SO WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT ?

[Steve]

Big lifestyle change for me. As soon as I realised ( 2005 ) that the UK was living beyond its means I started to think about how to insulate myself from the crash. In 2006 I bought my woodland, to get rid of spare cash and own something more tangible. The value of the woodland rocketed after the 2008 crash as everyone had the same idea, so I was able to sell it in 2011 and buy my smallholding.

SHTF or not, I'm enjoying life more now, so it's worked out great so far.
