Still doubt the intensity of the winter? Thinking the prices will drop down for fuel, food, your cost of living?
I believe the chances for your home life to be impacted grow daily, not able to ignore the decline of America as world plummets into an economic storm that will destroy fragile households worldwide.
Some did not believe my forecasts in January of many storms coming to America. The reasons to downsize in advance of the masses running for the doors out of the debt from houses, cars, and other things they can no longer afford. Credit cards are getting shut down, the mortgage rates are rising, but more importantly, the refinance markets have hit the wall as the banks reconsider the values of real estate as it reaches the precipice, the cyclical fall after historic rises to prices most can not afford. When I wrote of these things in January there were many skeptics about the storms ahead, the possible war, and inflation like they have never seen. I must say, things are going on schedule and the smoke on the far horizon will be passing over us soon.
What next? Higher fuel costs to heat or cool big houses added to increased costs for all other things, especially food, thus the decline of the financial fortunes of the any while a few make millions with insider trading, with access to money from banks at nearly 0 interest rates that the average person can no access. They use that to buy up lumber, commodities, and futures in markets around the world, juggling the prices and controlling the inventories that will cause prices to climb before the distribute their stashes of food, fuel, and containers that are vital to the peaceful progress in solving the needs of the masses during this sun cycle that is affecting the weather and the populations around the world.
There is no escaping what is going on with the weather, volcanos, and earthquakes that are changing where people will live and grow food in the coming years. The geopolitical changes are going to be much more dramatic as the powers take advantage of their positions while they can grow. Will the world be able to stop the aggression of the countries that are flexing their muscles, shooting off missiles, destroying economies, and taking advantage of the suffering of others to strengthen the control of their populations and those that adjoin them? So what can you do? Change your life fast, downsize to be sure you can handle a decline without being wiped out financially.
Better to have a beautiful tiny house you can afford than a giant house you can not pay the taxes on, can not maintain, heat, cool, or sell when the banks stop loaning money with ease to people who should not be borrowing so much but do so as to feel better about themselves. The illusion that material wealth is equal to spiritual wealth, to personal health, to the family condition that makes happiness possible instead of suffering, illness, and fear brings on internal stress that will destroy the quality of life.
Time to make you move, to start taking action to be sure you can get through a decade of hard times financially for the world. We are going to have a Reset whether wii the people want it or not. What are you doing to buffer the impact of rising prices without rising incomes for the retired folks, the limited income population that can not just absorb the rising costs and survives with the food, heat, and health that all of Americans seem to think they are entitled to, whether they earn it or not. Yes, there is an entitled group in nearly all modern countries, a feeling that they deserve to be fed, housed, and taken care of at the expense of others, stealing from stores without conscience, robbing others who barely have more but work hard to keep their head above the floods of change that are destroying households across America.
What do wii, the people who are impacted unlike the elite who will barely feel the impacts of the economic pummeling, inflation taking out the last of the disposable income that allowed for so many restaurants, stores, and places to spend that which is seemingly becoming worthless, the US dollar buying less each day, with inflation rates of 7% a month, the costs of things by years end will be devastating, literally taking the toilet paper out of the hands of the masses who’s life is going to that same pot to be flushed if the solutions or moves to make them are not addressed soon. What are you doing? watching in denial as the sticker prices hit records for fuel, food, and anything that is vital for survival.
Time to downsize, and I do recommend building tiny houses, communities that will grow more food, care for the kids as the schools and hospitals require the shots or other health risking procedures to participate in education, church, or public transportation, international travel, or other common freedoms that are now lost. Mandates will not solve the problems coming at us, food rationing, fuel rationing, currency devaluation, and the other impacts our country has gone through in the past, cyclical or not, history tells us what can happen in this war laden world that is growing in the land and consequences of the Ukraine battles that are rapidly growing into a world war.
