Book Description

September 1, 1999
Do you want to prepare your family for the ramifications of Y2K, but have no inclination to move to a cabin in the country? Then this manual is for you! This book contains one family's advice for preparing for the Millennium Bug. You will learn which home appliances will be problematic. You will learn ways of stockpiling food without breaking your budget. You will find out how to protect your financial assets and prepare for Social Security or Medicare disruptions. You will learn ways to deal with power outages. You will receive many ideas on taking care of your children and meeting their special needs. You will also learn how to test your home computer for Y2K compliance, and more! This is a great manual for the family who doesn't want to spend a fortune on preparing for Y2K, but feels the need to be ready "just in case".

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

In this book, you will take an up-close and personal glimpse into the authors' lives to see how they are preparing for the Millennium Bug. You will see what preparations they are making for possible food and water shortages, power outages, and medical care problems. If you have small children, you will enjoy the section addressing the special needs of children. If you have concerns for your financial assets or are wondering how to adjust your financial portfolio during this time, you will find this manual very helpful. Learn how to protect yourself, your family, and your assets without sacrificing a great deal of time and money. Prepare, but be smart!

From the Author

No one knows what the year 2000 will bring. We could face many inconveniences or witness a total meltdown of life as we know it. Because we have two small children, we felt it was prudent to make preparations "just in case". Just as we buy life insurance and hope to never use it, we have the same thoughts about our year 2000 preparations. Because even the experts disagree on the potential fallout for the Y2K situation, we wanted to have enough "insurance" to protect our family. Thus, we are preparing for many possibilities and want to share what we have learned with others. If you have no plans to move from your home, in preparation for Y2K, or if you want to keep your preparation costs down, this is what you need. We hope you and your family will benefit from our research and preparations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Giving it to my employees - excellent summary of how to prep, September 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Non-Extremist's Guide to Preparing Your Family for Y2K (Mass Market Paperback)
As an employer, I found this to be an excellent guide for my employees. We are doing everything possible in our business to prepare for Y2K, including educating (without alarming) our staff. I was surprised to learn that our staff had very little knowledge of Y2K. By providing them with this book, we were able to educate them, and hopefully, ensure a smoother transition into the year 2000 for us all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Read!!, July 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Non-Extremist's Guide to Preparing Your Family for Y2K (Mass Market Paperback)
Great! This book took me by the hand and explained precisely what I needed to do. I appreciated that the discussions were on my level (am I the only person on earth who didn't know exactly how to drain the water from my pipes until I read this book?) A good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great source of rational help!!, May 21, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Non-Extremist's Guide to Preparing Your Family for Y2K (Mass Market Paperback)
I was so happy to find a book to help us, without trying to scare us! I knew we wanted to prepare but I was so tired of all of the hype out there. This book gave us straight talk about everything we were interested in, including our investments, our bank, appliances, how much food and water to store. As a mother, I was concerned about our kids, but the chapter on the special needs of children has provided some great advice, and has allayed my fears. This book is a sane, no-nonsense, and (thank you) no hype guide to Y2K.
