I onced asked my grandfather what it was like living thru the depression. At the time he owned a country pub.
This is what he said.... "If you knew(& had the money) that a new car next year would definitely be less than a new car this year... what would you do?" ----------- That was when gold was money. The game has changed. I suspect you will be telling your grandchildren, "If you knew that your money would definately be worth 30% less next year... what would you do?"
