From CNBC: “Currently, 47 percent of Americans said they either could not afford an emergency expense of $400, or would cover it by selling something or borrowing money, according to a separate report by the Federal Reserve Board’s Division of Consumer and Community Affairs.”
Proverbs 22:3, “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.”
While I am not religious in the sense of following a particular belief system, I have always been intrigued by the Mormon sense of preparedness and keeping/staying out of debt. (Yes, they have a handbook).
The Church’s handbook states, “To help care for themselves and their families, members should build a three-month supply of food that is part of their normal diet. Where local laws and circumstances permit, they should gradually build a longer-term supply of basic foods that will sustain life. They should also store drinking water in case the water supply becomes polluted or disrupted.”
Of course the above picture might just be some good old militia boys heading out to shoot some gators.
