- Hold no debt (for most people this means renting)
- Hold cash and cash equivalents (short term treasuries) under your own control
- Don't trust the banking system, deposit insurance or no deposit insurance
- Sell equities, real estate, most bonds, commodities, collectibles (or short if you can afford to gamble)
- Gain some control over the necessities of your own existence if you can afford it
- Be prepared to work with others as that will give you far greater scope for resilience and security
- If you have done all that and still have spare resources, consider precious metals as an insurance policy
- Be worth more to your employer than he is paying you
- Look after your health!
