Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes. Today’s episode was originally Episode-1749- Financial Preparedness the Modern Survivalist Way & was originally first published on March, 22nd, 2016.
The notes below are the original notes from that episode.
Tuesday shows are always stand alone, just Jack shows on a particular subject. Today’s will be on financial prepping, next Tuesday will be on guns and the following will be on food storage and prep. This was all due to the results of an informal Facebook poll. You can see the post and results here.
To that end I will be doing more stuff like this in the future to let you guys tell me what topics you want covered. Today we delve into financial preparedness in a way you won’t ever learn in school and almost no “financial adviser” will ever assist you with, except perhaps John Pugliano.
Economics and the reality of unfunded liabilities, the national debt along with everyday financial worries is the number one reason people get into the preparedness lifestyle. Sometimes it is from a practical approach but just as often it is panic and fear based. Today we set aside panic and establish a base of common sense and pragmatic techniques to build, preserve and protect wealth.

I’ve heard the recommendation to watch “The Big Short” several times here and just finished watching it and it was excellent. It was on Pluto from our ROKU system. The commercial interruptions were surprisingly minimal, less than on YouTube.
I remember in 2008 reading an article in MONEY magazine that everyone should go out and buy real estate as it was skyrocketing in price. I, who know nothing about such topics, says to myself “not a good idea”. This movie explains why I was not gifted with some special wisdom, but that this was the plan all along.
