TF144 SURVIVAL INTEL DROP

Achieve financial self-governance in a collapsing system.

Tool	Purpose	Use It For
Budget (Mission Brief)	Tells your money where to go	Use a zero-based budget or envelope method
Debt Reduction	Cut the bleed	Use “Debt Snowball” or “Avalanche” strategy
Emergency Fund	Stay in the fight	Save 1–3 months minimum; 6+ is full op-sec
High-Income Skill	Build weapons-grade income	Trade, digital skill, security training, biz
Self-Employed LLC or Sole Prop	Operate like a ghost	Claim expenses, build assets, bid contracts
Gold/Silver/Crypto/Barter	Decentralized hedge	Backup for fiat failure
Land/Food/Water	Tactical wealth	Invest in what feeds & shelters your crew

Cut Unnecessary Monthly Bleeds
- Audit bank/credit card statements
- Kill subscriptions (Netflix, unused apps, phone upgrades)
- Buy food in bulk. Cook, don’t Uber.
List Every Debt (From Smallest to Largest)
- Use Debt Snowball: Pay minimums on all, throw everything extra at the smallest
- Or use Avalanche: Attack the highest interest rate first
- Build momentum → gain morale → escape velocity
Use Every Extra Dollar to Escape Faster
- Sell gear you don’t use
- Side hustle: mow lawns, train dogs, flip tools, clean gutters
- Trade labor for food, barter, save the difference

Start Emergency Fund
- Phase 1 Goal: $1,000 cash buffer
- Phase 2 Goal: 3 months of bare survival cost (rent, food, gas)
Create a Survival Budget (Zero-Based)
- Every dollar gets an assignment before the month begins
- Include: food, gas, rent/mortgage, insurance, ammo/training
- Ditch: Starbucks, status buys, “emotional Amazoning”
Increase Income

Build a cash job or skill: (Example)
- Gun range training? → Offer private lessons.
- Know food storage? → Run weekend workshops.
- Good with hands? → Carpentry, mechanics, or welding.
OR go digital: If you continue to pursue the vision you can't lose when you out work people to your right and left.
- Build content around your skills (YouTube, courses, PDF guides)
- Flip surplus gear, sell info, use AI tools for automation

Own Assets, Not Liabilities
- Assets make money — rentals, skills, tools, bees, guns, gear
- Liabilities drain money — financed toys, cars, subscriptions
- Ask: “If the grid dies tomorrow, does this still feed me or protect me?”
Turn Income into Ownership
- Buy used tools → start side work
- Buy raw land → plant food / raise bees
- Start LLC → protect and scale your side biz
- Get 1 paid-off vehicle → reduce exposure
Move Into Real Value
- Cash is paper — hedge with:
  - Silver (junk silver, 1 oz coins)
  - Land (tax-delinquent lots, family acres)
  - Crypto (only what you understand)
  - Barter (ammo, food, skill trades)
