When I was a kid we lived on a farm raised our oun food only had meat on sunday and that was chicken. Couldnt kill off the chickens to fast wouldnt have any eggs and for get the cows no milk so we eat a lot of vegs. Went to work in the garden at 5 years old. (5 acer garden) My parents didnt have much and held on to everything they got. My dad would tell stories of emptying a coal rail car for a dollar just to help buy food,him and another man.Wonder if it could go back to that, if our money becomes waste paper. Read about what happened in Germany after the first world war that would scare anyone. The young people today have never seen hard hard times and dont understand what could happen. I hope some how the world gets it back together. We sure are lucky today. So far
