Should You Budget for the End Times?
Original: Should I Budget for the End Times?
A new personal finance essay asks whether savers should plan for civilisational collapse rather than retirement, arguing that climate disasters, pandemics and political instability are reshaping what financial preparedness means. The piece weighs practical prepping — emergency cash, stockpiled supplies, resilience planning — against traditional long-term saving, and has struck a chord with readers anxious about an unpredictable future.
Why now: Growing anxiety about climate, geopolitical and economic instability is making people question conventional financial planning.
