overspend!!!!!

[Mortblanc]

It is not unusual since when one starts up they seem to need everything and should have had it yesterday.

The real skill is to keep from overspending on junk that serves little to no purpose.

If your spending was on reserve food supply, emergency heat and light, and a few security upgrades your conscience should be undisturbed.

If it was on backpacks, bashas, trick torches, survival knives and titanium billy pots you might consider toning things down a bit.

I consider my most important prep my emergency money stash, or as my son calls it, "Get out of Dodge money". One can avoid a lot of misery just by having enough money on had to get out of town right now. Not tomorrow after the bank opens, not after a stop at the ATM, not after going by a friend's house.

Some might say "you can't eat money".

That might have a germ of truth, but when was the last time coin of the realm was of no use in GB?

I think it was some time back before they put up Hadrian's Wall.
