I've two anecdotes.
Over time, I've more inclined towards a prepping lifestyle--but it's because I have trauma that makes it hard for me to hold down a 9-5. So when my life already has a habit of ping-ponging between feast and famine, and I can't seem to kill the reason I ping-pong due to trauma, my work-around is to prep when I have income, and survive on it later when I don't. I approach it with measured reasons.
In my unique situation, "prepping" is basically a work-around bandaid to my PTSD, and I'm well aware my circumstances are NOT the same as other people's, and I have no intention of converting others or drawing them into it.
