When I look @ my checking acct. balance..

WHEN I LOOK AT MY CHECKING ACCT. BALANCE, I PANIC!    

But.... when I look at all the supplies in my bsmt., I sigh with relief.

I wrestle back and forth between did I do too much?  to....

Did I do too little?

After spending another $1000 today, I nearly had a panic attack on my way home.

After unloading everything from the van, II came onto this site & read all the latest news reports, etc...

Tonight, I'm more than happy to have made the preps I made today.  Things are happening faster than I ever imagined.

My family means more to me than anything on this earth.  If my "crazy" efforts saves even one of them, it was money well spent!

God bless us all...

<Laughing>  I emptied my savings account twice over!  But even if it was all for nothing I don't give a spit!  In fact, I hope it's all been for nothing.

BTW: When I started I told hubby that is would be cheaper than therapy.

I've been "prepping" all my life...I grew up with a rich grandmother with a poor family that survived the depression here in the US.  Her husband grew up on his own from age 14 coming from abject poverty to begin with.  We were a rural people.  I like to think I'm "in check" because I don't have 150 toothbrushes in a drawer like my grandmother, however...I learned from her to always stock up and I've learned from her you never know what will happen...she took Caribbean cruises all the time but had enough paper plates to last two lifetimes at home, LOL.  I've been chided by significant others for having too much "stuff", etc... I have hit hard hard times where that "stuff" helped me and my child get by, we have been without heat, electricity, etc   (my father and his wife who were rich, btw took EVERYTHING when my grandparents passed)  If anything I have just been more aware now of preps that will be needed when nothing is left, not just what "if" if tshtf for me and my child as it has many times in the past.  I am a survivor and it is awesome to speak with others who have the same inherit? qualities, LOL, although I have lived it for all my life in some capacity.  I have been slowly watching this forum grow and it is so cool.  Kudos to those who are monitoring, so to speak, and we will all do our best to help each other here through this.  EVEN if it doesn't happen, please review the morman philosphy (which I had never heard of until this forum) and take it to heart.  Even though I belong to the "sinners" crowd here, heehee...I believe that the "power" helps those who help themselves first.  Rock on people and glad we are all here.

Don't know that I've been "saved by grace" I wouldn't claim that, although I believe I am here for a reason, even if it were to pose with the giant chicken, LOL.  I won't go into detail as to what I have survived, but I have taken what I have learned and helped others as I was a social worker in the trenches for many years specializing in sexual abuse treatment and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  I appreciate that someone read my post and responded to it and would I understand if it were moved, so to speak.  Been here and reading for awhile.  Keep on keepin' on (:

There may be no credit card company to pay back to if it gets as bad as the
doom people predict. I'm hoping so anyway. At the very least the call centres
will not be contacting you for payment every 5 minutes as their staff will be
dead or off ill.

Harpmandoodle, I suspect cash will still have it's uses.

When I run out of TP, I'll be awfully glad to have that wad of $10 bills.
