Had a minor SHTF today. Water heater crapped out and leaked into the house. Fortunately, we have tools, shopvac and emergency funds to buy a new one without any stress. Preparedness is not just for doomsday, it is for everyday things as well.

Before I prepped for doomsday, I got out of debt and built emergency funds for everyday things like loss of income and repairs.

Congratulations! That is a BIG step, and one that so many people seem not only unable, but reluctant to take. If more people did this, we'd be much stronger as a nation!
