As a consequence I worry about the outside and she worries about the inside of the front door.

This is the same as our situation and it works for us.
Although, the canning has been my thing too, but I love to preserve food.
For the most part, my wife doesn't pay attention to the bleak aspects of resource depletion. She's getting better at accepting me for who I am in this regard. We're committed to each other with an adopted son a litte over a year old. There's no way out and no way back and I wouldn't want that anyway.
Gulp.....sometimes that scares me but I keep telling myself that he found us because he wanted to prepare as well.
I'm not sure things are getting tough yet, regardless of what the clairvoyants around here say.
Recent news has made me grateful that I had the sense to get out of the mutual fund and stock market when I did and put my money toward the farm. I feel vindicated that it was a good thing to do even though I do realize the stock market will likely go back up again. Everytime it crashes I get this feeling.
A well-built efficiently run small farm doesn't follow the speculators and can only increase in value from here on in. IMO. The goal is complete sustainance even though that might be unacheiveable. The more you can do for yourself the better off you are.
I think that, for me, 2008 will be the make or break prep year. I feel that the bad things talked about here are teetering between speculation and reality, leaning more toward reality each month. I'm hoping for the slow decline but I personally have no idea how it may go down.
