I was think about storing emergency supplies for 2 people.

How affordable is it to store enough food and water for myself and my wife.

A few years ago hurricane Sandy hit New Jersey hard and the shelfs were bare.

Pandemic came and lots of shortages.

So could I reasonable store 30 days of food and water for my wife and I.

How much space?
How much food ?
 how much water?

propane?

I am a diabetic so I use high protein and fat low carb diet.

30 days means
30 cans of chicken
10 cans of tomatoes
10 cans of chickpeas
10 cans of cannaelli beans

10 pounds of roasted peanuts
 5 pounds of walnuts
5 pounds of almonds

a bottle of multi vitamins

and 100 ½ liter bottles of water
a dozen cans of peaches
a dozen cans of pears
some parmalot as it keeps
some cereal

The above should do the trick for my wife and I. For maybe 45 days.

I can afford to have the above list I am thinking a lot of people can’t.

So how exposed are people to a solid disaster.




No fresh meat
No dairy since refrigerated goods may be gone.


I would think most of the world is a short time away from real food issues if food shopping is shut down.

your thoughts and ideas are welcome.

Sometimes I find myself being added to Telegram groups where they are doing bounty campaigns for new coins but at the end of the day, people will start complaining that the project is dead. In most cases I exited from the groups immediately I find myself there because I feel they are prone to defrauding people.
This makes me to wonder if bounties really pay.

A friend suggested Bitcoin to me about 1 year ago. I have been trying to learn the history of Bitcoin ever since. How to earn from Bitcoin, I learned that investing will make profit or loss. Success can never be achieved without risk. Then I became interested in investing in Bitcoin. My family is a very poor family. I am studying now and earning BDT 7000 per month from tuition, BDT 3000 I spend on running my household. BDT 3000 is my monthly expenses and I save BDT 1000, I save around BDT 10000 in a year and invest in Bitcoin. I will hold the investment for a long time. According to many researchers, we will soon see a bull market. Bitcoin will be over $100K in 2025

But the main thing is that bitcoin is still illegal in our country, I invested bitcoin very carefully.

Lately I think it is better to invest in bitcoins than depositing money in the bank. Day by day people have lost trust in banks. It is heard that many banks are going bankrupt and closing down.

I have been thinking about trading in Bitcoin for quite some time now. I have been involved with Bitcoin for a long time but am still thinking about investing here. I used to run DPS in bank for 30 dollars per month for 5 years, this DPS will complete 5 years this month. I'll get roughly $1800, I don't think it's much of a savings to keep that money in the bank. Bangladesh is suffering from severe dollar crisis due to which many banks are likely to go bankrupt. The names of those banks have not yet been published by any mass media. Because of the economic condition of Bangladesh, I want to invest my money in Bitcoin. I still don't understand if my decision is right, please let me know your opinion

We all have different occupations and work for different companies. We work hard and keep improving ourselves to show our company owner how good we are at our work and how efficient we can be in growing the company. But all we are doing is helping grow someone else's companies. All our talent and struggle is to help someone else earn more money. What are we doing for ourselves? At some point in our life, we must grow our own businesses for our own safety.

The title "Do your work" refers to growing your own business. We all have some skills in different sectors and we use all of our energy to work for a company and get a monthly salary. But we are not supposed to work for that company till death. so how will we bear our living expenses after retirement? Most people do not think about that.

You can say yes they do. They do monthly savings for their retirement plan.

But this is not savings or investment. Your fiat currencies lose value every year. So Your 30 years of saving will be the same in numbers but not in values.

So what can we do then? We have so little to grow a business.

Invest your saving in precious metals like gold and silver or digital assets like bitcoin, or it can in some potential stock or it can be in real estate. Invest your money where ever you want. Just do not keep it in a bank. The Bank interest rate is not higher than the inflation. You are losing money not gaining it. The point is to invest even if your saving is negligible.

The article above shows a video about a pizza delivery that was carried out by Dominos using a jet pack. that's why I was inspired to make this topic

do you all agree that with the emergence of fast transportation now, the economic turnover is also getting faster, this is based on the fact that any delivery will be distributed quickly, automatically it will make the price of living necessities and kind remains stable as long as it can be distributed quickly!

I attended a business seminar where a facilitator a renowned professor, and Entrepreneur shared a story on how he missed out on investing in a small fintech start two years ago which as at today is worth $500 million. He said the team had approached him to make an a investment in the start but because he did not understand how the were going to make money since he didn't invest the $100k he wanted to write them. Today, he would have been $7.5million richer had he invested.
 
They say do not invest in what you do not understand which was largely the principle the speaker adhered to but what if despite not immediately understanding the business model and its profit making model yet your business instinct pushing you to invest. What should you do? Listen to the former or follow your instincts?

As humans, we tend to have a need for immediate satisfaction. These needs keep increasing on dialy basis, if one decide to go by all these needs, one may end up without a saving. Most time we are faced with a decision like whether to spend our money on our daily needs or to save them. Here, we may likely to be biased toward our present selves, so we're likely to make the choice that will benefit us most at that moment which mostly will be buying our daily needs. However, we can overcome present bias by taking away the ability to choose between saving and spending altogether. This is where automating your savings comes in.

What do I mean by automatic saving? Automatic savings is a type of personal savings system in which the plan contributor automatically deposits a fixed amount of funds at specified intervals into their account. The typical structure of this type is an automatic transfer from an individual's bank account into a savings or investment account.

When you automate, you eliminate a decision – to save or not to save. Once you decide to set up auto-save and go through the initial process, that’s all. You keep saving at interval without a need to make a decision on either to save or not. With this one savings keep accumulating with time till one have a reasonable amount.

With automatic savings, ones monthly salary becomes: Salary- Automatic savings amount. With this, one will only calculate is daily needs on the remaining amount rather than calculating on all it's salary.

CONCLUSION
Saving money isn't something easy, it comes with determination and self-discipline but with automatic saving one can easily set his/her saving amount at interval.

I mentioned somewhere that my closest friend has been unemployed for over a year due to the devastating collapse of his line of business and and his wife's sickness. Last time we met was a month ago and he was depressed in certain ways which worried me a lot. I called him to see if he was fine last Sunday and he told me he was looking for jobs and the next day he would go to several interviews. I was glad to hear that. Last night I called to follow up and he said the interviews were not going well. I aksed why. He told me that nowadays most companies are not doing well, barely making even actually. The interviewers would just say the job is not entitled to any insurance or benefits, what they can offer is a very low base salary and the commission part would be subject to how many sales the employee can bring to their company. My friend was not willing to take any of them because he has a family to feed and his wife's condition is unstable which could need a lot of money for surgery at any time. I understand him and am trying my best to help him find a high-pay job.

My friend's story sends me a signal: no matter how much I earn right now, try to keep my job and souce of income stable. I am also a family man and have responsibilities. Anything bad can also happen to me so I have to be prepared to the unforseen problems, although I am doing fine now. Make hay while the sun shines. If you have any advice for my friend, please let me know. Thank you.

While growing up things were quite easy, an I also know that life was also easy for the common man, not until 2018 that things start changing for the worst, from then till now the rate at which inflation have struck my country to an all time high is so alarming.
  Everyday price of things keeps on changing but the salaries of a civil servants still remain the same, the money that we use too feed from, buy water, pay rent, pay for light an even save from, now it can't even service our monthly needs for even half of the month.
 Most times I feel for people that have many children because too get basic needs in today's economy is very difficult,
  the annoying part is that the government an it agencies are doing nothing or less about the cost control of goods and services in the state.
An this has created a torn in the lives of many as situations keeps on getting worse by the day.
Am wondering if it's same experience in other part of the world.

In what ways have the people living in poverty impacted in the economy?
Share your ideas on the importance of the poor masses in economy sustainability.

Now you have $100,000 in your account, pure savings, and you don't need this amount of money to cover your daily expenses. Obviously it's good/free money to use at will. Let's say if you deposit the money into a bank and the annual interst rate is 3%, you will get a steady interest income year by year. If you use this money to buy Bitcoin, let's say the BTC drops to $17,000, you'll buy less than 6 Bitcoins. In the long run, what would you do with this money ? And why ?
