Spending all your money on supplies and ‘preps’.

I’m always surprised by ‘preppers’ spending all their money on ‘preps’. 'Money will be useless after event X or Y'. If you don’t have any debts and your ‘preps’ are for self-sustaining living, why not?

However I also see people spending all their money on 'preps' and complaining about their mortgage. If you have a mortgage, don’t expect it to be gone all of a sudden. You still have to pay your mortgage after a bank has collapsed. Your mortgage is just an item banks can bundle and sell to others.

If you can’t pay your mortgage, your will be eventually be kicked out of your house your 'preps' included. What do you do when a event starts slowly and you don't have the money to move or safely store you stuff. If you have some stuff, sure you can leave it at families and friends houses, but I doubt many people have spare space for months of supplies from someone else. The chance of loosing your job is far greater then an apocalypse. Spending all your money on supplies is putting all your eggs in one basket. Preparing is perfectly fine, but when you over do it, you are not prepared  for more normal problems.
