When Our Money Dies

 

Our money is dying: Dollars, Pounds, Euros, Loonies, Shekels, Rand; all of it.

Here's a health chart:

 

 

 

Health chart is US Dollars, but similar decline for all Western currencies.

 

I'm not worried about me dying.

What worries me is my money dies before I do.

Bank account will still have some numbers.

Pension will transfer in every month.

But won't buy much of anything here.

Or anywhere.

 

Among my fellow Americans, a "last ditch" job for oldsters is working as a "greeter" at Walmart.

Big-C doesn't have greeters.

Retired expats can't work anywhere here.

Not even poke-poke sohm-dtam at a little market stall.

So, as our fiat money dies, buying less and less of life's little necessities -- like food -- what will expats do?

 

Comments and critique welcome.

It IS the right way !!

Took a bit of effort to make it like that.

Think about it.

If still un-clear, ask here.

I or someone else will explain to you.

Sorry, @Smokin Joe, I appreciate your effort, but the original post is the correct presentation for money dying.

 

This topic is about money dying before we old expats die.

The funny chart is merely a visual indicator of that.

The chart isn't the topic.

Yes control of money and products is part of most totalitarian regimes.  Slowly slowly catch a monkey.

 

Yes you can use your Digital Wallet and buy three sachets of government issue coffee.  Move along comrade.

Yes, yes, I expect all of the sober readers here already know that.

 

So, @Chris Daley, what are you planning to do?

The only correct thing, is very hard to find here. Money is not dying, and you posted the graph upside down, End of!

Side note for you: Please don´t do any investments over 50 euro, without asking people with knowledge. 🤣

What do you expect?

 

Cash is going to zero.

I am more concerned with the possibility of a fast and immediate crash if the USA dissolves into crazy conflict where the banks are forced to shutter... and the SS stops sending out checks...

Yes, another likely problem, and very serious.

 

But the OP on this thread goes much, much deeper than that.
