The solution to surviving economic collapse is being independent.
This does not indicate that one has to be a loner or someone who is totally cut off.
This suggests that you adjust your dependence on the systems you rely on.
For instance, if you are craving for a salad, there are fairly a small number of systems that you are depending on to stay intact to get you that salad.
You require the workers in the distant country to keep on working.
In surviving economic collapse you have to deal oil to stay intact to fuel the transport to acquire the salad to your country.
You need the regional and local economies to purchase, trade, and share out the salad to your city.
You have to store in your city to stay open so you can buy with a currency that you hope remains steady.
If any one of these systems are damage, inadequate, or cease to exist, then there will be no salad for you.
You can just cultivate your own salad.
Yes, you would have to rely on weather, but primarily good weather is quite dependable and the only system you would be depending on.
Recognize the areas of your life where you are reliant on multiple systems.
Begin with the essentials like food and water.
Then advance to things like energy needs.
Surviving economic collapse is not as hard as you might think.
Perhaps the bank has possession of most of the property you live on so getting that to become yours fully is the next goal.
As you grow to be more and more self-sufficient of the systems, your dependence on these will become more restricted.
A collapse would be hard but more controllable.
