A Rogan man don’t need him around anyhow.Not to rain on the parade, but the Virology Journal is published by BioMed Central, which is a British entity, not associated with the NIH. The article is great, though.
This post seems odd for TAE. When I first came here, I scoured all of the archives reading up on the coming storm. I was most impressed with the idea of building a “lifeboat” to prepare for the coming deflation and social unrest. As a result, I began a serious effort to eliminate debt from my life. I stopped contributing to my 401(k) at work and used the money saved to purchase 30 acres of property in the forest. I plan to build a 12 x 12 cabin on that property as a safe house for when the SHTF. I took the bulk of my 401(k) out of stocks about 6 months ago, thinking we were about to crash. I feel much like Hugh, in that I’ve missed a chance to come closer to paying all my debt.
I have a goal to reach a “crossover” point. That is the point at which my retirement savings are greater than my remaining debt. I’m about $95,000 short. So if the SHTF now, I’ll simply have to default on my home mortgage and use my 401(k) to finish the cabin in the woods and live off of what I have saved (if I can get to it).
One comment I recall vividly from Nicole was that she wasn’t spreading her word to try and save the world, she was doing it to help us “save our asses.” I intend to save my ass and my family’s. Anyone else who can contribute labor to clearing my forest land and growing crops and raising livestock is welcome to join me, within reason. So, I figure if I’m prepared, I can at least help some others who aren’t.
