Are We Prepared for a Currency Crisis?

With so much talk about the upcoming currency crisis that has been predicted to be the worst that we have ever experienced, and that will last for many decades, my thoughts turned to my clients, many of whom will not survive it because they won’t be prepared for it. In the Great Depression and the various recessions, we’ve seen bank failures, the stock market collapse, and mortgage failures, but we’ve never seen the total collapse of our currency, and that’s …

Why do I think there are so many wonderful benefits of old age? Well, for one thing, I can say and do almost anything I want and no one will think anything of it. I can make an off-color comment and no one will think it’s a come-on. No wife will think that I’m trying to entice her husband and no man will feel intimidated or take it as encouragement that I’m looking for sex. At my age, everyone will …

We’ve always heard the saying that one man’s treasure is another man’s junk or one man’s junk is another man’s treasure. And if you’ll look at all the garage sales and estate sales, you’ll see just how true it is.

We seem to be living in a world that is dominated by people who deny reality by wearing rose-colored glasses when they look at their looming financial problems. It’s as if they don’t see what’s in front of them or choose not to see them. It’s almost like walking around the elephant in the room so they don’t bump into it and have to deal with it. When bills pile up and they don’t have the money to pay them, …

When I was young, my mother used to tell me that I was wishing my life away because I always wanted to be older. It wasn’t just that I wanted to be older, I wanted the privileges that went along with being older. When I was twelve, I wanted to be thirteen so that I could be a teenager. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be twenty-one so that I could get a driver’s license and vote. During …

We have all known people who can never get enough of anything. No matter how much you give them, it’s never enough. They always want more of everything. It doesn’t matter what it is, whether it’s material goods or everything of yourself, it’s never enough and they keep wanting more. For the most part, these people are selfish and inconsiderate. Some dress it up so that they are always smiling and saying thank you, thank you, thank you but, the …

Admittedly, I’m not very tech savvy. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say that I’m a technodummy. So, why am I suddenly interested in Cloud? Basically, I think I’m interested in it because everyone I know is storing their data in it. I’m usually behind the times when it comes to technology and this is one of those times. I’ve been afraid of the Cloud technology ever since it came out. My worries centered on the fact …

I remember a book that came out in 1953 called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury about the censorship of books. It told the story of how books were being burned to stifle intellectual freedom. It was very graphic and it came out at a time when schools were trying to ban books in their libraries even though they were in violation of the First Amendment to the United States’ Constitution. There were many schools that were trying to take classics …

There’s an old saying, “What goes around, comes around” and, while most people are familiar with the saying, they are always surprised by the negative things that happen to them. To me, it’s not surprising at all. I see people taking advantage of other people so it makes sense to me that these people will have others take advantage of them. I also see these same people feeling like victims when the people they took advantage of, suddenly leaves them …

I never thought that I would like to get my books from an online bookstore, but I do. It used to be that I’d go into a small bookstore and get to know their inventory better than the people who worked there. In fact, there was never a bookstore that didn’t offer me a job because whenever a customer asked about a book, I had already read it and I could tell them whether they would enjoy it or if …
