It is very scary. For the first time in my life I am experiencing anxiety and terrible headaches from worry and stress. My relief is reading my bible, and going to God in prayer. God has a plan and as a Christian I trust his plan. Sometimes its very difficult. I pray every single day that God wins over the evil of this world. We just have to be the best Christians we can be and trust in God.

I’m sorry for the sudden onset of anxiety. I have been battling it a year before Covid hit. Then it got extreme that year. I’m now partially regulated with heart/anxiety meds. And I give my worries to god. It’s a new practice I’m doing. I need my faith back. And now all this. I’ll be praying for you and yes you will find balance. Might take a minute though. Love from Ohio

Get what you need now while you still can. Stock up Happy People, it doesn't hurt and it's an insurance policy and an investment into an asset. So nice to shop in your own pantry and/or freezer. Think what do you need, and if you couldn't get it, you want to get it now. Good Advice in this video. I think many of the Happy Peoples are experiencing the same feelings and concerns. Get out of debt, if you can and know that God Almighty knows what's going on and we win in the end. Glad you got your wood! Smart people!! Fill that pantry. May God Bless your family for sharing what we all should be doing.

Walmarts revenues are up 6%. CEO makes an increased wage of $1.5 million annually. Plus they got a $4.5 million bonus this year (up from $3 million last year). So I struggle with inflation, as it seems the corporations are benefiting from it and it’s us middle or lower income folks that suffer. I’ve been cutting out all extras in my life. Pairing down. Turning off the lights that don’t necessarily need to be on. Adjusting the HVAC. Price shopping around on groceries. Just a bunch of little things to make it more comfortable.

As an Australian, I am concerned about your political situation as well. Mind you, here in Australia also has its challenges. I am now an aged pensioner living in Melbourne and worry about the cost of living. It's been extremely cold here, and you do think twice about turning on a heater. I've just had to do it and am aware the next bill will be high, but I pay some money on my account each fortnight, so the final bill won't be too unmanageable. Having said this, I had an opportunity to travel to Scotland and England, so I used some of my superannuation because I decided life is for living now. Absolutely no regrets! Best wishes to you and your family.

The problem: We do not know what to prepare for or if we need to prepare at all. The only thing we can do is evaluate what we have as assets, what assets are nearby and possibly available, what we need, what we might need in the future, and how to do or get what we need legally. Then leave the rest to GOD. This is not helpless hope, it's reality. You, where you are, can only decide for yourself.

You have allot of land around your property. My advise is to build a bunker. You could do the ground work yourself with a hire plant digger and then buy a basic bunker from Atlas Bunkers to put in the ground. This is a good investment, you can protect your family & extended friends in the worst case scenario and you don't need to move. Bunkers are so much cheaper where you are than from where I am located in the UK. It will give your family peace of mind, you can put a shed over it or have a tunnel from the house. Some are built with forest fires in mind and have smoke filters too. There is lots of benefits from having a bunker. They are not expensive for basic ones. Love your video's.

I have strawberries, blueberries, blackberries in the freezer. Bananas that I can't eat before they go bad get frozen for banana nut bread later. Every little bit helps, let nothing go to waste
