The Original Budget Prepper: The main purpose of this blog is to share information about how to prepare for events beyond our control; events such as unemployment, financial hardship, natural or man-made disasters, and any else life might throw our way. According to several sources online, a prepper is someone that prepares or makes preparations in advance of, or prior to, any change in normal circumstances. That about sums it up for me. Some people lump preppers in with hard-core survivalists, and in some cases, that may be true. As for me, I just want to make sure that I can take care of my family if a "change in normal circumstances" occurs. I first began thinking about all of this a few years ago when the economy started to take a nose dive. I began to wonder how long I would be able to take care of my family if I lost my job. We also had a series of natural disasters that left people without electricity and water for several days. As a father and husband, taking care of my family is my sacred duty and first priority. In this blog, I'll share what I already know about prepping and any new information that I discover. I hope you find this information useful.
