I think we all know what you mean and agree with you.
"Back then" was the best time to buy a lot of things I wish we had been able to afford at the time.
But right now is the second best time.
We are being forced into a "new normal" like what happened to us after the 1973-1974 oil embargo when gas prices doubled driving the price of everything else up.
And once the value of the dollar plumets and orices skyrocket there is no going back.
One big difference is that the embargo was largely created by foreign powers and forced on us.
This Bidenomic disaster is homemade and was 100% avoidable and it's probably intentional .
If/when democrats and RINOs finish destroying the economy and what's left of our culture our world will change in ways almost unimaginable just a generation ago.
If the Stuff Hits The Fan gold will still be around somewhere but we can't eat it.
And there won't be big supplies of canners and jars on the shelves of the looted and bankrupt stores at any price.
A good pressure canner, a supply of jars and lids and other prepper/survival tools will be worth more than gold.
Good point IM. Instead of looking back on what I could have gotten, I should buy now. Well, that’s actually what I’m doing lol! Buying all the expensive things anyway. But more jars, more lids, and accessories for the canners, I definitely need to do more of that. Thanks for the gentle push.
