			If you work hard and get prepared, you 
			can survive the 
			
			economic nightmare that is coming.  
			
			  
			
			All over the 
			United States and around the world there are millions of people that 
			are learning how to become more self-sufficient. For example, there 
			is one family that is actually producing 6000 pounds of produce on 
			just 1/10th of an acre right in the middle of Pasadena, California. 
			 
			
			  
			
			In fact, they grow so much food that they are able to sell much of 
			it to restaurants in the area.  
			
			  
			
			Video of this incredible "urban 
			homestead" is posted below.  
			
			  
			
			
			  
			
			  
			
			The key is to start with what you have. 
			 
			
			  
			
			The family in the video below would like to have a large acreage, 
			but for now they have turned what they do have into an absolute 
			miracle. Yes, a horrific economic nightmare is coming to this 
			country, but you don't have to be afraid. One of the main reasons 
			why so many of us are trying to warn people about what is coming is 
			so that they will wake up and take massive action to become 
			self-sufficient like the people in the video below have. 
			 
			If you are not already growing your own food, now is a great time to 
			get started. According to The Food and Agriculture Organization of 
			the 
			United Nations, the global price of food
			
			rose 2.2% during the 
			month of February to a new all-time record high.  
			
			  
			
			In fact, this was 
			the third month in a row that the global price of food has set a new 
			record. 
			
				
					- 
					
					2.2% may not sound like a lot, but if the global price of food were 
			to increase by that amount every single month during 2011 by the end 
			of the year the global price of food will have gone up by 26.4%.   
					 
					- 
					
					26.4% food inflation is something that is very, very serious - 
			especially in those areas of the world where millions are already 
			teetering on the brink of starvation.  
				 
			 
			
			As I have written about previously, the world is on the verge of 
			
			a 
			major food crisis.  
			
			  
			
			The price of corn has increased by 33 percent 
			just since December, and according to the U.S. Department of 
			Agriculture, U.S. corn reserves will drop to a 15 year low by the 
			end of 2011. Many other agricultural commodities are also in short 
			supply and are experiencing significant increases in price. 
			 
			So now is a great time to try to become more self-sufficient. 
			 
			After all, do you really want to eat the garbage they sell you in 
			the stores anyway? Today, virtually all corn and virtually all soy 
			has been genetically-modified, and more "frankenfoods" are being 
			approved by the government all the time. 
			 
			But it isn't just 
			genetic modification that we need to be concerned 
			about.  
			
			  
			
			The reality of the situation is that most of the food that we 
			buy is complete and total garbage. The next time you go to the 
			grocery store just take a few moments and read some of the labels of 
			the products that you are buying. The truth is that our foods are 
			absolutely loaded with chemicals, poisons and toxins. 
			 
			Those that learn to grow their own food will end up a lot more 
			healthy in the long run. 
			 
			But food is not the only area where we should be striving for 
			self-sufficiency. 
			Water is being called "the oil of the 21st 
			century" and already some very significant shortages are being 
			reported in many areas of the United States. 
			 
			In fact, some cities have already started to turn toilet water into 
			tap water. Fortunately this is not a widespread thing in the United 
			States yet, but a number of localities are now seriously considering 
			going to such a system. 
			 
			Would you want to drink your own recycled toilet water in the 
			future?
			If not, perhaps now would be a great time to learn how to become 
			more self-sufficient when it comes to water. 
			 
			Even now, most localities are dumping massive amounts of 
			
			fluoride 
			and other toxic chemicals into our drinking water. The tap water in 
			most cities is so absolutely disgusting that it is a wonder that 
			anyone is still willing to drink it. 
			 
			In any event, the key is not to focus on the problems once you 
			realize the truth. Instead, the key is to focus on the solutions.
			That is what one family in Pasadena, California is doing.  
			
			  
			
			As 
			mentioned above, they are producing a whopping 6,000 pounds of 
			produce each year on just 1/10th of an acre.... 
			
			  
			
			  
	
			
			  
			
			 
			Isn't what that family is doing absolutely amazing?
			Well, you can do it too. 
			 
			For most Americans, the coming financial apocalypse is going to 
			absolutely blindside them.
			But that does not have to happen to you. You know what is coming. 
			You have time to get prepared. 
			 
			As I have written about previously, there are many other ways that 
			you can start becoming more self-sufficient. 
			
				
					- 
					
					If you are currently dependent on a job, you can start developing 
			alternate sources of income on the side.  
					- 
					
					If you are enslaved to the banks, you can reduce your expenses and 
			start paying down debt.  
					- 
					
					If you have never had any self-defense training, now is a great time 
			to get started.  
				 
			 
			
			There are hundreds of practical ways that you can begin preparing 
			for the coming economic nightmare right now.  
			
			  
			
			Just putting up some 
			solar panels or starting a "victory garden" would be a great first 
			step for many people.
			The key is to stop fretting about things so much and to start taking 
			action. 
			 
			We have now entered a time in human history that is going to be 
			extremely unstable, but that doesn't mean that we have to live in 
			fear.
			If you are new to all this and have no idea how to start becoming 
			more self-sufficient, there are a lot of great websites out there 
			that can help you out.  
			
			  
			
			Some of the most popular ones are, 
			
				
			 
			
			But it doesn't have to be complicated.  
			
			  
			
			Just start to take action. 
			Your family is going to need food, water, energy and shelter when 
			the economy collapses.  
			
			  
			
			Begin preparing now so that you will have 
			those things when you need them.
