Everyone knows by now that the economy in the world is changing radically, especially in the West.
The western model of working for a large company, getting benefits like paid vacations, and finally “retiring” is not going to survive the decades ahead. Instead, what we will likely see more and more in the west is what has been common around the world for a long time. That is, large numbers of small businesses and entrepreneurs, family businesses, and individuals. There will still be large companies, but they will not do very well without labor, supplies, materials, fuel, and infrastructure.
As long as the internet is functioning, there are many ways for people to make money online. See our site www.cashforest.com for some tips, reviews, helpful information and links.
However, if the internet crashes, it’s going to create loads of problems. Big corporations will not be able to function properly. Small businesses will adapt better. Here are some areas that will boom in coming years if we lose more infrastructure. First, the basics: food, clothes ( repair, sell ), transportation of all kinds, well digging, surveying, gardening skills, all kinds of construction, repair.
Also good businesses; any kind of road and lumber clearing, electronic repairs, appliance repair, wilderness guiding, hunting, fishing. There will need to be ways to prepare foods for long term storage ( dry, smoke, freeze ). Health will be important of course, including all kinds of alternative medicine like herbs, acupuncture, reiki, massage, nutrition.
The future economy will include a large portion of trade in used products. A great many of the items produced by factories for our “modern” life can last for a very long time if taken care of. Plastics, for example. Even old machines can last a long time. It is possible today to use a tube radio to receive and broadcast, even though the the technology is over 75 years old. As manufacturing begins to decline for lack of infrastructure, supplies, labor, or materials, we will have to use items that already exist.
There will be a trade in books and useful information, like repair and operating manuals.
It will be valuable to have a lot of different skills.
