I'm betting on a number of things, KJ. Most of you have no Plan B. I have Plan A,B,C,D..... I'm even planning on BAU for a while,, or not. That said, all of my plans involve avoiding the numerous traps that our society has set for you. Debt? fugetaboutit. A lot of my wealth in equities and paper assets? Nope. New vehicles? None that I can't charge using my home energy system. Expensive vacations? Not when I can put that time and energy into plans B,C,and D. Chances are I've been there, done that, anyway. Utter dependency on top-down hyper-complex systems? Not when that can be avoided. Making long-term financial commitments? See 'debt', above.
