Meanwhile, you'll continue on your path to financial independence with a quick course on budgeting.

Echoes from the Past: Grayson Fields
“On a normal spring day, in the heartland of America, Daniel Grayson is expecting another day of dealing with his students and managing the family. Another day of living on his homestead that he and his wife bought together some years ago. What he didn't expect was a phone call from the school informing him to stay home. He soon finds out that a lot of unexpected occurrences are happening. Oil refineries, drilling stations, and storage facilities have been attacked across the nation. Not only is there an attack on oil, but cell phone communication has been cut off as well. Without oil and communication, everything could come to a halt. Gas stations are drained and stores are emptied. People are scared and cities soon become dangerous. The Graysons are a strong and resourceful family. The Grayson brothers, Phillip, Bobby, and Daniel, are all close with their family, but events would bring them closer than they ever thought possible. With not knowing what is going on in the country and resources and time dwindling, Daniel and his family have to act fast. The family attempts to make it to Daniel’s homestead from different parts of the country. Getting there safely is the first step of many dangerous episodes that will change their lives forever. Their only hope is that they can band together and survive the uncertainty of the chaos.”

The Walk
It's one minute after the Big One. Marty Slack, a TV network executive, crawls out from under his Mercedes, parked outside what once was a downtown Los Angeles warehouse, the location for a new TV show. Downtown LA is in ruins. The sky is thick with black smoke. His cell phone is dead. The freeways are rubble. The airport is demolished. Buildings lay across streets like fallen trees. It will be days before help can arrive. Marty has been expecting this day all his life. He's prepared. In his car are a pair of sturdy walking shoes and a backpack of food, water, and supplies. He knows there is only one thing he can do ... that he must do: get home to his wife Beth, go back to their gated community on the far edge of the San Fernando Valley. All he has to do is walk. But he will quickly learn that it's not that easy. His dangerous, unpredictable journey home will take him through the different worlds of what was once Los Angeles. Wildfires rage out of control. Flood waters burst through collapsed dams. Natural gas explosions consume neighborhoods. Sinkholes swallow entire buildings. After-shocks rip apart the ground. Looters rampage through the streets. There's no power. No running water. No order. Marty Slack thinks he's prepared. He's wrong. Nothing can prepare him for this ordeal, a quest for his family and for his soul, a journey that will test the limits of his endurance and his humanity, a trek from the man he was to the man he can be ... if he can survive The Walk.
