Should You Budget for the End Times?
Original: Should I Budget for the End Times?
A personal finance essay asks whether ordinary savers should plan their money for civilizational breakdown rather than retirement. The piece weighs doomsday prepping, emergency funds, and climate or political anxiety against conventional advice to save for the long term. It reflects a growing mood that traditional financial planning feels out of step with a world that seems increasingly unstable, and readers are debating how much precaution is rational.
Why now: Widespread anxiety about climate, politics and economic instability is making people question conventional saving advice.
