Six Steps To Prepare For The Next Great Depression & Economic Collapse

-

 We are not financial advisors, and cannot give financial advice. However, we do know that sources to draw information from and present the facts. The following article will help you prepare financially, as the world responds to the great injustices against humanity
. The injustice began in 1972 when president Nixon took the U.S dollar off the gold standard (Federal Reserve History, August 1971).

The next great depression and economic collapse is not a question of if, but when. This is due to the fact that the U.S dollar, the world's reserve currency, is backed by nothing more than the government's promise to pay. As history has shown, all fiat currencies eventually collapse, and the U.S dollar is no exception. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Monetary Economics found that the odds of a fiat currency collapsing within a given time period increases the longer it has been in circulation (Garcia, 2014).

To prepare for this eventuality, it is important to take the following steps:

  1. Diversify your portfolio by investing in assets that are not correlated to the stock market, such as precious metals, real estate, and cryptocurrencies. This will ensure that you have a safety net when the market crashes. In a study published in the Journal of Financial Stability, researchers found that holding a diverse portfolio of assets can significantly reduce the overall risk of financial loss (Bharath, Shaliastovich, & Viswanathan, 2011).

  2. Build up a cash reserve to cover your living expenses for at least six months. This will give you a cushion to fall back on in case of job loss or other unforeseen events. In a survey conducted by the Federal Reserve, it was found that nearly half of Americans would struggle to cover an unexpected expense of $400 without borrowing money or selling something (Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 2019).

  3. Reduce your debt as much as possible. This includes paying off credit card balances and high-interest loans, as well as refinancing your mortgage to a lower interest rate. High levels of debt can be a major financial burden during an economic downturn, as it can make it difficult to cover basic living expenses. In a study published in the Journal of Financial Economics, researchers found that households with high levels of debt are more likely to experience financial distress during an economic recession (Dynan, Skinner, & Zeldes, 2004).

  4. Learn new skills and improve your education. This will make you more marketable and better able to adapt to changing economic conditions. In a study published in the journal Economic Inquiry, researchers found that individuals with higher levels of education are more likely to have stable employment and earn higher wages during an economic downturn (Hershbein & Kearney, 2017).

  5. Consider moving to a lower cost of living area. This will allow you to stretch your savings further and increase your chances of weathering a financial crisis. In a study published in the Journal of Urban Economics, researchers found that individuals who moved to lower cost of living areas during the Great Recession were less likely to experience job loss and had higher levels of income and wealth (Gyourko, Tracy, & Wachter, 2013).

  6. Stay informed about the latest economic news and developments. This will help you make informed decisions and prepare for potential challenges. In a survey conducted by the Pew Research Center, it was found that individuals who stay informed about the economy are more likely to have a positive outlook and take action to improve their financial situation (Pew Research Center, 2015).

By taking these steps, you can increase your chances of surviving and thriving during the next great depression and economic collapse.
