Establishing A Monthly Budget For Supplies or “Preps”
I’m a regular American with a mortgage, bills to pay, etc. As such, I don’t have a great deal of extra spending money to allocate towards my “preps”. The good thing is that you don’t need millions of dollars to take significant steps towards preparedness and self reliance.
For me, currently, I typically allocate $100 a month right now to build up my supplies. This money might be allocated towards some bulk quantities of freeze dried foods or maybe some equipment such as candles, water purification tablets or maybe it goes towards ammunition. Either way, as month after month goes by, you’ll quickly realize that you can build up a nice supply store with your set monthly budget. The items will accumulate and you’ll start to feel fairly ready for some uncertain circumstances.
What is your monthly budget? How do you determine how much to spend on your supplies each month?
Not mentioned here is allocating money toward gold and silver and other precious metals. I believe this is also a big part of preparing.
