I agree with zen on his point. In practical terms, think of it as all of our 'bills' or responsibilities as they are held now. We have to pay our taxes/insurance for property and vehicles, we need to buy food from stores, we need to pay for communication, and we're addicted to all of these mindless time-and-money-sinks.
If we saw a restructuring of society, even through disaster (which I think has already passed personally), we could see the elimination of more than a few of these structures as personal responsibilities as they instead get absorbed into the newer technologies and group concepts explored in the pre-game to 4D existence. A breakdown in current government/financial structure would eliminate the tax/insurance aspect. A return to proper stewardship over the earth would push us towards producing more food and sustainable farming/ecology solutions. Same thing with energy and the environment; restarting with renewable and environment-friendly technologies would be the ideal solution even at this point in time!
Additionally, the pole shift could end up with very positive consequences. As the ice caps melt, ocean levels rise which would normally be a big problem. However, that really means we're only one good desalinization technology from providing the dry places on earth with the water they so desperately need. If we are willing to work through the coming years as if it were catalyst, we should come out of this much better than before.
My dream is that we'll embrace a more ancient lifestyle that is punctuated by amazing technologies. The best of both worlds. What can I say? I'm a dreamer
