It is easy for employed middle class people to ask why people don't prepare. Preparation for what may never come is difficult when the question every month is "are we going to be able to make all our bills this month?"

A lot of preparation is simply thinking, and the last I heard, that doesn't cost anything. A lot of people won't even do that.

God I love a thoughtful woman. It's refreshing and gives me hope. <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Why is it, do you suppose, that in this age of equality and empowerment, when the SHTF, typically the fems take a big step back and the real men step up and into it? I would have no worries getting tossed in the thick of things with someone like you, but most of the womenfolk I've been around wouldn't be worth a tinker's darn in a catastrophe. Then again, I guess I could say the same for quite a few fellows too. Mollycoddling seems to be an ever-expanding standard these days.

Damn Susan, you have put a smile on my face. I do like the way you think! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hope you take that as a compliment. My opinions may not be admired by everyone I realize.
