Are You Eliminating Debt/Backstocking Food?

[Ron]

Up in Canada, especially in Vancouver, they are planning for the "Big One" a high 7-8 Earthquake that wipes out the City.
Learning from Katrina & other disasters, even if the US sends help, they say expect to be on your own for 72 hours at least!

Eliminating debt? YES!!! All we owe is mortgage debt.

Stockpiling food? Only because I keep buying things that I forget are already sitting in my pantry!

Nothing.

That's just silly.

I think it is a good idea to always be prepared.

What would it hurt to have a pantry with nonperishables in your home?

I am not espousing doomsday.

I am just saying OUR OWN GOVERNMENT is concerned about inflation and terrorist attacks that could cripple us.

I'd rather be dead than live in fear. Just me.

Here is my emergency action plan

Mathew 6

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

How do you plan for that?

Good question.

What if you stocked up on canned goods and nonperishables now?

At the worst you would save a lot of money in the future.

You would stave off high prices for a while longer.

My husband gets so mad at me for that?

"How many bottles of ketchup do you need?"



I never use it. I just thought they needed it and didn't want to be out.
