I've got some but not all of the items you mentioned handled. House is not paid for but would that really matter in a completely collapsed economy? I'm in a location where it is highly unlikely anyone is going to come out to evict me in a societal collapse. :) You are absolutely correct TF.

How about emergency cash on hand, a couple of months to carry over if you find yourself without a job? How about being out of debt so the only cash flow out is for utilities and consumables? Car and house paid for? These are part of the preparedness mentality too. How about a portion of your emergency funds being precious metals; gold, silver or platinum for when the dollar becomes worthless paper? Food will become as valuable as gold when the economy collapses. Do you have a home garden for fresh vegetables? Your list could go on for quite a while when you consider what being prepared means.
