The Great Recession of the mid-2000s was the biggest financial collapse in America history since the Great Depression.

Friends, neighbors, and families lost their homes, their savings, their investments, and their livelihood. People lost trust in our whole financial system and were regressing to survival mode.

Guess what? I see the next financial collapse coming again soon. It may look a little different this time, but the same fundamental problems exist: a debt burden no one can pay, an aging population that’s leaving the workforce just as their healthcare costs explode, a social safety net that’s eroding, and incomes that don’t justify our spending.

They called the Great Recession of 2008 a “once in a century” disaster, but I believe that this next economic downturn will be even more disastrous than the last – a new American Great Depression.

But, here’s the good news: there’s still time to do something about it! You have an incredible opportunity to make some simple changes that will help protect your family and keep you financially safe and secure. In the Age of $elf Reliance, I give you all of the information, tools, and strategies you’ll need to survive – and even thrive – when the next economic downturn comes.

They say that knowledge is power, and with this book, you have the power of your own financial self-preservation.
