The next big collapse will happen in the near future, it will be bigger than 2008! Much bigger...

Here are some of the things worth focusing on in preparation:

- Preparing Your Finances
Start an emergency fund. f you are living paycheck to paycheck and you lose your job during an economic collapse, you are at risk for losing your home and living in poverty. 
- Have some cash on hand. 
Depending on where you have it, money in your emergency fund might be hard to liquidate
- Generate an additional source of income. 
Start a home business as a second source of income. If you lose your job because of an economic collapse, it might be difficult or even impossible to find another job. 
- Get out of debt. 
In a financial collapse, many people are going to lose their jobs and their homes. To prepare for this possibility, you should make a plan to get out of debt as quickly as possible. 
- Store emergency water and food items. 
In the event of an economic collapse, it is possible that your power and water supply might be interrupted, or that you will not be able to pay for these things. 
- Stockpile food. 
The kind of food you store up for an emergency is different from the groceries you purchase each week. You need to get food that is non-perishable.
- Start a vege and fruit garden. 
A garden allows you to continually have fresh, nutritious food to supplement your emergency food supply. Also, in an economic crisis the cost of living might skyrocket. 
- Create an emergency kit. 
This is a collection of household items you might need in an emergency. In the event of an economic collapse, you may not be able to shop for these supplies
- Gather first aid and medical supplies. 
You can purchase a first aid kit or put one together yourself. Either way, make sure it has all of the necessary supplies.
- Preserve meat and fish. In an economic collapse, food stores could become dangerously low. If you are going to stock up on meat and fish ahead of time, you will need to know how to cure it. 
- Create two sources of electricity. 
One source could be solar. Hook it up to your home and then run the system discretely underground. 
- Purchase self-defense tools. 
Self-defense tools are generally non-lethal. They are used to fend off an attack by rendering the attacker ineffective.
- Set up an alarm system in your home. Wireless security systems are easy and inexpensive to install and maintain.
