The powers that be would have us believe the spin that the economy is getting better. That unemployment is slowing down so therefor improving. What the numbers don't take into count is the amount of people that have fallen off the roles of unemployment. They don't collect UI so they are not counted anymore. Believe me folks there are plenty of these people out there.

Currently there is talk of the falling dollar, that certain countries and the UN are conspiring against us to create the fall of our dollar. Will it happen? I'm no economist but I read from the works of good people that are and they are worried. Most are talking about diversifying assets. Makes since to me. Why keep all your assets in a worthless paper currency. When is it time to diversify?    I think now if you can. Take control of your assets. By that I mean have your assets in your hands and under your control. Precious metals are always the first topic to come up and I tend to agree that gold and silver have been historic ways to beat economic hardships. Also assets that produce wealth would be worth while. Ag land where small crops can be planted and raised, or small animal production of chickens, rabbits, ducks and geese, maybe even lambs and goats.

Other assets may produce income in other ways. Find a niche that needs filling and if possible try and fill it. Some items in a down economy will be difficult to get. Think food and medication. These are things that need to be worked on now. Filling the basics now and expanding from there as money and time permit. Clothes as well. By extra as you can and store them.

Once your needs are taken care of don't forget to collect some barter items. Things that could be easily traded. But remember Never Ever trade items that could come back to hurt you.

Enough for tonight
God Bless
