    Hey, so I'm going to push back a little, respectfully. I don't know if money can become more expensive than it is right now. I think what you're describing is the normal cycle and it would be "healthy" for the US economy to endure a normal recession, but with public debt / private wealth at this level, I don't see how it's possible. We can't have an economic contraction without impacting the government's income (receipts), and they can't have a hit to receipts when uncle sam is on the hook for $1T in interest payments on debt alone--forget reducing principal. With a trade imbalance possibly shrinking from on-shoring manufacturing, that's less of that debt held internationally, and potentially a greater share held by domestic private (US banks and the wealthy) = lots of cash available domestically.

    I think, the dirty secret is, you don’t need all these big millions to retire on. You actually eat less, travel less, you take better care of yourself when you’re older because you won’t be killing yourself on a 12 hour shift daily. You know who gets that money? Doctors and big pharma…is that who you want to save up for? A liver pill? Live your life to the fullest, don’t worry about “retirement ” it’s a lie.

    The most important defense is having food storage. Inflation goes from inconvenient to deadly when the prices rise faster than you can keep up. Here are 5 inexpensive foods with 30-year shelf life: White rice, dried beans, oatmeal, pasta, and honey. Everyone should have at least one month food supply for their family.

    Actually the computer was not the only deflated prices. The way inflation is calculated is wrong by STATS. To properly calculate inflation one must also compare minimum wage and wage segments by type of work and the products that certain classes of people buy that other people can not. Example in 1984 milk at $1.94 and today at $4.00 but the reality is that wages today are more than double what they were back in 1984 thus the price of milk has gone down in relation to earnings. Just the opposite of where real inflation is when you compare Rental rates as well as the cost of vehicles as they rose faster than wages during the forty years.

      Milk was 69 cents a gallon in Muncie Indiana right before Covid pandemic. Several grocery stores were in fierce competition for months after Aldi rebuilt and Fresh Thyme moved into town along with Kroger buying up two existing stores. Add Walmart and Meijer and we got good deals for awhile. Eggs were 39¢ a dozen. Not anymore. Things went back up during Covid and really went up after Covid stimulus. How many people would give Thier stimulus checks back if prices were back to pre Covid levels?
