Time for "Financial Survivalism?" - Peter Gosselin

[AtlasHBS]

Producing what you need and selling the excess to buy the things you want IS capitalism.

If you want more "things" produce more excess and sell more. Your work is your capital. Never blame capitalism and free market principles when it is socialism or government molestation of a market that is the root cause of our financial woes.

Gee, what should people do?

1. Try to keep your job

2. Save your money

3. Don't take out bullshit loans

4. Don't buy stuff you can't afford

2020-2030 year of comprehending that oil is for super rich and for goverment members. The rest of the NAtion in bike and may be motocycle. Don't live in big cities. Because bigger the city is less likely food will reach you cheap. If you like city go settle in small towns. Likelyhood of survival is higher there in future.

Id rather be rich and be able to slap a half-million down on heart surgery. Being wealthy makes life a a hell of a lot easier.

[bigkwilli]

this is true.

[dastardlydude67]

When are people going to wake the hell up and realize we can already produce everything we need to live a full and happy life? What the FUCK do we need MONEY for? Incentive to produce, and waste our lives in meaningless 9 to 5 jobs? Don't think so. Everyone simply needs to produce what they have passion to produce, because everyone is different. Without capitalism, all this shit would vanish.

Think about it.

I guess we can all move to Africa and fling shit around

The Middle Class is about to go extinct... and SOCIALISM is making a comeback????

CORPORATE SOCIALISM is on the rise, while neglecting the shirts on your back. YES I MEAN you reading this.

LMAO! Go ahead, ask those kinds of questions of your employer. But before you do, check on the unemplyment situation and benefits in your area. In todays climate, the employer holds all the cards and has a few aces tucked up his sleeve for good measure. It's sound advice if only our system wasn't so nasty.

@Plutonwolf Peter Gosselin benefits comments totally absurd. Today, accept what you get, and forget about it, unless you work for government. He should have said have save 6-24 months income in bank.
