Yes, pay down debt if you can. Save cash and metals. Try to live in a state like Kansas where homestead law protects you house in the event of a bankruptcy. Have a garden, of course!

Economic forecast:

1 Single and Double wide Trailer prices will rise.

2 People will buy all the available sleeping bags.

3 Fights will break out for the best spots under the bridge.

Wisconsin has two of local note (Wollersheim and Botham, which is just ‘over the hill’ from me) and a few others that brew wine in big vats from mixes. ;)

So we’re probably safe. For now.

Luckily, homemade wine is easy to make. :)

Can I bring my chickens with me when I’m living under a bridge? Will they each need a sleeping bag, or can I pile them all into one? ;)

There’s no going back to the prices of January 2020 for the same reason there will never, ever be penny candy again. The dollar debauchery that took place has permanently disfigured prices. The central planners, eager to deliver something for nothing, caused an epic disaster.

I remember penny candy - and some that was two for a penny. We're probably at the stage now where folks in the future will marvel we once paid only a $1.29 for a dozen eggs.

Is this a case of the proverbial ‘putting all your eggs in one basket’ - - at an industry wide level? What percentage of wineries used this same bank?

I think the writer meant that was the narrative that had been created. Not necessarily that he believed it.

Since you are living under the bridge as an indigent rather than a troll feel free to bring your chickens and a ball of twine so you can tether them together and keep them from wandering away!

(And if the courts have not seized them bring your guns to impress your indigent neighbors who might be tempted to make "pets" of your chickens.)

Apparently, a very high % across the US.

We may find out later this week or month.

It depends on what % or actually money each winery has/had deposited with this so called bank.

“People will buy all the available sleeping bags.”

With the PG&E bills setting records each month in California, good sleeping bags have become a need instead of a camping luxury item.

In the event you lose power and heat and you are still in your house, get a big tent (w/o stakes) for your living room and a smaller pop up tent inside that. Sleep in your sleeping bag inside your small tent. Your body heat should keep you warm and your need for additional heat should be minimal.

(Remember to turn off your water and drain down your water system or you will burst your pipes!)

Thanks. I passed your suggestions on to a younger relative living an area which gets a lot colder. They have the bags and smaller tents.

It really works. I remember doing that with my sister and folks in 1976 when we had a huge ice storm that shut down most of Wisconsin. He put all the furniture along the walls and Dad set up ‘camp’ in the Family Room. It faced South and had huge windows, so it was warm all day and well into the evening. One tent for them and one for me & Sis and the dog. Pads, sleeping bags and blankets on top. We didn’t have power for about a week and it was sub-zero outside. The WORST part? Being a 16 year old girl WITH NO TELEPHONE!

I’m surprised I survived! *SMIRK*

He set up a camping bucket toilet for us in his basement shop area. I mean, Dad was PREPARED!

If we wanted to go across the street to the neighbors, you had to crawl on hands and knees because everything was coated in ice. I remember our beautiful Birch tree losing one of her three ‘trunks.’ That must be why I’m a tree-hugger, LOL!

Meat was going to spoil in the freezer, so he set up the charcoal BBQ and started grilling. We lived and ate like KINGS that week, I tells ya! ;)

And weren’t those fun times! (Unlike these....)

And this year I purchased a second Mr. Buddy propane heater so I would not have to worry about a double tent like the last time I spent 10 days in the dark. (And three school age girls at the time! )

I used to listen to Dave Ramsey until it became depressing. I can’t imagine being in the financial hell hole that some people are in.

Luckily, the only debt I ever really had was whatever farm/home I owned at the time. I do love the ‘We’re Debt Free!’ calls/clips for inspiring others. :)

The FIRST thing to do when you’re in a financial hole is to STOP DIGGING! People miss that part until it’s too late. :(
