Kids and adults today are totally unprepared mentally for this, nevermind they lack survival skills and any other basic skill for that matter.
Getting around your ipod shuffle is not like fending for yourself in the real world.
These people think food comes from the grocery store....
There is exactly 1.5 days worth of food in the stores....
ha. its mostly true. shit i remember (when gas went way up few years ago)
a canadian refinery had a fire..there were shortages of diesal, trucks were waiting at empty gas stations for resupply.
the trucks had our 'everythings' on them. 1 refinery, imagine if 2 went down :run:
*oil heating bill was 3K for the last year & prices went down during part of that!
However, inflation is lurking, and interest rates of 10-12% may become common practice in the years to come.
its here! gas over the last few years (record profits for them),
i also posted an article on here recently about how veg & cereal prices locally had risen 20% over last year!!
anyways we're doing veg garden this year at my famz, or going to try lol
so lets say you have some 5yr gic's coming due that were getting some weak ass'd 5%...
now they're offering what 3%? but everything like food, etc has risen 20% or higher!
thats how inflation can destory & devalue your hard earned money or life savings
and the money you do make (if u still have a job) is worth less at the store
'destruction of the middle class' as lou dobbs & few others are heard saying
wish the 12% payout was here! in the early 90's banks were giving 10% on gic's!!
but that happens when they stop printing money & devaluing everything!
but as dubsta is pointing out, they Just started printing!!
