I’m no longer worried about another Depression. We’re already there. The fear is gone, now it’s just a matter of dealing with the consequences.

We readied for the consequences two years ago when we set on a course to become debt free. In June we will be there.

Also, we changed our buying habbits, especially for food. We started buying in lots when food items are on sale (non-perishables). That has saved heaps of money.

Same here, BJ. When coffee was on sale, for less than half price, I bought plenty. When flour, yeast, sugar, oil, and butter was on sale, I bought plenty. (Froze the butter.)

Right now, Walgreen’s has corned beef, roast beef, ham and (ugh) spam on sale for $2. Time to stock up on protein sales. (I have canned chicken and tuna crammed into the pantry.)

Does anyone know if it’s a good idea to take my money out of the bank?
