Usually I prefer to focus on How to’s. As Paul Wheaton puts it “Building bricks”. Today though I just want to share some news. I am in no way a news junkie. In fact I’m terrible about keeping up with news, but I can’t ignore certain news. From what I’m seeing my gut feeling is that this coming year (2013) is going to be a rough year for the economy. I’ll share why I’m thinking this and urge you to make (common sense) preps a priority for a few months at least.
