Good questions.
I just finished the book. It was a great book. I really lays out the roadmap. Most importantly, it tells us big picture what the fed is going to do going forward.
I believe we have 3 to 5 years before this plays out. I am basing that on the next Saturn-Pluto hard aspect which is in 2028.
For context, here are the previous such hard aspects for the last 100 years:

As to answers to your questions, number one thing is to get out of debt and reduce your expenses. Try to physically hold hard assets. Spend all your free educational time on financial stuff. There are some good youtube channels out there, the economic ninja is one. I also enjoy David Hunter.
I will try to think of other pieces of advice.
