You Are 40% Likely to Survive Another Great Depression

Your habits are pretty on par with the average person.
Unfortunately, this means your chances aren't good in another Great Depression.
Start saving your money now. Living in debt isn't doing you any favors.
Also figure out how to live a little more cheaply. Every little bit you can trim will help.

So, class, what have we learned?
Keep a good cash reserve -- 6 months to 1 year.
NEVER pile up Credit Card Debt -- it is the dance of the Devil himself.
ALWAYS pay cash. If you need it, save up for it. If you can't save up for it, you don't need it. (truth in advertising: I have a 8 YO "flat screen" -- NOT HD -- TV that seems to do the job well enough for me. I have a 15 YO surround sound system that still provides surround sound and plays DVDs with great fidelity.)
The only "valid" debt is car payments (on a car payment that is < 15% of your gross) or a Mortgage < 35% of your gross. But not both.

We live very modestly. But we still give more to charity than Biden. :tongue:

As do we. There are some charities that we feel very passionately about:
* St. Jude's hospital -- this one is truly for the children
* Midnight Mission -- give a man a shave, a meal, a suit and a job and he can reclaim his dignity and become a productive member of society
* CCF -- sponsoring a child who didn't ask to be brought into bad circumstances (we sponsor 2)
* ASPCA -- this isn't PETA, this is pets who can't protect themselves
We give to others as well, and situational charities as the need arises.
This is why I get so pissed at the libtards who DARE to suggest I am "greedy" and "selfish" because I want to decide how to use the money I earned.
Oh, this is a commercial for my charities I listed above :)

God love you Free.... who on earth would ever think you were an arsehole?
Socialism, like the ancient ideas from which it springs, confuses the distinction between government and society. As a result of this, every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists conclude that we object to its being done at all. ~ Frederic Bastiat, The Law
I need to read The Law one of these days. Actually I have a few books on my bookshelf....

I saw that on one of your screencaps -- GREAT quote and one that should be front and center.
And I wear my assholeosity as the badge it is meant to be. :) I would have been pissed had I NOT been listed.

:-) I got some points for the guns in the house---and all the ammo. I probably lost points when I said that I drive everywhere. There's no public transportation near the house.

You have been saving for a rainy day... or a rainy few years.
While most people may not have as grim of an outlook as you, they're also not as prepared as you.
If society collapses, you'll have plenty of food and resources for you and your loved ones.
And plenty of ammo for anyone who wants to steal from your stockpile

Regardless of the test (69% for me), we'll do fine. There's always a need for law enforcement when the economy tanks, even if tax revenues are down and they have to make pay cuts. Mrs. Tantal is a RN. They can't get by without her either. My truck's paid-for. Mrs. Tantal's vehicle is about 18 months from being paid-for, and we only owe another 3 years on the house. By 2012, we'll be sitting completely debt-free, so all we'll have to pay for are taxes, utilities, and food.

Poor health must have knocked me down a good bit....and there was no place to answer, "I own 2 homes, outright". ......still healthy enough to pull the trigger tho.

37% seems kind of high, considering my debt load. I am employed and I do bike to work. It doesn't seem that those should be that positive though.

I don't see why they place so much emphasis on having savings. I get a retirement & a disability check for the rest of my life. Of course, if the .gov has no money, it might become a problem.

If you've got a good amount of savings, after the gub'mint has thoroughly trashed the value of the dollar, you can use it as chaffe to distract the mobs with, while you re-load to protect what you really have left to survive on.

I call bullshit! The one thing they don't ask is if you are readily able and have a place to HUNT!
You can get many things out of the woods! Not just game but everything from medicinal to vegetable, including heat. That in itself would put me at 90%!
Actually, I would like nothing better than to have to go out into the woods every day for my existence. :-)

It's a good way to cull the weak ones out of the friggin' herd, that's for sure.
The healthy can acquire and survive on portions of venison (or turkey, duck, goose, pheasant, grouse etc...) - with or without gub'mint approval - while the weak are incompetently trying to catch rats and eating meager portions or sawdust bread in the cities.
Ain't much I can appreciate about Darwin, but that whole "survival of the fittest" thing is something to behold sometimes.

Personally, I think we're a little overdue for a little Social Darwinism. I think it's time that the weak ones, DUmmies, were culled from the herd. They're just dragging the rest of us down with them. Fortunately, I don't associate with DUmmies, so I won't have any showing up at my place with their hands out if things go bad. Those that do will be strangers, so they'll be shot as potential looters.

Yup. Nothing like a load of 00 buck to the face in the morning.
Or a .45ACP JHP that could ruin one's day. Between my girlfriend & I, we got it licked. She's way into natural remedies and knows what stuff from the woods/ nature are good. Me, I'm a good shot. We both can cook, from scratch. We don't have a bunch of libtards that we hang with, either, so, if someone's (a stranger) coming up to the door, they'll be staring down the barrel of a gun until their motives are ascertained.

My cost of living is very low, I don't have a huge house or anything, but what I have is perfect for one or two people.

That's where I came in as well. The fact that there isn't exactly urban light rail transit available from my home to my workplace probably pulled it down a bit, where I live driving yourself to work is the one and only option.
