  I can't beleive I bought this book! June 23, 2008
If I had spent three minutes doing a little R and D I would have never bought this book but I was lazy and I got what I deserved.
If you want a book with a lot of right wing Republican drivel and Mormon survival philosophy pushed at you and exposure to an author who spends most of the book's time letting you know how prescient he is then go ahead and buy it. But if you are serious about getting personal financial information then look further and pass on this one.
I agree he might need the six months of food supply hidden away as if everyone populates the earth with scores of kids and grandkids as he has then the food supply will surely become strained.
 Ruff was wrong in 1979 when this book was first published June 19, 2008

Howard Ruff originally published this book in 1979. Anyone who followed his advice lost money for years and years. Sort of reminds me of Ravi Batra and his 1987 best-seller, "The Great Depression of 1990." What Great Depression of 1990, you ask? My point, precisely. Now that things are looking badly economically, Ruff can call himself a prophet, and republish his book with "21st century updates" responding to the credit crisis. Yeah, okay Howard.

Excellent read, Mr Ruff, makes his case here compelling letting us know of the urgency of our situation in this country, but he also gives solid solutions in how to overcome them I give this book 4 stars for strong clear, readable content and excellent problem solving ideas.

either you get it or you don't. this book was first published in 1979. therefore, it is way ahead of any other financial book that was written during this same time period. the title would sound a little frisky, if it were written just today. however, it wasn't. there are many things that he talks about that people are only now starting to realize and discuss. things like gold, silver and food for survival. he talks about the impending banking crisis that would be about to unfold. these are all things that are coming into fruition now, and yet people still do not get it. the premanatory nature of this book shows just how brainwashed we still are with gas about to hit five and gold set to hit $1000 one more time and beyond. if people do not get it now. they will after this christmas. it will be one of the worst christmases ever.

What a fun book to read! Mr. Ruff seems to be a very good and honest man and I enjoyed his book very much. If you believe the country and the world has no problems then this is not the book for you. If you believe we will have economic problems in the future and like me you don't have faith in our growing supply of paper money, then you will enjoy this book. I am a silver nut. I believe gold and silver are money, not paper. More important, I learned a few things from reading this book. I always admire men who can teach me something. I seek them out. Regards, Keith, Peachtree City, Ga.
