Your wages and pensions are “guaranteed”

lol.

We’ll just inflate the currency after we leave the euro so that your wages and pensions become pittances

As long as the cat’s happy, that’s all that matters.

... thanks for all the fish.

Retirement Accounts will be the first thing siezed if we go the way of Greece.

uh, you can blame Greece all you like, Wall Street.

And media.

Bottom line is we have turned our backs on our Creator.

Expect nothing in the final end except disaster.

May God please spare His remnant.

Repent.

“The lesson here is to make plans early. Don’t be the guy waiting all weekend desperate for the ATMs to start working.”

I agree, in principle, but it's a sad reality that often the hardest-working people are the ones with the least time to ‘plan’ contingencies.

This "crisis" has been in the news for months. The year is 2015, and financial institutions have embraced the internet. The only reason to have money at all in Greek financial institutions is to have a small amount of cash for walking around money.

Anyone who has more than a thousand Euros or so in a Greek bank account is either suffering from extreme stupidity or is illiterate.

Agree with you about Greece. I was commenting more generally. If one is working 12-14 hours a day, and has a family and thus responsibilities outside of work, it’s very difficult to stay on top of and/or anticipate the myriad occurrences that can have a big effect on your savings and investments.

That can’t be true. In a republic, the representatives serve the people.
