How to Survive
a Financial
Apocalypse
Signs of an Impending
Financial Apocalypse
“The whole system is going down. Pull
your money out your Fidelity account,
your Scwhab account, and your ETFs.”
-Gerald Celente,
founder of The Trends Research Institute
Major economies of
the world are facing:
Increasing fiscal
deficits
High rates of
unemployment
Rising inflation
The collapse of
banking systems
Demand and
supply
anomalies
Political
uncertainty
Unfortunately…
Signs like these show
a downward spiral in
our economy that
will continue to get
worse as debt
grows, inflation rises,
and more people
leave the work
force.
Even if you have a
job now, this won’t
protect you in the
event of an
economic
meltdown.
Are you prepared for the
ensuing chaos?
When Will This Economic
Collapse Occur?
“There is definitely going to be
another financial crisis around the corner.”
-Mark Mobius,
head of the emerging markets desk at
Templeton Asset Management
Sooner Than You
May Imagine
 Many economists and financial experts believe that signs of
the collapse are quite visible right now, both in our economy,
as well as the changing face of the world economy.
 It may just take another natural disaster like Katrina or
Sandy or a man-made one like the horrors of 9/11 to push
us off the brink.
 A major Middle East war could triple gas prices, triggering
economic catastrophe.
However…
As scary as these doom and gloom
predictions sound, however, as a
visionary, you can devise plans to
counter the situation and still come out
financially intact.
Start Getting Ready Now
“It’s better to look ahead and prepare
than to look back and regret.”
- Jackie Joyner Kersee
Reduce your dependency on the Job.
Take steps to clear your debt.
Look for ways to reduce your expenses.
Learn useful tasks like hunting, fishing,
growing food and self defense techniques.
Start regular exercises to keep fit.
Invest in Necessities
“Forewarned, forearmed;
to be prepared is half the victory.”
- Miguel de Cervantes
• Non-perishable foods, water and salt
• Coins will be in great demand, since paper money might be
worthless.
• Gun or bow & arrows for hunting
• Gardening equipment
• Handyman tools for building and repair
• Farmland with a source of fresh water
• Cows and chickens for meat, milk, and eggs
Ways to Make Money During
an Apocalypse
“It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who
will survive but those who can best manage
change.”
-Charles Darwin
Acquire Extra
Supplies to Sell
 Stock up on extra non-perishable foods.
 Buy farmland to grow fruits, vegetables, have a place to
hunt, and a fresh water supply.
 Get livestock now for a fabulous return on investment.
 Collect extra tools and equipment. Demand will be high
and so will the price.
Develop Valuable
Skills & Knowledge
 Marketable skills: cooking, sewing clothes, building,
gardening, self defense, and more
 Make friends & share complementary supplies. You
both will prosper.
 Explore alternate sources of energy. This can become
a great marketable knowledge.
 Learn natural remedies and keep a well-stocked first
aid kit. Others will gladly pay you to use your skills to
help them if they're sick or injured.
Mistakes to Avoid
“You just come out the other side.
Or you don't.”
- Stephen King, The Stand
Complacency
Complacency is your worst enemy. It’s important to realize that
economic collapse really can happen
– and it can happen to you!
History shows that varying degrees of economic disaster have
occurred all over the world many times. Our recent recession
was only a taste of what may be coming.
The more prepared you are, the better you’ll fare.
It’s smart to plan for the worst but hope for the best.
Ignoring Your Debt
Your debt burden can follow you, even in an
economic catastrophe, making the situation all the
worse for you.
Freeing yourself of debt also frees up your money,
giving you the option of spending your money on
what you see fit. You can better prepare for the
future without debt.
Waiting Too Long
to Get Started
There are things you can do today:
This week, buy enough extra water and food to last your
family 1 day. Next week, buy extra food for another day.
Continue until you have a 3-4 week supply.
Gather together an emergency kit with:
extra food, water, clothes, blankets, first aid supplies, a
flashlight with extra batteries, matches, and more.
Keep your kit readily accessible.
Stash some cash, and add a little each week.
Include gold and silver coins in your stash.
Not Having a Plan
•It’s easier to make headway on your
preparations when you’re organized.
•Write down what you wish to accomplish,
along with a timeline for your tasks.
•Make a list of the items you need to obtain
and then just check them off as you get
them.
What Will Happen
After the Apocalypse?
“Man's mind is his basic tool
of survival.”
- Ayn Rand
A New Reality:
The World as We Know It
Will Change
After the collapse, we can expect changes like these:
 More stringent laws and regulation of banks and creditors.
 No easy money in the market. Lending norms will be
tightened.
 We’ll learn to live within our means.
 We’ll become more self-sufficient.
Hope
With every crisis comes the wisdom to
deal with it.
Just as we emerged from the Great
Depression, we will determine a way
to get past an economic meltdown.
Gradually, the situation will improve as
we restore supply routes and find our
economic footing again.
Looking Forward
“Be prepared.”
-Boy Scout Motto
Take Responsibility
It’s important for you to
take responsibility for
your future. Your
survival – financially
and otherwise –
depends on it.
Make a foolproof,
clear plan of
action to take care
of your family
during an
Apocalypse.
Be able to release
your dependence
on the current
system, at least for
a few weeks.
Bond With Your Neighbors
A closely knit
community can
fulfill each other’s
needs through
barter, without
much
dependency on
the government.
This is how the
smarter groups
will stay afloat,
even in times of
a great
economic
collapse.

Continue until you have a 3-4 week supply. Gather together an emergency kit with: extra food, water, clothes, blankets, first aid supplies, a flashlight with extra batteries, matches, and more. Keep your kit readily accessible. Stash some cash, and add a little each week. Include gold and silver coins in your stash.
  • 20. Not Having a Plan •It’s easier to make headway on your preparations when you’re organized. •Write down what you wish to accomplish, along with a timeline for your tasks. •Make a list of the items you need to obtain and then just check them off as you get them.
