Today we back up and take a deeper look at the topic of debt and how it both destroys lives in good times and bad. Debt is a cancer that is destroying America. We have been sold a false dream, a false dream that robs the true dream of America’s legacy of freedom.
Join me today as we discuss…
- The basic rules of survival
- The false dream of debt vs the real dream that is America
- Why debt really is cancer and why it will make you act in fear
- How debt leads to bigger government
- Why financial management and debt elimination cannot be separated from survivalism
- The cost of debt must be measured in time, not dollars for the horror to become evident
- The only way to eliminate debt
- Why people in debt out spend people who are debt free
- Why you must at least start eliminating debt if you want to be a modern survivalist
- The main way to be a survivor is to reduce dependence
- Inflation punishes savers, save anyway
- We are forced into risk, debt makes that worse
- The solution is in your hands

Join me today as we discuss 7 pieces of career, lifestyle and financial advice that most people simply assume is good advice because “everybody says so”. Much of this advice isn’t exactly wrong, it just doesn’t work in the one size fits all way it is handed out by the semi informed and countless marketing efforts.
Join in today as we discuss advice such as…
- Due to inflation and wage increases debtors do better then savers
- Wealthy people lease cars instead of buying them, you should too
- Going to college is for everyone and guarantees better earnings then not going
- Once you have a 90 day cash fund put all other savings into a retirement account
- Buying mutual funds diversifies your investments by investing in many companies and mutual funds are run by experts who actively act to maximize profits and reduce risk
- Due to __________ put all your money into ___________
- Find the job that pays the highest wage you can get

Today we discuss another tenet of modern survival philosophy, that of “owning land it true wealth”. My view is that many simply do not truly understand what that means and how special it is that the U.S. still has and was built on the right to own private property, for all, not just “nobles”.
Tune in today as we discuss…
- How private property in America was seen vs. the feudal system that was in place in much of the world all the way up to and in some cases past 1900
- It was land that brought early settlers to America
- Why land is the real “store of value” for all time far more so then gold, etc.
- The attack on land ownership and why governments love cities and suburbs
- The Ag Zoning trap and how it kills small farms and creates mega commerical farming that destroys land
- Why you should own land out of the city limits and own more then one piece
- The value of livestock even just a few smaller animals
- What owning your lands production means
- How to use land to build a local barter economy
- Bartering production for skills and learning skills so we don’t loose them to the ravages of time
- Learning to do more with smaller tracts of land to truly beat the system
- How to make it happen and become a land owner
