    Our economy is being broken deliberately. Our leaders have been making very reckless decisions for a long time, and now we all get to suffer the consequences. Given the pace at which things are spinning out of control, within a few short months we may find ourselves in the middle of a deep recession, a stock market meltdown, and a housing crash that'll be unlike anything we've ever seen. what moves can we make to generate more income because I can’t afford to see my savings of about $320k turn to dust

    When I was in high school circa 1990, one of my friends went on a school trip to Poland. They were having a slightly less epic hyperinflation event at the time (they ended up doing a 10,000-to-1 redenomination of the złoty a few years later), and I remember my friend came back with a 1-million-złoty bill. It wasn't _completely_ worthless, but at the exchange rate in effect at the time he was there, it had cost him something like $20, which he figured was worth it to be able to tell people he was a millionaire. :)

    • @alewis514
      @alewis514 Год назад +3

      i am from Poland and barely remember this period as i was just a few years old. New banknotes started appearing in 1994 but old ones were legal tenders until about 1998 I think (with their 1:10000 conversion ratio). Hyperinflation was stopped in about 1992-3, it remained in double digits until 2000-ish but it was a far cry from 1989-1990 craziness. Even though getting salaries in the millions (a common salary in mid-1990's was about 10 million old PLN or 1000 new PLN) was pretty short-lived people got used to it and liked it. They were often expressing their income / spending in millions well into the 2000's.
      The bad side of high inflation was running out of money before you'll receive your next paycheck. Normally people were used to living on a monthly wage and could plan their spending, but when this inflation came into place this was no longer possible. You realized that it's still 10 days to next paycheck and you ran out of money. You have nothing left, not even for a single pack of cigs or loaf of bread. People started demanding employers to pay them twice a month or even once a week. At least we didn't reached completely uncontrolled inflation levels like Germany in 1923 or Hungary in 1946. In those cases prices were doubling every few hours. Currency was completely useless and people were paid in raw goods instead.

He went to local exchange office to sell some 50 West German Marks (this was in like eighties). My aunt told him, he absolutely has to take something to carry his money around. Like a plastic bag... or three. Well, she was right. Dad claims to this day, to have brought back about fifteen kilo worth of money.

In total, they cancelled 12 0's, but we some how still managed to get to those crazy large denominations.

      Oh and to @Unbeatable gaming. The reason why most people understand a lot from youtube but not from their class is because of attention and willingness. You never understand your teacher because you are not interested in going to school. RUclips is an entertainment for you. Thus making you easily accept the lectures even for just a few minutes video. You clicked this video. Not this video trying to lecture you. You want an explanation. Not trying to be explained at. It is as easy as that. That is why going online is one of the easiest way for you to study. Entertainment + knowledge.

    This is really good!! Specificially the part where you said that hyperinflation specificially happens when the amount of money risings when the number of assets or goods don't. Some economics channels miss that!!
    If you assign the money a task on the board then its value doesn't fall, this when economic stimuluses work, as long as that is in your country and not to pay debts to other countries, and then you end up like the Wemiar Republic.
