual and community preparedness.
Energy crises, supply chain disruptions, and the threat of health crises further complicate the global situation, affecting everything from daily living to healthcare accessibility.

It involves being financially savvy, adaptable, and prepared for various scenarios.
