It’s going to get much worse. At this point we cannot rule out hyperinflation. If you would have a doomsday clock for hyperinflation it would be at 2 minutes until midnight and entire world is screwed if we go into hyperinflation.

I wouldn't put it at 2 minutes to midnight, we are still near 5 minutes... We haven't even gotten close to full fuckery yet.

Bring on hyperinflation - let’s rip the bandaid off quickly. I only have about 1-2 years of stockpile.

Price update: We are soooooooo fucked.

Flooring we were looking at that was $5.20 a sq. ft. LAST WEEK is now $5.99.

I have a feeling we are going to see price increases in even larger chunks, coming in at faster rates. Instead of increases of 5% a quarter, we'll just get 8% a month.

Price update on this. As of 2 weeks ago the price went up again, this time to $6.09. We got in at that price. This week it's up yet again to $6.29.

That's $5.20 to $6.29 within 60 days. Guy who owns the store says he's trying to eat as much cost as possible to keep prices down, but increases are still coming.

Another personal encounter to share.

I only use FB for buy/sell/trade groups now. A couple I have been a part of for a while now are seeing a big spike in people trying to sell along with a big drop in people willing to buy. Sales on "like to have" items are already coming to a halt. People are hurting and/or spooked and are giving up on the "fun" purchases.

People on the edge are quickly going to go over. Some may already be past it. Panic is about to set in for them, which will creep up into the middle class real quick.

A part for my car was $70 last year and I had to pay $145 yesterday.

A car repair of mine (patching a muffler) cost $650... $600 was labor.

Yep, local Craigslist same. Boats and Motorcycles always go first.
Bargains will be there for the next year or more.

I'm gonna look pretty good in a nice fishing boat some over extended soul is going to have to sell.

I’m lurking around for cheap golf clubs
