Its true. We better be prepared for something. Job loss, disability, disaster, what ever! Its going to hit most people at some point in time.

I know that most young mothers don’t like to hear this, but how many of them have a year’s supply of disposable diapers? How much room would that take to store. If things get really tight, can you even take care of the most basic needs of your child? I would think it would be prudent to have four dozen cloth diapers and diaper pins and plastic pants for each size a baby would be in order to be truly prepared. Cloth diapers would be easy to store and they wouldn’t keep you from still using your disposable diapers. Also, if transportation came to a halt, or even a major slowdown, wouldn’t it be comforting to know that you could still diaper your child?

I love opening the cabinet and seeing my food storage. It is such a great feeling. I don’t have all the stocks and stuff Suze talks about but I know we need to eat. Several people commented on the Oprah blog that they needed more practical advice. I agree. You go girl!

Either one would be great. We should start an email campaign to both.

I think Oprah is a great idea. Rachel may be better she seems more ready to tell us what we can do for ourselves and not just scaring us. I’m forming my group.

I saw that same Oprah and was terrified. I feel like we are fairly secure in our current financial situation, but it had me feeling very frightened for the future. I think that she should follow up by telling viewers things that they can do NOW to improve their situation–much like you are doing here. I think that I will write to her and suggest that she do that. Are you ready to do TV appearances?

Thank you for this post. I appreciate your encouraging words. I too have been watching much on the news this past week and have felt a bit hopeless. I think I will get on the phone with some friends tonight. I am anxious to hear what you have in store for us!
