Doomsday Prepper?
I think the biggest question is: What is YOUR doomsday?
Whether you have survived 911, Hurricane Katrina, or lost family members in Oklahoma City, we've all experienced, or know of someone, who has endured their worst nightmare.
My goal is to be prepared for ANY type of emergency.
I also have to be realistic. Since I can't DO IT ALL, I have to focus on PRIORITY.
What may be my priority may not be someone else's. I live in Texas, and focusing on staying comfortable when it's 100 degrees outside is important to me.
What's NOT important to me is staying warm in Winter.
To me, prepping is no different than buying auto, home, or medical insurance. At the end of the year, we're either rotating our stash, or starting all over again on deductibles.
I don't know about you, but I'd much rather pay insurance for a peace of mind than to have no back-up plan when that rainy day hits.
But I also think it's important to not to live our lives in fear. I'm reminded of the saying, I have lived a terrible life, most of which has never happened!
In order to keep a healthy balance, I plan for the worst, and hope for the best.
I still take vacations, splurge, and I still plan for a future.
I don't live to work, I work to live.
My favorite quote of all ---- Either get busy living, or get busy dying! Shawshank Redemption
I don't know about you, but I'd much rather get busy with living.
