Part 1 HS Dent : How to Prepare Financially for the Great Depression Ahead

[BamaKattt]

I wonder where the safest place in the country to live in is, if any?

As far as safety goes, traditional advice would be correct. Smaller towns in which people know their neighbors will generally be safer than larger, more anonymous cities. One exception would be smaller towns that are suffering especially bad from the financial crisis, such as a town that depends on a factory that is closing. Smaller towns near the border or along drug and smuggling routes would obviously be dangerous as well.

sounds right to me. I'm in one of the hardest hit areas of the economy and crime is getting bad, bought my first handgun and waiting for my conceal carry permit.

BamaKatt, try looking at the transition movement. It's come to U.S. from the UK recently...Look up Rob Hopkins & 'The Transition Handbook' on YouTube...Don't spend money you don't have too btw...Especially in these uncertain times...You can find a lot of really good stuff without paying for it. Best of luck!

Toledo, Ohio is bad now.... And it's probably going to get much worse, in the next couple years. We're so close to Detroit and American auto-manufacturing

I have a friend, that has been out of work for a year and 1 1/2. In my opinion, he should just move to a new city, than Toledo

I'm moving to Columbus by the end of the summer... If things really do get worse, economically, Columbus still has a pretty good cost of living. Columbus is also 1 of the brighter spots in Ohio right now
