I live in a nice little neighborhood in suburbia. I live in a downstairs apartment with a lovely landlord who lives upstairs. The neighborhood is upscale and has historically very low crime. I'm surrounded by trees - it feels like living in the forest and is as close as I can get to that while I'm in the midst of medical treatment for my ankle.

But recently things aren't quite as idyllic here. Gunshots ring out some nights, followed by a symphony of sirens. Alerts come to my phone some afternoons about sheltering in place due to a criminal fleeing. My next door neighbor had a break-in midday when she went out to pick up her kids from school.

There goes the neighborhood, huh?

So, I decided I was going to upgrade my own home security. I'm limited as to what I can do since I'm not the owner, and my budget is tight. However, I found five simple additions to my home security that anyone can install, even if they rent. These may not all be for you, but if there's one thing on the list that makes you a little bit safer, then I'm happy I wrote this.

What are some cheap options for improved, inexpensive home security that you recommend? Have you tried any of the recommendations listed here? Have crimes increased where you live?

Let's discuss it in the comments section.

Prepping costs money. Everyone knows that, even the most staunch I'll-Never-Be-A-Doomsday-Prepper-Why-Don't-You-Live-A-Little co-worker you might have.

So, in this economy, under these conditions, how are you supposed to get prepared for the Next Big Catastrophe? Is it even possible?

Absolutely, it is.

And I know this for a fact from personal experience.

The number one factor people mention when asking questions on my website is money. They're wondering how they can afford to do all these things that sound so extravagant when they're just getting by. They want to know if it's even possible to prep in the world we're living in today.

They want to know if they can do it, even though they're broke.

You can.

And in this book, I'm going to show you how.
