Sigh. I have read them all. It will be far worse than any imagined and we will have to do what was done in the generation before mine...in the thirties. So start saving anything extra...reusing what you have and doing without. It is going to be tough. I hope it brings out some good traits in everyone they didn't know they had and makes people rethink things about large families and wasting money on things not necessary...and taking care of their own and expecting their own to work hard and do without too.
It will be difficult to say the least and there are no easy or simple answers. The government may need to do things like the New Deal to employ people.
My generation will suffer a lot if they don't have savings that are safe. Everyone will suffer. Now is not the time to spend money on foolishness.
