Hi there and Welcome
Best advice as you are 21 and the world is your oyster is have a good think about what you want to do for a job, preferably a well paying job will make you life much easier as well as spend more money on better preps. I decided at 24 I wanted to gain a useful trade as an arborist, after doing a (worthless) art degree because I was young and idealistic. I love my job, but I work hard, its dangerous, it takes a toll on my body and its badly paid. Do some serious research into careers, how to make money and investment especially look at passive incomes.
The world is a quickly changing place but if all we do is concentrate on the SHTF scenario and forget to be happy in the present, what is the point?
I recommend becoming an expert in a couple of things in your spare time, whether its a useful trade like carpentry, or gardening or a sport like Mixed Martial arts, which will incentivise you to stay fit.
Think it ALL through, write it down in a notebook if that helps. And aim to learn as much as you can as well as apply that learning in a practical way. Knowing the theory is great although doing it for real is the only way you will have a true understanding of it.
All the best mate.

Welcome.
One more thing i would add to whats already been mentioned is to think about the possibility of having more then one revenue stream.
If you are young, you wont always be taken seriously by employers which means the possibility of job instability. If you do lose work, one thing to remember is that the benefits system is a pain. Its better than nothing, but there can be a delay in getting benefits and you still have bills to pay and food to buy.
Also, your employer might pay the right wage for that job at that time, but it won't necessarily be enough to keep your head above water. Just plain living in a manner that is sufficiently comfortable and not too expensive is still pricey and the more financial stability you can get the better.
Take some time to work out what you might be able to do in your spare time on line. Evaluate some skills and see what works for you. But be aware that the internet is also full of promises and many scams so be careful and research.
