re: Who is ready for the next big financial crisis?

Mrs. Tantal and I both have skills that will help us ride out an most any storm, even if it means pay cuts for both of us. We have no debt other than a mortgage.....and even then we only owe about 40% of what the house is currently worth. I'm also heavily invested in physical silver, gold, lead, and keep about $30K in liquid cash on hand for emergencies. I hope we don't have another crash, but we're in a better position than most to ride it out.
