When the Big Bust comes, the things in life that actually matter will be clear. Consider how to preserve those by remaining calm and using what you have.

You Will Need

  • Canning supplies
  • Water purification system
  • Bottled water
  • Fishing tackle
  • Gun
  • First-aid kit
  • Rationality
How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Downsize and pay

Step 1: Downsize and pay

Eliminate liabilities, downsize the way you live, and do it within your means. Pay down credit cards and sell your car to get a more economical, fuel efficient one.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Spend on essentials

Step 2: Spend on essentials

Spend the money you have on basics, like food, water, batteries, wool blankets, soap, and duct tape. Kids who have left home can move back in and contribute. Consolidate, share, and use less of everything.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Feed your own

Step 3: Feed your own

Plant a garden and can as much as possible. Keep easy-to-store food supplies and invest in a water purification system, along with bottled water. Live near the sea if possible and fish or hunt.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Keep safe

Step 4: Keep safe

Protect your family with locks and guns in case desperate measures are necessary during a food shortage.

Bond with your immediate community to help rather than shoot one another.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Put together a first-aid kit

Step 5: Put together a first-aid kit

Put together a basic first-aid kit for emergencies. Include bandages, pain relievers, cold packs, and alcohol, and keep the kit in a secure place.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Barter for necessities

Step 6: Barter for necessities

Barter for necessities. Sell everything that isn’t absolutely necessary.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Exchange the money

Step 7: Exchange the money

Convert your money and investments into precious metals and stocks. A super-inflation will render money worthless.

How To Survive Total Economic Collapse: Maintain rationality

Step 8: Maintain rationality

Remain rational and don’t panic, for the sake of your loved ones’ peace of mind.

America suffered a record $13.9 trillion loss in household wealth in a little over a year by 2008.
