SHTF Predictions

[Tibbs735]

I have recently been feeling very concerned that the date of the "Big One," , the "Aha, I was right all along" moment, whatever that may be, is approaching. With all the contributing factors like the Euro, oil, sun cycles, growing social discord, climate change, Olympics etc, It seems that it could happen fairly soon.

I was wondering if anyone had any predictions on how much time we have left? I am worried that by the time I am economically independent and squared away it will be too late.
My parents do not care for any of this. They can see the sense in stored food, but fail to see any need for urgency. My younger brother is totally on board, but that is not very much help.

In the mean time I will be doing the best I can to learn important skills etc.
