Not trying to BS about being rich not even hinting but were in that.....we get by ok....category. We could have anything we wanted within reason. Never any thoughts about ....how much is it?.....so to have to have to play that ALL OF A SUDDEN is a shock to the system.

Hell the Dollar Tree and Dollar General are lying, nothing in there is a buck.

Will miss....

KFC
Taco Bell
Long John Silvers
Burger King
Jack In The Box



Will knock off my whiskey so my dogs can have the expensive stuff, things ya do for your loved ones.

I haven’t looked at gas prices in 10+ years. I just don’t drive much. I keep most of my money in crypto and keep lots of ammo.

I have 2 vehicles fill both tanks up and I have enough gas to last a lil over 2 months since we retired our cost of living went way down. House both cars and everything we have is paid for we have nothing that is financed. And we have no credit cards We went into survival mode before we retired

If I were in your situation, I would finance everything as long as possible. Interest is cheap. I also don’t have any children, so I don’t mind dying with debt. My dad recently got a 30 year loan on a house and he’s 70 years old. Good luck to the bank on that one.

When I retired there was a steep learning curve adjusting to a fixed income.

I finally found a retirement planning program that helps you figure out how much you can spend each year and not run out of money. It turned out to be much more than I thought. Now if we need something I just check our budget spreadsheet and see if it will put us in a bind.

We stock up on food that we eat and also buy bulk. I've had some health issues so I really try to eat has healthy as I can as affordably as I can.

After the flash crash I didn't trust the the stock market so I took the money and invested in solar panels. Since then the price for KW hours has gone up significantly.

My Honda is paid for but when it comes time to be replaced it will be an EV.

Top Shelf Liquor

HA, had ya going there for a minute, didn't I?

When gas gets too expensive, I will cut down on trips to the liquor store and just buy more on the less frequent visits. But it will be top shelf. And I will find sadder songs on the radio to keep me in the vehicle less. I may just loop Booby Goldsboro's "Honey". "And Honey I miss you and I'm bein' good". They just don't write them like that anymore, thankfully.

Hopefully after the great reset there will not be debters work camps, where people do slave labor until they die to pay off debts from the old world banking systems

It might be part of Executive Order 13603, which was a setup for a future president.

haha, who knows

Food
Water
Guns
Ammo

All countries end. When this one winds down, those things are all that will matter. When will it happen? Could be tomorrow, could be 500 yrs from now.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist at all, but a simple perusal of history will show you this.

We are too far spread out, short on resources, corrupt leaders, and we are not raising little americans anymore. We are following the roman playbook

Times are getting hard as we all know. Reminds me of the stories my granny would talk about back in the depression. Just yesterday it cost me 90 bucks to fill up my tank (Toyota T100 truck) that is my new PR when it comes to gas.

So here is what goes....

fast food
mouth wash
paper plates
yard sales
paper towels
expensive dog food
Jack Daneils whiskey, hello....Kesslers
If we need something we try to wait until we need a lot of stuff so it takes one trip.
no more movies
every dime is now important no more.......ya want it buy it.....that is over for right now.

I do have tons of Hard Times blues, so I'm set there. Tons of books to read.

It's a weird world isn't it? How many times have you.....are you kidding me....in the last week?

Don’t buy cheap dog food. Do the research. You’re going to kill your dog. Give up something else.

 

[Creeper]

back in 2015-2017 time frame, I had been listening to the U.N. agenda's and other policy making groups like them. They were talking about how there would be food shortages, and a major rise in food costs in the early 2020's. I thought a lot about it, and wondered how they could know something like that so far ahead in time. It was beyond calculating grain shortages and the like. I have watched and listened to policies and events since then, and I am convinced these groups make long term plans, and implement them step by step. As Shakespeare said, the world is a giant stage. I have also been in extremely heavy Biblical studies + the relation to secular history since that time, which i will not get into on here, but to say that these long term plans span generations going as far back in history as we know about, if the history we get is even true. And it all goes back to the same groups

If you listen to groups now like the world economic forum, the U.N., etc, watch the technological control system in China that is spreading to other countries, and etc, they tell you what is being implemented. I think the current U.N. agenda is 2030, Klaus Scwaub and the world economic forum agenda is around 2030. They say stuff like, " by 2030 you will own nothing, and like it" The biggest owners of farmland in the US is bill gates and china. Gates and others are big into fake meat and all that crap. They are genetically engineering our food,and regulating good healthy food production. They are moving towards owning the air we breath, water, soil, and minerals.

All this being said, I think there is a step by step plan including current events and events of the past 2 years, to bring in a new economical and technological control systems, a new order of things. If you look at our own country, when they have those periodic scares of the government shutting down, it is because they can not pay the interest on the debt. Anytime you see these new billion/trillion dollar plans coming out, that money does not exist. The federal reserve is printing fake money, and flooding the m1 money supply. It is all a show. The past few years we have heard that the pandemic, supply line, truckers, ukraine/russia are all responspible for inflation. But not 1 thing about the Federal Reserve

I have started my planning to adjust to rising costs by buying meat in bulk during sales, and cooking large soups, stews, and chilis. 5 times the size I used to. I am starting to can meats and the big pots of stuff, and using vacuum sealers. I have also been contemplating buying a hand mill, and getting grains in bulk. By doing this i can eat completely organic meals from 3-6 dollars a meal. I am new to this, and still working it out for long term use, but if I stop eating junk and eating out, it looks like I can eat cheaper and better than I did before the current inflation of the last 2years.

I can't do anything about gas, but as pete buttewhatever said in relation to being energy independent, "they don't want a permanent solution to the temporary problem" and removing all taxes on gas to lower prices will never happen either

I am not sure it is a food shortage as much as it is a labor shortage. But it could also be because we are importing so much food and other products.

I will demy myself before I cut my dogs short. They are not responsible for inflation.

4 or 5 days of the week my dogs eat better than I do.

Possibly the worst song I have in my library. It's part of a very good compilation album that I play...almost...all...the...way...to...the...end.

I'm assuming he means going from the highest quality, down to say, Purina One...not Joe's Dog and Goldfish Chow.
