Well, lately, they are doing the electronic equivalent of just running
the printing presses. And the world is noticing- the exchange rates

That would be an improvement over the insane borrowing. Both devalue
the money, but the latter requires payback.

I predicted raging inflation a decade ago; how else can the U.S. deal

billion!
Remember that when your retirement plan sends you a check based on what
money is worth today, and a loaf of bread is fifty bucks....

If you're investing in stock, especially foreign stocks, that should
actually work out OK for you.

If you have some other kind of plan... well...

Careful, living on the Right Side of The Pond, I invested on the Left Side
as I thought that the £ was on the way down internationally (as it was). My
original investments on the Left Side were doing well until the crunch. I
had too much in banks, Lehman in particular. That one cost me more than an
average new auto.

Well, yeah, that's the trick. if you're trying to offset a currency
that's going down by investing in a currency that's going up, or at
least not going down as much, you have to get it right.

....and if you're going to ask advice on that, you probably want to ask
someone more tapped in than I...

Some of your portfolio should be in gold, ammo and MREs

Gold is useful only if there is a functioning economy that considers gold

I have never understood how gold held by dealer is going to do you any
good if the reason the dealer is selling it (econ collapse) comes about.


Ammo and MREs are useful to tide you over until you get your first crop in.
But
to do that, you also need farming tools, seed, arable land, and farming
skills.


Just break into your nearest hardware and you will get everything
you need for a personal plot. Since, if The End Comes parks, great
expanses of green around building, etc. will suddenly become available,
I think the land part is largely a non-issue.. outside of the deserts of
course.
