with the power of "what if" the situation is as follows....
-
you've been saving and being frugal, each month you've put money back for a rainy day.
your spouse is on board with you regarding preparedness. your larder is full, you have put away your beans for a year, bullets for 10 years, and a small pile of silver and gold coins.
every month you pay your bills and buy the necessities, a few extras, and add to your rainy day fund which now has $3000. in it. your job is very secure.
--
and your spouse keeps telling you that inflation is getting worse. you read on the internet, and see on tv and hear from your trusted financial advisors , that massive inflation is hitting and the purchasing power of the dollars that you worked so hard to save is about to disappear.
you've worked too hard to see this asset disappear. on your way home from work you hear on tcr (trusted Christian radio) that the germans, chineese, Indians, Russians, and consortium of arab states have just finished a big economic conference and have concluded that the $ will no longer be the "reserve cuurency."
the group spokesman reports that the u.s. will be in practical default by the end of the month.... cnn commentators are laughing about how ridiculous this is.
Obama is on tv announcing that the idea of America defaulting is entirely not possible.
when you get home... your wife has seen the same info... you decide you will go spend the 3,000 "while you still can!"
what will you buy?
and feel free to disclose another amount that (with the power of what if!) is your families magic number, and what your purchasing plan will include>
of course, we will all know that you are working with an imaginary number!!
and being a politically correct post, we all know that this could never happen in the u.s.a.
so this is a just pretend!
