Don't miss tonight's episode of Prepping Now!

Tonight's episode of Prepping Now on the Prepper Broadcasting Network is sure to be entertaining, thought provoking, and a learning experience! If you are new to financial issues or an old pro this episode is for you. I am so excited to have TheLordHumungus on as an expert guest. If you don't know of TheLordHumungus (aka Eric), then I urge you to check out his You Tube page. He has some great thoughts about not only financial issues, but also prepping, and urban homesteading. While I am trying to become more aware of our current economic status (and MY economic status) I am still a newbie for lack of a better term. While watching Eric's videos though, I have learned a lot and the videos have urged me to do more research. I hope they will do the same for you.

I will add another post later to add anything we mention on the show in case you want to do some research yourself but until then I am going to include some information I think will be helpful.

From: TheLordHumungus   

Fiat Money- Any currency system which only has value because the government regulates it as such. For example, if I had an town which I was the mayor of and I said "from now on, only these little squares of paper are to be used for buying or selling" that would be an example of fiat money, and in case that sounds a bit familiar, that's because it is. Both the American dollar and Euro are forms of Fiat currency.

The Federal Reserve- Just check it out here, it's such a large subject, I can't begin now, but we will tonight!
Hope to see you there,

NOTES FROM AFTER THE SHOW
The show was awesome, thanks to TheLordHumungus and those in the live chat. If you missed it, listen to a playback below. Also, I have included some of the sites that Eric gave us for increasing our financial knowledge base!


Crash Proof 2.0 by Peter Schiff -He also has a You Tube page. 


The Secret of Oz, you can find it on You Tube but I am not going to recommend any particular post due to copyright issues.

Some Exciting News!

I have some exciting news for all my readers (yes, all 5 of them, including my mother.) Prepping Now is going live! I have accepted a show on the Prepper Broadcasting Network.   It will be on at 7pm Eastern on Sundays and I encourage you to listen. Also, I would love it if I got some call ins. My show, just like my blog, is always open to those who have questions or suggestions. If you want to call in or listen live you can find the information here. There is also a great option on the show's home page which will remind you via email or text that it's almost time for the show. I am including a brief description of the show below and below that I will include a description of the first episode.

Sunday: 6:00 – 7:00pm Central – “Prepping Now”

Prepping now with prepgirl is a show about the importance of preparing now for what tomorrow might bring. We will discuss not only important prepping issues such as food storage and skill growth but also the general awareness that comes with the prepping lifestyle. Our hope is that this show will bring new people to the community but also encourage those who already faced some of the challenges of prepping to lend a hand or offer an idea to those who are just staring out.

 
My first show will be about something I like to call "Thought Product Placement" basically, the idea that "whoever is in charge" uses the media to influence people with the ideals they want them to have. An example would be that God is never mentioned in TVor movies except in a negative light. Not to downplay religion exactly, but rather to discourage the morality that comes along with it. People who don't have morals keep idolizing people like the  "Jersey Shore cast" and completely ignore when their constitutional rights are being removed. While this may be a hard hitting issue, I believe that we as preppers and those who are awake should take a stand, and discuss these issues openly and with candor.


Keep reading and start listening,
