We're all gonna die! The cannibals & zombies R coming. The 50,000 watt firehose of money that is US is dead. Heaven forbid an asteroid hit Earth.
People first, then things, then dollars.
There will be enslavement, cannibalism, & zombie invasions.

Olaf- Sorry to hear that. A lady i know is down, well after today, maybe $150K since a week ago Monday... That could send all her grand kids through a state college.

Jason- Its amazing your dad listened to you. My mom got out back in 2000, but the rest of my family thinks i'm nuts whenever i bring anything even remotely pessimistic up about the future.
I've known something was going to happen a long time ago. Its why my wife and I have never had a cent in the market. We just buy what we want and put whatever in savings. U can only prepare so much for the future, and you need to enjoy today, because tomorrow you could get crushed by a semi.

Folks that jest about this can go Fark themsleves. This is not a game.

There's no sense getting all freaked out about it. What's gonna happen is gonna happen. Any psychologist will tell you that people laugh as a way of relieving tension. It's the reason that soldiers and medical people are always telling morbid jokes. If people around here can't joke about this stuff, they're gonna have a stroke or go postal or something. I seriously doubt anyone fails to understand how serious this is. Well...maybe Lorenzo. He's pretty clueless, but the rest of us get it.

Agreed. We "lost" about $30,000 back during the tech downturn--mainly because jobs were scarce and we used to to cover medical bills and living expenses (trying to keep out of debt). Now we're in debt by about 20K instead of having a 20K mutual fund.
On the bright side, I guess, even if we'd been able to keep it back then, we would've lost it now. I hear you, though. Believe me, I hear you.

Maybe hyperinflation will help eliminate your debt - That would help me, I've got some medical bills to deal with now thanks to my company switching to a crappy ppo.
