LB SAYS MONEY BLOWS ( article 2 of 2 today )

Lizard Brain has been on high alert. First with the whole savings to assets ( which just started out as a spare savings to assets and then ballooned-but, as we know, Lizard Brain, LB, works in mysterious ways. Did that bastard screw up the Eight Zero project? ) and then with Saudi Arabia and then after nobody at all ever anywhere panicked, Baby Jesus said, what a bunch of dumbasses- how much of a sign do they need from us?, and then the bank liquidity started the next week. Yeah, hello, LB is screeching up a racket.

So, yes, OF COURSE I am telling you to panic. What am I supposed to say? No worries, mate, it has always worked out before? Now, true, I cannot JUST say panic. I have to qualify and amend. I cannot just tell you to panic and leave it at that. Not all of you are on the same sheet of music. You worry less. Some of you worry more, and have been fully prepped for twenty years. So I'll just tell you why I myself don't mind panicking early and avoiding the rush. It is only money.

*

Pretty simple. The money you spend panicking? What would you have done with it anyway? Put it in the bank? Put it in a McMansion? No matter what you do with your money, it is gone. The bankers get it through inflation, the government gets it through taxes as you consume. The wife gets it for mediocre sex. You WISH she was a hooker. Then she would take more professional pride. My NOL has most of the money, and I strive to satisfy her. How hard is it? “I'm an Independent Woman! Don't need no man!” Fine, move out of that nice house into a single apartment.

*

Anyway, money is a disposable tool. Like toilet paper. No matter how you wipe, it is better to say goodbye to the stuff rather than trying to keep it like a trophy ( “Eddie, you no house walking the dog mother humper, you don't pick up the turds. I'm using one for an end table” ). Who says, damn, I wasted $5.87 last month on toilet paper? Nobody. It is the cost of living expense that while you COULD save on, few people choose to. Even poor people use toilet paper, except they are napkins from McDonald's that clog up the pipes.

*

Why are poor people eating at McDonald's? Because of the free toilet paper, silly! You don't think a Big Mac costs $5 because of the 100% beef patty, do you? No, the paper packaging costs are going up. People are poor because they eat there, so they grab all the free crap they can. So the costs go up, leaving them poorer. Ah, the tragedy of the commons. Listen, do you remember what you made working as a teenager, forty years ago? Perhaps. Do you remember how you spent your money? Probably not, right?

*

Money is no big deal. You'll earn more in two weeks. Stop sweating it. Spend it. Go crazy on this prepper crap. If nothing bad happens, who friggin cares? You would have wasted it on something else anyway. Like McDonald's. Or Starbucks. Yeah, I know-chump change. The second worse survival advice ever, the Stop Eating Out And Stop Drinking Coffee Out advice ( the first worst is “don't just survive, thrive!” Don't get me started! ). Chump change, for chumps. You need to prep, you need to give up the really expensive crap.

*

Like privacy ( rent every room, live in the basement or garage ). Or the second car ( you can exercise AND get Bicycle Jacked riding through the ghetto ). I mean, who exactly are you kidding? The other three hundred thirty million fools out there also think that in bad economic times they also have to pretend to be successful, the Queen Hen, the peacock of the walk, and spend over what they have to “prove” it. Go against the herd, not with it. Herds are just targets for omnivores. Be different, have disposable income. We are entering an economic collapse, and you want to impress a potential trophy wife with your house and extra cars?

*

You think you need to keep the current wife happy, so she doesn't leave you and take the kids and half your income? So, you are okay with her cheating on you? Because that is what she is going to do as soon as you run into financial issues and she starts shopping around for someone to keep her in the lifestyle she is accustomed to. I guaran-damn-tee it. I will wager a jelly filled donut on it. If the bitch won't let you prep because she wants luxury, that is exactly what she is going to do. That is her personality type.

*

Believe me, you can prep on half of your income, even minimum wage. I've done it. You just can't have any other nice things. Did you know that 13% of the US population earns less than $5,000 a year ( I don't know if that is “working population” or just “total population” )? I'm proud to be part of that thirteen percent. I can STILL prep on that income. It doesn't matter how much you make, just how you spend it. But spend it we all do. Because we all know that worthless company script isn't going to be worth much of anything very soon.

*

Most folks spend hedonisticly. That yummy $5 Starbucks coffee drink. Not waiting for video or streaming but going to the theater for $12 a seat and $8 for popcorn that isn't even made with coconut oil anymore. The SUV instead of the rice burner compact. American cars instead of Japanese even though for the same price one lasts twice as long as the other ( this way, they can put US flags on the car and bloviate how they support the troops. As if NOT hating is the new Virtuous Signal. How do you like when communists wear that label, bitch? ).

*

All you have to do to prep is to NOT spend like a drunken sailor in Manila. Because everyone is going to spend their money. Everyone. The one guy who doesn't is a little creepy, like a child molester used to look before the Democrats tried to turn him into the new Peoples Hero for not being conventionally sexual. Don't those freaks, both the democrats and the perverts, just make your skin crawl? Do YOU want to be like a child molester? Chester The Molester. That is what you get if you don't prep.

*

You need a LITTLE money. Everyone needs a rainy day fund. But you don't need all that much if you are living frugally. The rest, spent on preps, is true life insurance. If this economic collapse news turns out to be the next Y2K, who cares? You have preps, now, cheaper than they will be. Or, your kids will eventually have them. Again, who cares? Everyone wastes their money. Do you want to waste it on consumer things or assets stackable things? Either way, it is GONE. Don't be afraid of panicking and over stocking. As long as you burn no bridges. Divorcing the whore? Not a bridge. You can get another one.

*

And guess what? A LOT of other ones actually like you not being a doormat. Quitting your great job? Not a bridge. Unless you love it, or cannot find another one. Nuking your credit score from orbit, so it never lives again? Definitely NOT a bridge. One of the smartest things you can do, living on cash instead of credit. And you'll save even MORE money as you avoid apartments that require a credit score. Trailer park, or rent a room. Cheaper, by far. Blowing through ALL your savings for AR's and Russian ammo? Yeah, that might be a bridge. Don't burn that one.

*

This is easy, common sense stuff, folks. Panic early, avoid the rush, but do it responsibly. And for humps sake, do NOT regret panicking early and often. It is your Lizard Brain working for you ( that monkey mind can work against you, in this day and age ).
