Hello, my name is Timothy French.

The art of money getting

A goal of all preppers should be to get out of debt. And to get out of debt, you need to manage your finances and personal life accordingly. In his book The Art of Money Getting, P.T. Barnum asserts that there are no shortcuts to affluence; instead, he stresses the importance of virtue as a foundation for wealth.

This book of timeless counsel from a legendary impresario will prove a helpful companion to readers wishing to make the most of their talents and opportunities to prepare.

Microfiction – Who Made Us

“Mom, who made us?”
“God, I guess.”
“Who made God?”
“I don’t know.”
“My friend Billy said we came from two atoms smashing together. If that’s so, who made atoms?”
“I don’t know.”
“Drew said, aliens. Could he be right?”
“I don’t know.”
“Lisa said we came from nothing. Does that mean we don’t exist?”
“I don’t know, but it seems like your friends think they do — I can tell you this.”
“What?”
“You came from me, and I love you very much.”
“I love you too, Mom.”

Cashless BS

All of these stores going cashless and blaming Covid19 are doing it to save money. The no coins thing is BS. Get the government to mint some more. I’d say that’s an essential job, wouldn’t you?

Going cashless is just one more way for the government to watch and control everything you do.

We are not lab rats.

If there were a significant disaster, we would need a way to trade with one another. Cash, gold, and silver are our options outside of the direct barter of goods.

Remember, you can not keep electronic cash at home. If the power goes out or the banks decide to close, you’re screwed.

Think about it.

Are you prepared to take care of yourself during a deadly pandemic

Are you prepared to take care of yourself during a deadly pandemic? Covid19 has a low death rate, but there could be a virus in the future with a high death rate. And I can assure you there will be no essential workers to serve you when that happens. It will be every man and woman for themselves.

So I ask you again. Are you prepared to take care of yourself? Have you stored water, food, medical supplies? Do you have an alternative shelter plan should you lose your home?

The government will not be able to take care of everyone during a disaster of that nature. And the truth is, it is not the government’s job to do so. You are responsible for yourself. And why should anyone help you if you have not taken the time to help yourself by being prepared?

The crazies

Underground shelters are seen by many as a place for crazies to hide, but the truth is, a bunker or safe room is one of the best investments you can make. Think tornado, civil unrest, food storage, or for me as a kid, a place to camp out with my friends, only rising to the surface at midnight to sneak around the neighborhood. Now that I think about it, we were the crazies.
