The Holistic Survival Podcast is evolving in response to what we see as a society going through extremely “uncertain” times. Uncertain is putting it mildly. We stand here in the early years of the 21st century and watch our politicians stupidly put into motion the very same economic strategies that are in the process of [...]

Holistic Survival, we spend a lot of time educating you about emergency preparedness and the many forms that it might take – terrorist, biological, nuclear, or chemical attack are but a few of many dangers threatening the safety of your family. But what might be all our eventual undoing is a little thing called inflation. [...]

Whether the coming economic collapse is simply a re-creation of the Great Depression or turns into an all out “blood in the streets” sort of affair, there are mitigating steps to take. First, let’s hope the streets don’t run red. If they do, your best bet is a few guns and lots of ammunition. For [...]

Maybe you count yourself among the millions of hard-working Americans who have had their 401k or other nest egg accounts dog-slapped by the economy of the last two years. We’re not here to tell you it’s been a fun ride but maybe there’s something more important – cash flow!
Now is the time to hang like [...]

The first step toward successful investing in uncertain times is to preserve as much of your income as humanly possible. We’re talking about taxes. Love ‘em, hate ‘em, or even believe they’re unconstitutional – doesn’t matter – you’ll get in a lot of trouble if you don’t pay them. Even worse, your government taxes are [...]

Now, more than ever, it’s critical that you not make – err, how shall we put this delicately – STUPID financial decisions. Before you can even conceive of a plan to invest in a manner appropriate to these entropic times, you’ve got to at least be starting out in a good position.
So, from your good [...]

It’s one thing if you’re a young whippersnapper in your twenties when the Wall Street crooks came pillaging in the night for your money. Sucks to be you but chalk it up to a life lesson learned. You’ve got time to recover. We’re talking about an entirely different scenario if you’re getting on in years [...]

Old time investors used to say that the best thing to do during lean times was buy raw land and just hang onto it. Can’t burn down. Can’t be stolen. Don’t even need insurance on it. Just hang on and wait for it to increase in value.
While that’s a much better idea than playing Wall [...]

The following Economic Survival tips were posted by Donald Trump at www.TrumpUniversity.com. Since they reflect much of what Jason talks about at Platinum Properties Investor Network and Holistic Survival, we thought it would be worth a look for our audience.
Here’s Mr. Trump’s list:

• Pay attention to national and international news and finance coverage at least several [...]

Most of us have an inkling that we may not be getting the best bang for our buck when it comes to the choices we make in spending that ever-dwindling paycheck. But an inkling is about as far as it ever goes. Ever stop to really think about how much money could be saved by [...]

We at HolisticSurvival.com believe that when it comes to protecting your profits in the future, the 800 pound gorilla sitting in the corner will be inflation. There may be in a slight lull right now but, don’t worry, it’s coming back with a vengeance.
Let’s have a quick lesson in how inflation can erode the value [...]

When recessions rear their ugly heads and economies struggle, people tend to run for the perceived “safety” of gold or silver. While precious metals are indeed miles ahead of investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, there is another option that will not only protect your assets during inflationary times but actually increase your wealth [...]

Rather than to complicate matters, emergencies, disasters, and uncertain times tend to make things very simple. Superfluous trappings fall aside and what remains is what we need to survive. Three basic needs that always remain unchanged are:
1. Food
2. Shelter
3. A place to sleep
Recognizing these needs could be the key to creating and preserving your wealth in the future. [...]

If you’re talking about the United States government when you ask that question, the answer is probably no. Politicians and bureaucrats would have us believe that FDIC protection gives us ironclad access to the money we store in banks, no matter what, up to $250,000. Is this an adequate form of asset protection?
Absolutely not! Are [...]
