It is worth acquiring a home Self-Sufficiency package well in advance, before you actually need it, as crisis situations typically arise unexpectedly and most often without any prior warning.
It is recommended to start acquiring a home Self-Sufficiency package when you notice that the need for it may be urgent — for example, before autumn storms, winter snowstorms, or possible crisis and pandemic situations.
Here are some tips on when and why you should buy a home improvement:
1. Preparing for emergency situations
- Hybrid operations and armed conflicts : If you live in an area at risk of hybrid operations or armed conflict, it is very important to prepare for emergencies in advance. Disruptions in electricity and water supply, as well as vulnerabilities in logistics chains, can make it difficult to cope with basic everyday activities.
- Pandemics and healthcare crises : Situations like the COVID-19 pandemic can restrict movement and reduce the availability of goods. In such cases, having a ready-made home supply can make life easier, as stores may be temporarily closed or shelves empty.
2. Before possible disruptions, such as strikes or transportation problems
- For example, strikes or other disruptions in the transportation sector can prevent goods from reaching stores, making household supplies vital.
3. Before the storms of autumn and winter
- Autumn and winter can bring sudden weather events, such as storms, snowfalls, or long power outages. In these cases, it is important to ensure that your home supplies include enough food, drink, heating, and lighting for several days in advance.
2. Before holiday seasons and high seasons
- Holiday seasons, such as Christmas and Midsummer, can bring with them difficulties in delivering food and supplies. If goods are not available, a home supply can be a safety net so that the family is not left without necessary products.
4. When you realize that your financial situation may deteriorate
- If there is economic uncertainty or exceptional circumstances, such as job loss or rising prices, a home equity line of credit can be a financially sound solution that helps reduce purchases and ensure the well-being of your family during difficult times.
6. Early acquisition brings peace of mind
- Buying a home Self-Sufficiency package early, rather than when a crisis is already underway, will bring peace of mind. It will reduce stress because you can be sure that you are prepared for potential problems. It will also help you avoid unnecessary panic purchases and higher prices that can occur during a crisis.
7. Regular review and addition
- A Self-Sufficiency package is not a one-time purchase, but rather an ongoing process of maintaining and reviewing it. It is important to check your Self-Sufficiency at least once a year, especially the best before dates of food, and to ensure that the items are usable.
Summary
- It is worth purchasing a Self-Sufficiency in advance , before you actually need it, because exceptional circumstances are impossible to predict.
- It is recommended to start purchasing gradually , for example in the fall, when you can prepare for the possible challenges of winter, or immediately when you feel that some kind of exceptional situation may be ahead.
When your Self-Sufficiency are in order, you can confidently face everyday challenges without additional stress.
