I just finished reading Jim’s latest contribution to my bookshelf and I must say I have a major concern. I don’t like the title; I think it is way too misleading. This book should not be intended for the “Prepper community” only. The information between the covers can and should be of value to each and every one of us on this planet. Check it out and see if you agree with me that the time reading it and the money spent was worth the investment.
As with all his books and articles, Jim enlightens us in an easy to understand and entertaining format. I learned a lot about banking and world currency and precious stones that I certainly didn’t expect to find included here and was advised not to bury all my valuables in the back yard; too bad I’ve forgotten the specific locations. He covers investing, bartering and common sense debt reduction, all important subjects to consider whether you are expecting a potential widespread financial disaster or just keeping your personal finances afloat.
If you’re looking for a dry, overly complicated reference book that covers fiscal responsibility and corporate mumbo jumbo, please don’t bother with this volume as you will be sorely disappointed. If, on the other hand, you want a practical guide to surviving short term financial downfalls and perhaps long term prosperity via practical tips and suggestions, get this!
I don’t know what Jim has in mind for his next book but I do know that it’s already on my short list of gotta reads.
BTW Shelby’s feline friend, Oreo, is still a prominent member of our neighborhood and word has gone around that she is either dining on way too many mice or, more likely, is "with kittens". I'll keep you posted.
