If you're 23, then your options are somewhat limited but also straighforward, though not easy.Trevor wrote:Would you have any advice for a 23-year-old man who's just trying to find a way to survive the coming economic collapse?First, get ready for a post-collapse world.
Find a job that is fairly collapse proof. Work as hard at it as you can. Always work any overtime you can get.
Be frugal. Spend your spare time doing things that increase self sufficiency and cut costs in the areas of housing, transportation, and food.
Work with people your own age who have a similar mindset. To find people like that, get involved with community gardens, food coops, etc.
You can also learn a skill that people will need in a downturn that they will no longer be able to afford to pay full price for. Something along the lines of auto repair or plumbing. It could be something very simple. Get to be known as the hard working kid who can be called to change out a pair of brake pads for $40 cash, or a water heater for $40 cash.
