I am another outlier then, because I think about it in a very similar way. I have the most necessary stuff that I need daily stocked up for a couple of weeks. That's it. I have thought a lot about how individuals without a super high net worth could realistically prepare in a sensible way and came to the conclusion, that there doesn't seem to be a good enough answer at this point to justify spending a lot of resources on this. So I decided to instead enjoy my life as long as it's as good as it is (in a materialistic sense). Also, another important aspect of how to prepare mentally might be to look at it from a different perspective. What if this is actually a good long-term development disguised as economic hardship and suffering in the short run? I don't particularly like the way tech has turned out in the last couple of decades. Maybe it's an opportunity to rethink a few things...
