Are you a prepper?

Well, you guys can spend your time worrying about the great Mayan/Obama/Jesus collapse some of you seem to have a fetish for.

I'm gonna look forward to finishing school, getting a good job, making better money, and spending time with my children. Cause life is gonna go on as normal throughout my existence on this planet. If I'm wrong, feel free to not share your survival rations with me.

Also the new Star Wars movie. I'm pretty jazzed about that.

There's a balance, I believe. The world is a ****** place and on any given day something terrible can happen. And in those cases, having some sort of preparation in place can be helpful. Basic planning and self-sufficiency are not crazy.

But spending absurd amounts of money on things you believe will help you survive zombies/asteroids/martial law/the apocalypse/the return of Xenu, etc. is crazy and people who do it are so concerned about vague future events that may possibly occur that they're spending all their current time obsessing over it. Then one day you wake up and there was no apocalypse and you die alone surrounded by canned goods and ammunition.
