Understood. I was just rephrasing.
“In the end, you realize - we are soooooo screwed, so why bother - there is nothing you can do but watch. “
Yes, we are pretty screwed. About the only thing you can do is convert the play money into real goods, food, ammo, gold and silver, and hope it is enough to make it though the coming economic whirlwind.
And some cash for a bank holiday!!!!
Been doing that for years.
You forgot - Get out of debt!
Other than helping birth my onw children (and grandkids) having the banker lady hand the paper and say - “You sir are now a home owner!” had to be one of the happier days in my life. This was some time ago.
Other than the house, we have been debt free (other than the usual end of month utilites, etc) since 1983. And now are totally debt free.
It is a great feeling, to say the least.
