Yes you are still responsible for the mortgage & taxes etc. However, your insurance pays for a place for you to stay in a hotel or a short term apartment. Unfortunately when we had our house fire the insurance was "supposed" to pay but didn’t & the motel hit my debit card & ended up overdrafting my account. Then refused to pay the overdraft fee. Thus i now have $ in bank as a cushion. But eventually the insurance paid the motel minus the overdraft i got stuck with. I hope no one ever has to go through this. Then ServePro stole a 100 yr old antique ashtray owned by Irvin Austin. Founder of Austin TX, my hubby's relative. An expensive like new ski doo snowmobile suit among other things. The person reconstructing the place used shoddy materials so the so called repairs were terrible.

Hello Mike and Tawra .. it’s been a while ❤ haven’t seen a live in a while 😢

$5000 may as well be a million for many people. This is not realistic!

Lol..your so wrong..eggs are now $7 a dozen up from $2.50..because of bird flue

A lot of foods grown here are shipped to Mexico and China to be processed and then shipped back here….😊

I agree with a lot of what you say. As for obesity, I will add, food availability, ingredients, activity for the individual, and addictive characteristics in the food have made our country unhealthy also. Praying for our country and Trump/ Vance.

Tap water in Florida tastes like sulfer. So yes we have a stack of water.

Flint Michigan had bad water..most places in our state have good water.😊Yes, our governor is a Democrat and we sure didn't vote for her..hopefully we can vote her out next time. I sure like your videos!😊

Thank you are a life saver😂

Thank you for saying the truth Tara. President Trump has had a full life, all the trappings and power one could have. He could easily have walked away but he's running into the fire. He loves our country and us and wants it to not only survive but excel. Our family prays for him And his helpers every day.

We don't earn more than we spend, if we suddenly need our money for something, we have allways food at home, so we don't have to spend money for food. We have had since year 2000. No stress about how to feed the family.

Just found 40oz cans of yams at walmart for $.50 bought all 10 cans.

I love those stainless steel scrubbies as well. But they're no good on a polished surface as they scratch. In general the outside of my pots and pans have to fend for themselves. If I have to clean up the outside due to a baked on spill I'll reach for the green scotchbrite and BKF, though the scotchbrite pad can scratch as well. As others have said you may need to use a little more BKF. You want a generous amount of it and not much water when you're scrubbing.

table salt and lemon juice

My mother home canned all sorts of food. There were cases of jars hidden all over the house.

All my adult life I have kept stock of supplies n foods I’ve just always did this .

Sarcasm is my toxic trait..i laughed lol

Not everything can be stockpiled. Gluten free food won't last that long on a shelf. I know. I have Celiac Disease.

There are always long lines at Costco no matter what day it is or even the time of day.

I do both. Money and food. My stock pile was couponed for. It will save us money. If one ever lost a job we had food. Covid happened. We needed zero from the store. I totally agree with you❤

I have a closet full of the staples we use every day, that way when I run out of ketchup, mustard, mayo, soy sauce etc I don't need to go shopping and impulse buy more items. I save money by making every thing I can from scratch, yesterday I made bread buns for the stew I made in the slow cooker, a batch of scones and muffins for snacks. Tomorrow I will make a Chinese dinner with rice, homemade egg rolls and homemade sweet and sour sauce. I make banana ice cream with homemade chocolate sauce, pizza dough with tomato sauce ( yes homemade ) all these recipes are from your cookbook. I haven't purchased anything I can't make myself for over 40 years, we are mortgage free, debt free and now retired.

Another really informative vid. Thanks heaps Tawra! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

I am getting ready to draw social security.My husband draws SS and army pension.We are debt free.We have small 401k and emergency fund.I have decided to invest my entire SS check.If he passes first my income drops in half.We lost our big life insurance when retired.I want to ensure I am secure and don’t leave any burden to kids.That is my most important prep.

Thank you for speaking the Biblical truths. I am prepping but I am looking up. God Bless.

my advise money you cant eat it food its better prepare its always smart and the world his no longer safe any where eartquate lockdown etc.....

I miss my Wed night lives

It is quite because of prayer.

Thank the Lord we only have a few more days to have to hear the current voice!

❤❤❤

I am preparing.....I am self employed and I am doing everything I can to work ahead so I can take the day off and enjoy the process!

My husband uses a medical device that uses about 3 gallons of distilled water weekly. The distilled water in our area comes in the heavier jugs like juice jugs. I fill all of these and store the min tge garage in the winter. In the summer i use it up on plants then refill in the fall. We have a pool that we maintain in the summer so we don't need to save as much water. I don't like to keep water in plastic in the heat of the summer. We also have a zero water filter to filter our stored water.

I would by the milk in a can with fat and freeze it will extend the fat content life. Samw with water. Put in soda bottles empty milk jugs etc. and freeze it.

The discussion at my house is why you eat out. My husband says for the food. I say so I don’t have to cook. Cooking is not my favorite thing to do but I do it at least 28 days a month. (We have no consumer debt.)

An osmosis system with a mineral filter from home depot is 250.00 the water tastes fantastic! It cleans out 99.9% of everything! It’s worth the investment!!

Hmm I’ll have to try tomorrow. I’ve unsuccessfully tried boiling water and vinegar in my burnt saucepan and then baking soda but hasn’t budged much!

Yes please tell, your story

im making croutons today a family favorite xoxoxoxo

I would just add to be careful of the expiration of prescription meds and other meds. As far as mice, you can take some cheap cake mix and mix it with baking soda to get rid of them. Mice can't burp so after they eat the yummy cake mix with the baking soda it will kill them. You can also mix the baking soda with other things the mice find yummy.

Be glad you don't live in CANADA, We are being taxed to death. Taxes are going up another 21% April 1st, on EVERY Thing. Your FOOD is so much cheaper than our's, it's unreal. Actually EVERYTHING you have in the USA us cheaper. Might as well double all of your products, and food. I keep trying to stockpile more, but it's been hard. Same as paying off our Mastercard, things have gone up so much, it's getting very hard to get it paid off. We are just praying for an honest election, in May and get the PM we want. Wish the date was much sooner!!!

Lol 😂, I am jealous of you fifty cent green beans. That is even my favorite brand.

I live in Kansas.

Yes, I would like to see about your “story”! Also, can I freeze bagged cabbage to make creamy Cole slaw later. Thank you!

How many freezers do you have? How do you protect products in boxes, bags, etc. that critters do not get in. Do you have a video about the expiration dates. I love your channels! Thank you so much!

I am well stocked but before an impending storm I try to fill in anything that might be low so we are more comfortable. We would be fine without, it's just nicer. We were caught unaware before the big shutdown of all times and were fine with what was in the house. I am prepping the same way before 1/20. We might have a problem until things shake out. Then things will improve.

Even if you can afford only one extra item a week it adds up. Even at full price a bag of regular rice goes a long way.

Thanks for sharing

Awesome video guys
