>>>Yeah, that’s what I am asking. ABOUT how much time do we have? We have the some of the smartest people here on this forum, so we should be able to point to a few measures or websites that monitor this stuff. For example, is there some measure like money supply, financial calculations. Surely, the people in Iceland, Argentina, and Rhodesia could have worked at finding some advance notice of the pain before it fully impacted them. Why can’t we?<<<<
Don’t think you will find any billboards with the countdown - XXXX Index at 50 - If it drops one more point - we will collapse...
Back in November 2006, I had time to really evaluate the situation at hand (having spent the summer trying to get a broken leg to heal) and decided to move diversified 401k’s (mine and wife’s) to Guaranteed Bonds. So, I only averaged about 4.5% for the last 2 years - better than if I had not. So, it was then that I also figured it was time to seriously put my skills and knowledge into active status. Have been preparing not only by stockpiling, but by building to produce full variety of food products and actively utilizing them.
My hazy crystal ball - Hmmmmm Sure looks like the end of this quarter is going to be a breaking point. I am preparing for that deadline! Hoping to help some fellow FReepers along too. (As well as our family - Including extended members.)
Now I better get back to planting those tomatoes, cabbage, broccoli, onion and other seeds. 1 1/2 acre garden takes lots of plants and seeds...
Oooops almost forgot - Welcome to the thread - share more with us...
Thanks for the reply on the freeze/thaw issue. We decided to wait for the Spring to transport the canned goods. Big reservations on doing it now as we’re talking about 6+ full pallets worth... Tai’nt worth the gamble on losing a bunch of it! I’ve a full load as it is... and miles to go!

End of the quarter will be close, as from that point, we will see high school and college students out and wanting a job, the same one you want.
Steve0, I hit send, before I also said welcome to the thread.
