The international debt crisis brings with it steep drops in currency value, drastically rising commodity prices, and the promise of overall runaway inflation. That means the same amount of money buys much less, and to buy the same amount of stuff as before, you need a lot more money. Our federal government solves this problem by printing more and more money with reckless abandon, which fuels an acceleration of the process. It’s a vicious cycle, with everyone and everything in its wake being impacted. I know it sounds bad, but there is a really big advantage to the increased devaluation of our currency.
How many times have you seen someone in a movie picking up handfuls of cash and throwing up in the air to rain back down upon their heads and wished it was you? How many times have you seen a character in a heist movie (or whatever) take off all their clothes and roll around on a queen-sized bed covered in cash made up of bills in large denominations and said to yourself: “Wow! I wish I could do that!” Well, with the downward spiral of currency values due to the international financial crises and irresponsible government spending, pretty soon you can do it! (See? Dreams can come true after all!)
So the next time you start to worry about hyper-inflation, sputtering markets, the crushing weight of government debt or currency devaluation, just remember: these are the keys which will unlock your fantasy of being able to roll around on a pile of money! Then you can throw handful after handful of cash up into the air and let it rain down on you like you’re a cartoon billionaire! (Try doing that with gold! Ouch!) And when you’ve achieved that dream, you can dump it all into a wheelbarrow and take it to the store to buy food for your family!
