Around here I see more commercial property for lease and for sale than stores open for business. Also, the majority of homes for sale 2 years ago are still on the market today. Theres many unemployed people but our social welfare system masks the effects, at least in the short term. It's at least in...

And fatal. I cringe watching the Doomsday Preppers run there mock scenarios only to fail miserably. One episode in particular was of the Mt St Helens family that thought they could pack up their whole farm in under an hour and escape the volcanic ash cloud.

IMHO the only thing that could launch us into sudden hyperinflation right now -without warning- is World War 3 or a disaster on a similar scale. A collapsing economy will first cause assets and commodities (gold, oil, real estate etc...) to initially fall. then as the beast grinds to a halt the lack...

Me too. But none of us will ever be as prepared as we'd like. Just gotta make the most with the time given to us and cherish what we're blessed with.
