경제불황에 대비한 13가지

 

"그런 경고를 수없이 들었는데 왜 아직도 아무 일도 일어나지 않는가 ?

좋은 질문이다.

그러나 경제붕괴에 대한 우려는, 하늘이 무너질까봐 걱정하는 기우와는 결이 다르다. “2008 년 증시 충격 사태 때, 모든 사람들이 곧 경제가 붕괴될 것이라고 주장했는데, 서서히 회복된 듯이 보이고 근년에는 되레 주가가 상승하는 기이한 현상을 보이고 있다.

그런데.... 사실은,

주식시장의 시스템적인 위험이 근본적으로 교정되거나 제거된 것이 아니다.

​

돈을 무한정 찍어서 위기를 벗어났는데, 그 이후 오히려 버블을 한없이 키워서 폭발력을 더욱 무섭게 키우고 있다. 버블은 영원히 커질 수 없으며 결국 언젠가는 터질 수 밖에 없는 것이다.

 

지금 대공황 직전처럼, 국가와 개인들은 너무 많은 빚을 안고 있으며 부는 충분하지 않다. 그런데 한편으로 주식은 신고점을 계속 갱신하며 거품을 키워가고 있는데, 이는 거품파열과 동시에 끝없는 추락과 붕괴가 뒤따를 것이라는 암시다.

​

잔치가 한없이 계속되는 것이 아니라 언젠가는 끝나는 것처럼... 지금은, 돈 찍어 유지하는 거품경제의 끝물이라고 봐야 할 것이며, 가까운 앞날에 경기후퇴와 경기침체 디플레가 시작될 것이다.

 

이런 경제공황의 위험에 더해서 시장을 패닉에 빠트리게 할 핵전쟁의 위험도 상존한다. 그 어느 때보다도 경제붕괴의 위험이 큰 시기인 지금, 우리 프레퍼/서바들은 그때가 언제인가 하고 멀건히 지켜보며 기다릴 것이 아니라 일이 터지기 전에 제각기 나름대로의 대비책을 미리 마련해두어야 할 것이다.

 

경제불황에 대비해서 해야 할 것 13 가지를 꼽아본다.

​

​

1. 재난대비품 갈무리 (Stockpile the Necessities)

​

여분의 식량과 물을 비축하는 것은 가장 일반적이고 좋은 대비책이다.

특히 기후변화에 영향을 받는 지역에 거주하고 있다면 더더욱 그렇다.

​

경제붕괴에 대비한다면 최소한 수개월 분의 식량을 비축해두라.

식량은 최소한 그대가 키우는 작물의 수확될 때까지 버틸 수 있을 정도로

충분히 갈무리해 두는 것을 권한다.

​

몇달간 사용할 정도로 충분한 양의 물을 비축하라.

물을 정수살균할 수 있는 방법을 여러가지 습득해두라.

​

재난상황에서는 곧 부족사태가 닥칠 수 있으니, 의료용품을 비축하라.

​

또한 전기부족 현상이 있어날 것이다.

전기없이 어둠을 밝히고 음식을 조리하고, 난방(또는 냉방) 하는 방안을 강구해두라.

​

보안,방범 방안에 대해서 연구하라. 세상이 혼란해지면 사람들이 필사적이 될 것이다.

 

​

2. 생존배낭 꾸려두기 (Build Some Bug Out Bags )

​

Depending on the severity of the collapse, your town or city might become so dangerous that you have no choice but to leave it and head for a bug out location. But first, you’ll want to put together bug out bags for yourself and your family. You could even make bug out bags for your pets.

You should also consider getting a good bug out vehicle. If all you have is a small car, then you’ll have a hard time getting where you need to go.

​

3. 스스로 먹거리 재배 (Grow Your Own Food)

​

Unless you have an underground vault the size of the Sistine Chapel in your backyard, you probably won’t be able to stockpile a lifetime of food for you and your loved ones. A more sustainable option is to grow your own food.

Growing your own food takes quite a bit of trial and error to reach a point where you can live off your own produce, which is all the more reason to start sooner rather than later.

​

4. 전기를 스스로 생산하거나 전기없이 살 수 있는 방법 연구

(Create Your Own Electricity or Learn to Live Without)

​

In the event of an economic collapse, being dependent on the power grid is not the best situation to be in. The more you rely on electricity to accomplish your daily tasks, the more you’ll be behind when the power goes out. Solve this problem by learning to do as many daily activities without electricity as possible.

For example, start using kitchen gadgets and off grid lights that work without power. Combine this with a portable generator for the essentials and you’ll be self-reliant and comfortable.

​

5. 현금 보유 Keep Cash on Hand

If the market tanks, you may still have some time to buy your way out of a sticky situation before inflation hits or the economy collapses altogether. Keep a hefty sum of cash on hand at all times so that you can make an emergency purchase without having to take a trip to the bank.

You never know when you might have to use it, especially if the electricity is out and no credit card transactions are possible.

​

6. 귀금속에 투자 Invest in Precious Metals

When other currencies lose their value, you can trust that gold and silver will still be viable for making purchases in a disaster scenario. In fact, when inflation hits, the price of gold and silver goes up tremendously because these precious metals keep their value despite economic changes.

Be sure to have them in a form that is easily tradable, like coins, rather than in a larger form such as bars.

​

7. 물물교환 가능한 물품 쟁여놓기 Stock Up on Barter Items

I know, I know, I’ve mentioned cash, precious metals, and barter items now. So you’re probably wondering, which one should I get? Well, all three, if possible. In a deflationary collapse, you’ll want cash. In an inflationary collapse, you’ll want precious metals.

And in a total collapse, you’ll want barter items. Try to have a little bit of each so you’re prepared for every possibility.

​

8. 빚에서 탈출 Get Out of Debt

Once you’ve acquired at least a little bit of cash, precious metals, and barter items, it’s time to start getting out of debt. If the economic crisis isn’t catastrophic (i.e. society’s infrastructure is left intact), you’ll want to make your money go as far as possible.

To that end, get out of debt as fast as you can! You want to be able to respond to a rapid change in the economy as quickly as possible. If inflation hits, you lose your home, or scarcity becomes a real problem, you don’t want to owe your creditors the money you need to survive. To do that…

​

9. 근검절약 생활 Lower Monthly Bills / Spend Less

In the same vein as paying off debts, lower your bills and try to spend less at the store, so you can spend your money on more important things. Having a monetary obligation to too many places can be a serious drawback in the event of a crisis.

Great ways to lower monthly bills are mentioned earlier: grow your own food, provide your own electricity, and pay off your debts.

​

10. 화폐경제가 유지되는 몇 달 동안 활용할 수 있는 비상자금 마련

( 장기적인 재난상황을 버텨내고 기회를 찾을 수 있는 무기가 될 것)

(Create an Emergency Fund)

After you’ve gotten out of debt, create an emergency fund that will allow you to handle anything that comes up during a disaster. If the economy is in crisis but stable enough that your money still has value, having 3-6 months’ expenses saved can go a long way toward keeping you out of crisis mode yourself.

To do this, start learning new ways to save money.

​

11. 건강 유지 식습관과 운동법 공부Learn to Eat Healthy and Exercise Right

Getting in the habit of eating right and exercising is very important for preparing yourself for a survival situation. When the economy collapses, chances are you’ll be burning a lot more calories simply trying to survive than you normally do.

Similarly, knowing the proper fuel to put in your body will pay off later when you’re having to work to stay full.

​

12. 호신술 배워두기 Learn Self Defense

The best time to learn how to defend yourself is now. Start with firearms training and become proficient with rifles, shotguns, and pistols. You may need them to protect yourself, others, and to hunt with. Stockpile ammunition as well, preparing for a shortage or a time when you won’t be able to purchase or find any.

​

13. 보안,방범 강화 Beef Up Your Home Security

After an economic collapse, there are going to be a lot of desperate people out there who won’t think twice about breaking into your home and taking your supplies so they can feed their families.

Don’t make it easy for them. Reinforce your doors and windows, set up hobo alarms so they don’t catch you off guard, put up solar-powered motion lights to try and deter them, and get some guns and ammo in case they manage to break into your house.
