Do you agree?

stock market crash
Here is the way hubby and I see it. They are now saying oil will be 200.00 a barrel by the end of the year so here is what everone needs to consider, and add your in put to. Get rid of all your extra's you can't afford, boats, jet skis, big trucks..etc. Buy and small car with good gas milage. If you live in the country this is good, if not find a friend that does and invest in a cow, chickens, pig, etc..for food, start a garden as soon as spring comes, can can can you veggies, butcher, and fill up the freezer. Down size what you can and have a Garage sale, put every penny you can in saving, but not in the bank. Lock up everything you can because people are going to become desprate for anything the can steal to sell. Put a lock cap on your gas tank in your car. Buy a bicycle and ride it whenever you can, put some baskets on it for groceries. Stop smoking, if you want alcohol, make it. Buy fans, and turn off the air when you can, put in a wood burning stove to save on gas...Hmm we should of been doing all this for the last 40 yrs...it's not to late to start, Hippy's trip back to the 60's music link got me to really thinking, I loved the 60's. So what can you add to my crash of the dollar post?

Jan, I have seen this coming or a long time. My girlfriends used to make fun of me because I would can and put things up and make bread BUT at least I knew how to do that and I still do. If we don't do something fast I really don't know what it is going to come down to. This country is in sad shape and JUST FOR ONE MONTH I would love to see our government eat BEANS and CORN BREAD they wouldn't survive!! It is sad that some people send their children to school hungry and the only place they eat is in school. I can remember the stories my dad used to tell us about them loosing their big home in 1929 and living out in the city park in a big tent and it looks like that is what it is going to come down to again. YOU THINK THEY WOULD HAVE LEARNED!!!!

On the other hand, maybe this non-recession will strengthen a people and a country that has become way too fat and lazy.

My hubby (David) has been saying ever since we got married that he'd love to start or live in a commune and I kinda have to agree with him. We're already downsizing everything and are doing container gardening of veggies. We've been discussing putting a locked gas cap on our vehicle, especially since finding it loosened the last time I stopped for gas.
I too would love to see everyone up there in DC eating rice, beans, and cornbread...they'd not last a day doing that!
