Hi folks, Jack Spirko here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial free versions of past episodes podcast blast from the past.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear and standard iTunes Stitcher and other feeds,

but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today we are rewinding back to March the 22nd 2016 episode 1749.

This is actually an episode that's just one back from the episode we did in the last pre-wind,

but it wasn't really planned that way. There's a feature on the website.

If you go look at it and right near the top of the stack on the sidebar,

it says listen to a random episode. If you click it, it might actually not pull up an episode.

It just pulls up a random post on the blog with a good part of them being episodes.

What I did today is I just kept clicking that until I found one that I thought would work as a rewind.

And it's called Financial Preparedness for the Modern, Financial Preparedness, the Modern Survivalist Way.

And again, it's just from 2016, so we're going back what, seven years here,

a little bit more than seven years because we're going back March, like seven and a half years.

When I saw this, I thought this would be perfect.

And, you know, I don't remember everything contrary to what I think people believe about.

I don't remember everything about everything, like every episode I did and every word I said.

But I thought, like this is probably spot on, so I looked at the notes and I'm like, yeah, this is perfect.

And here's why it's perfect.

When COVID hit, I had people to complain that I didn't teach enough hardcore survival so they weren't ready.

And I would submit to you the dish show that was done what, five years before COVID hit.
