The guide during a crisis

[Furball808]

Some of you here might have never actually lived through a crisis. Fact is that it has happened before and it will continue to happen in the future. What to actually do during a crisis even if you’re not directly involved in the region where the crisis is happening?

1. Start eating at home. Yes, ingredients are expensive. Gas is expensive. Everything is expensive to cook but so is ordering out. For the meantime, it’s okay to maybe pause your dinner plans and just eat at home.

2. Active commuting. Transportation expenses are through the roof. If you can, just walk to your destination. Not only does it save you money, it also saves your life by being healthy.

3. Ensure emergency fund is secured. We don’t know what will happen or how long this crisis will last. Make sure you have enough money to survive even without an income for at least 3 months.

What kind of crisis are you referring to? Is it a crisis that involves physical violence or an economic crisis?

Because your "what to do" kind of focuses on economic crisis.

1. Start eating at home. Yes, ingredients are expensive. Gas is expensive. Everything is expensive to cook but so is ordering out. For the meantime, it’s okay to maybe pause your dinner plans and just eat at home.

2. Active commuting. Transportation expenses are through the roof. If you can, just walk to your destination. Not only does it save you money, it also saves your life by being healthy.

Before a severe economic crisis hits attempt to make certain you live in an area which is not dependent on the global supply chain for basic survival. If trucks and trains stop running are your local stores going to quickly run out of food? For many of us in the "developed" world the answer is "Yes!" Note: Many people, including me, are not currently able to relocate. If you can, do it soon. There are several good youtube videos to help you find a location.

The economic crisis in the last few months has been felt in my country, the government has made regulations and steps to reduce and limit activities in government.

Where my country's government has started treating Work From Home (WFH), this applies from the center to the regions, meaning that every government employee must work from home from April 1 2026 until an uncertain time, this is all being done to save from the turmoil of the crisis. currently felt globally.

The government says this method can save up to 50% of the current expenses and operational costs of government employees. Therefore, whatever happens, it seems like the global economy is currently not in good condition, so consider something that might be able to withstand the crisis. what's happening right now.

That's good, but what do you think what are the expected ways to earn money online are, and if you have mentioned some such kind of source that can help many to start earning online while staying at home, then the value of this topic has been more in my point of view because of the useful information. And if it is like that, everybody should look for it at their own end, then no doubt many already are doing this to fight against the increasing rate of inflation.

I know that your suggestions are good, but they will not help many without showing them the direction. What do you think about that? Well, this is my point of view on this. Other than this, you may know better, like how you will manage this thread in the coming days.

Bike and walking really saves but with what I can see now, owning an EV is also an advantage. There's a conspiracy that this war is also promoting that, due to the oil crisis, they want to surge the EV sales and that's why a lot of working people started to own it. Getting some stocks also of foods and groceries are very essential in surviving in this crisis. And the usual ones, never spend on something that's unimportant, just only spend on the things that you need and with the necessities.

Thank you for the advice. We have to adopt different means to cut expenses since salary has not increased and prices are going up. Instead of spending money on ordering food, making your own food might save money.

Convoy Nuestra América sent more than 600 bicycles to Cuba to help them overcome transport problems due to shortages in fuel supply. Getting an alternative source of movement is not a bad idea. Alternative sources of power, like solar is also important because there might be blackouts in some countries.

[bhadz]

I saw that there's a panic buying of solar energy panels and generators. I've checked in online shopping websites in our country and most of these products were sold out. So, if there is a budget that's enough to purchase a generator that you can also charge so if rotational black outs happen, you'll have that power to turn on while waiting for the rotation to end. So, the meals and energy sources are important specifically for those who are working remotely. Because that's going to be a big problem when these blackouts come due to energy saving that shall be implemented by the energy companies and these remote workers are not prepared.

For a lot of individuals, a crisis is just another day. The price of the ingredients is too expensive, transportation expenses eat into revenues, and there are no savings to fall back on. The kinds of things that have quietly changed the way they live. Before anyone said it was a crisis.

And I'm not saying that to be rude or to avoid the good advise. I bring this up because I think that crisis language implies that there is a "normal" that we are going away from and will eventually return to. And for some others, that normal never happened. It all starts with the crisis. Has been for a time.

I constantly thinking about community, when things go wrong, people either come together or show that they don't care about each other. There are limits to the individual survival methods, the emergency reserves, and the changes to the diet. Being alone makes it much tougher to do anything at some point.

[Fortify]

None of these things should be reserved for a crisis, it should all be done in preparation long before a crisis and where you have the ability. There will be many places, especially in America, where you don't have the choice but to commute to work or it is far too long to travel via other means. Eating at home should really be a regular occurrence anyway and it should be a treat to eat out, I don't know any culture that eats out that often but maybe I'm uninformed. The world goes through cycles of boom and bust, which always tend to come in a new form. However the real winners will be those with some reserve funds who are ready and unafraid to pounce on investment opportunities that happen in the middle of corrections or recessions - try to be ready for those moments as they can often be short lived but give you big gains.

Apart from the guide you provided, utilizing renewable energy is also good. Solar power and hydropower are two of the things that, during times of an oil crisis, electricity costs will go up, and worse, there will be scheduled brownout, if you utilize solar and hydro power, not only can you save money, but you'll also have electricity 24/7.
Installing solar power is not cheap, but it's a big investment and savings.

3. Ensure emergency fund is secured. We don’t know what will happen or how long this crisis will last. Make sure you have enough money to survive even without an income for at least 3 months.

I want to believe that the type of crisis that you are referring to here is economic crisis.
In an economic crisis, you will have to start living off of the land if that is possible. Grow as much as you can, rear birds and keep livestocks to live of off. That is one of the best guides to survival during an economic crisis. I know some folks may not be able to do that, however, they can stock up their house with supplies that can last them for months without needing to run to the stall. I think it is called bulking shopping. Helps a lot. Also, downsize what is not an essential thing. You can get a bicycle and ride to the office if it is close enough. There are so many alternative and guides during an economic crisis.

1. Start eating at home. Yes, ingredients are expensive. Gas is expensive. Everything is expensive to cook but so is ordering out. For the meantime, it’s okay to maybe pause your dinner plans and just eat at home.

During crisis nobody thinks about going to fancy restaurants to eat because things will be so expensive and people will have the fear of coming out to eat outside because they do not know when the crisis will get to that place. If there is war for example there will be hunger
nobody will go to an open place to eat instead they will go to a hidden place where they can't be located and killed, things will be expensive but cooking where you find yourself will cheaper and you can't compare it to what you will pay in a restaurant but the getting the ingredients is usually difficult.

[stompix]

You have no idea what living during a crisis means
- you dine at home because every restaurant has already been shut down except for soup kitchens
- you comute with a baseball bat because you will be robbed at least once a month
- there is no safe fund because that's what crises are, nobody has moeny anymore

God for 99% of this generation, a crisis means the mall will shut down.
Commuting to work? What work in the first place!!!!

1. Start eating at home. Yes, ingredients are expensive. Gas is expensive. Everything is expensive to cook but so is ordering out. For the meantime, it’s okay to maybe pause your dinner plans and just eat at home.

Ehmm; by crisis, I want you to be specific because of that eating in you said. Like are there people that eat out during a war? How do sit in Mcdonald with peace of mind? That's too stretch, who sit in a restaurant waiting for food to be serve during war? What kind of money are you looking for or rather should I say "are you that lazy to slice some onions?" Common. Only cats have 9 lives, humans have just one.

2. Active commuting. Transportation expenses are through the roof. If you can, just walk to your destination. Not only does it save you money, it also saves your life by being healthy.

Sometimes communication are halt during crisis to avoid spread of misinformation over the internet. I feel bad right now for some brothers in Iran, they have shut down the internet, it's difficult to reach many of them now, I hope they are doing fine anywhere they are right now.

3. Ensure emergency fund is secured. We don’t know what will happen or how long this crisis will last. Make sure you have enough money to survive even without an income for at least 3 months.

This is very important but I don't think anyone prepared for war, I will still use Iran as example; I don't think the world was even prepared to attack Iran, now we are all **ck with the middle east crisis, can't even drive around like before because of this fuel prices, I'm not if the energy sectors were prepared for this crisis.

The list treats on economic and physical crisis  but emphasis is burdened on the economic since we can not have people commuting to save transportation fare in a physical crisis zone you will not think twice about the cost of entering the next available vehicle to flew the scene.

Making for emergency funds and cultivating the eat at home habitat are both economical and physically factored.

If you mean economic crisis, then I think this is not the first time we have experienced this. But I have to admit, this is even worst than the time of pandemic.

I remember, we often received financial aid or assistance during pandemic, but this time even my own country is deeply struggling and those funds which are allocated in times like this have vanished like thin air due to high corruption.

So your tips or suggestions will greatly help. In fact, we should have been doing this before this crisis arise, so that we can protect our own funds and not to struggle especially with high inflation around.

[abhiseshakana]

Not all but many moslem people has prepared for crisis, becuase what moslem belief today, the world almost entering the end of time, characterized by rampant crime everywhere, drought and dead plants, for 3 years it didn't rain and the plants didn't grow at all. With this information, i will start with save as much water as possible, preserve and maintain the wells. For all living things water is crucials. Assuming conventional farming is fail, we need to find alternative to store long lasting food sucah as rice, dried corn, and canned food. We can try farming using closed hydroponic or aquaponic an find other alternative protein such as mushroom. And i don't know whether i can prepare or not are energy alternative because without rain may cuase electricity problem. The important thing we need to prepare our adaptable skill so we ready to face crisis.

Eating from home saves cost a lot, it's really the best you could do for yourself and family if you can, and also, home cook meals tastes more better and healthy. I have experience the benefits of making meals at home than getting off restaurant many times.

It's fucking different and energy given-

If you live in a rich country, probably you will never experience deep crisis. The state / government will protect its people. Your guide will actually help though.
