It is all about the money with those guys. Soros is the one who shorted the Bank of England and made a couple of Billion on the deal if I remember.

You can't take anything they say to the Bank except follow their wave they are making and try to make some money on their comments.

I can't remember Soros, Turner or Buffet forecasting much two years ago! If they are our indicators, where was the indications 2 years ago?

Eliminate debt.

Make it your goal to "owe no man." Those with debt are gonna be in a world of hurt as this economy sinks further into the abyss.

Now is the time to store up some things you know you will need over the next two years.

Get a wood fireplace or stove. Obama is going to tax energy consumption.

Find a job closer to home. Gas prices are gonna soar toward the end of this year.

We are just now through the initial phase of this collapse.

This is going to get much, much worse.

2009 will go down in history as the year America lost its way.

Foreign powers are watching with glee, and I would not be surprised if we are not tested soon.

Why save if the money we save will be worthless?

We have tried to plan ahead- pay off most debts, all accept for the house, but we do have another house that is paid for- We are talking about stocking the pantry with non perishables so we can have something to eat. What do you plan to do to prepare for the times that are ahead?

No, but we do live on an acre of land- and we can garden- My husband loves the survivalist stuff and is making a list of non perishable foods that we can stock up on. He has spent his morning researching and making a list.
