This is nothing new to some of you, but to some this is a far off scenario that could never happen and people are just being paranoid. I am not a prepper or conspiracy theorist, but I am a realist. I know the possible consequences of not being a prepper are much worse than the funny looks I might receive during an alcohol fueled Sunday Fun-day brunch, where I tell the table about my Bug Out Bag in the trunk of my car. I also know that a conspiracy theory is only a conspiracy “theory” until that “theory” is proven.
A top financial advisor, worried that Obamacare, the NSA spying scandal and spiraling national debt is increasing the chances for a fiscal and social disaster, is recommending that Americans prepare a “bug-out bag” that includes food, a gun and ammo to help them stay alive.

His memo is part of a series addressing the potential for a “financial apocalypse.” His view, however, is that the problems plaguing the country won’t result in armageddon. “There is the possibility of a precipitous decline, although a long and drawn out malaise is much more likely,” said the Charlottesville, Va.-based president of Marotta Wealth Management.
