You're right. Like Craig's List, someone should start Barter List. Do this before the collapse. Establish connections. I have skills, but I'm old. The things I could teach a young person who is willing to work.
I learn something new everyday, when you stop learning, it often indicates you've given up your ghost. Learning new skills is never a waste of time. Earning an income in the process is a big win.
Being closer to home and being able to learn new skils sounds like a good trade off. The 08 crach was bad. I was working all over the country at that time and I saw many small towns just shut down and turn into modern ghost towns.
The skill of bartering often not talked about. For that you need three basic things 1) skill to trade (yes - something simple like shovelling sh!t is a skill) 2) a good reputation (people must trust you’ll follow through on your end of the deal) 3) the gumption to get out there and negotiate a deal.
Congrats and good luck in the new job. I used to “tinker” around with our lawn mower engine when I was a teen. I would consider myself proficient at small engine repair by any means, but I realize that and have picked up a few 5hp engine at Amish Auctions to practice on. If I can’t fix them no problem since I only paid a $1 each for them. The education is well worth a dollar.
Solid thinking. Sounds like you made a good choice in taking this new job. Skills to gain, plus it stretches your brain in learning something new. Thanks for another good video.
I have a friend who grew up in Yugoslavia under communism. She said when you went to the grocery store you’d stand in line for hours and when it was finally your turn to shop you go in and simply by the allowed amount of whatever was there. For instance there might be potatoes, cabbage, and sugar. That’s it. Literally 3 items in the whole store. So you’d buy the allowed limit of each and leave.
Thank y'all. Be praying for y'all in this new position. Sounds like a great opportunity. Great information as always and appreciate the level headed talks. Have a blessed day.
It’s harder to learn at a more “advanced” age. I was just talking to my wife about that yesterday (or was it the day before?😂). I used to be high level sharp but somewhere in my 40’s that declined significantly. Anyway, skills are good. I have found that, indeed, Jesus takes care of His own. That takes many forms, but they are all provided by Him for His glory! Have a good day, MR.
Good luck with your new position. Always a good thing to add knowledge and skills. Never stop learning. You may have been too young to remember the 1974 recession. I was a teen and jobs were scarce. A McDonald’s opened and literally there were 300 people applying for a handful of positions. I was nearly at the end of the application line which consisted of a whole lot of adults and few teens. I was hired since I had experience from working at a coffee shop. I knew quite a few people with no jobs and experiencing hard times. You never know what lies ahead for sure, but one thing you can bet on is the ebbs and flows of the economy. One just has to look behind to see it.
sounds like a fun thing. Perfect timing. Its why i went to work for DHS and FEMA and big banks and Hospitals to get all the personal first hand info on those institutions years ago.

like listening to you with your calm and relaxing demeanor
The worst is yet to come. It’s all done by design. Great video! Thanks for sharing 😊

Aye....great content. People forget quickly. Tools n skills and the ability to know when to bailout saved me thru the 08/10 fiasco.
Yes, skills . . . we definitely need them and we'll never be able to learn them all. That's why a community is so important.

Congratulations on your new job venture! Reminds me of the verse 'My people perish for lack of knowledge"

I like your videos, short, sweet and to the point.
