I'm taking plenty of steps to be self-sufficient, but watching reports every night about how bad things are doesn't help my cause.

There's a fine line between staying positive and denying the reality around you. "9. Turn off the news" sure the news is depressing, compared to who won American Idol. or Lady Gaga's new outfit. Really? we are literally heading into the next depression and you want to stop watching news? you could just be one of the other MILLIONS of spoonfed comsumerist zombies waiting for a government full of corruption and greed to give a crap about you. I'd rather direct my lack of positive thinking toward stocking up on food and seeds (to grow my own food) see how well that optimism gets you when you are fighting off waves of rioting hordes when gas gets over $5 a gallon and food doesnt get delivered to your local grocery store.

I've also noticed that people get extremely un-selfish during times like these and will do almost anything in their power to help you out when you need it. @Jason - As I've read in book after book, you won't be thinking about the office or your stock returns on your death bed, you'll be thankful for all the loving friends and family around you. @Mark – I totally agree.

Find those people who are like-minded in their overall goals and build each other up, rather than contributing to their downfall. In the bad times are where true friends are found. You may find more ROI on this than any stock tip! Keep up the good work, Fizzle. Hang out with optimistic people

Great point. Find those people who are like-minded in their overall goals and build each other up, rather than contributing to their downfall. In the bad times are where true friends are found. You may find more ROI on this than any stock tip!

Keep up the good work, Fizzle.

And when it comes to strengthening relationships during hard times like these, you never know how you might be able to help someone or how they might be able to help you. Getting in touch with old friends and making new friends creates opportunity. “Strengthen relationships”
