I think Dave Ramsey hit the nail on the head when he mentioned this on his radio show the other day. Its okay to prep... as long as you are conducting yourself responsibly financially in other areas. If you are prepping instead of taking care of the basic financial needs of your family, then you have a problem. Otherwise, prep to your heart's content.
"For it is we who must pray for our daily bread, and if He grants it to us, it is only through our labour, our skill and preparation." -- Paracelsus
Yep to both post. You are not prepping if you ignore your daily needs, you are just hoarding.
