I think the way to weather economic bad times is to try to stay debt free and try to keep some income happening.


I agree with the running away to the country being a fantasy. Now is a good timne to be sharpening agricultural skills.

However, if we end up with inflation staying out of debt is usually not the way to make out. Going into debt during inflationary periods may be a better strategy. When you borrow money, then the money loses value, you can end up paying back less in effect. I've heard a lot of predictions forecasting inflation recently.
