The joke ain’t on me. A whole bunch of that clutter is actually worth more money now than it was when I bought it.
Inflation works both ways.
aint that the truth.

Think about this; everything you have around you can be used for some purpose. That’s why you bought it. Somebody gave you that stuff in exchange for worthless paper. And to earn that worthless paper, you had to go hang out someplace and spend your time doing things that (hopefully) you enjoyed doing any way. I don’t know about you guys, but I feel like I got the better end of the deal (most times).
It all depends on your point of view. When the SHTF happens, all that stuff will have more value than money. Heck, already happening with runaway inflation.
The way I see it, when car parts and components to repair stuff vanish from the market, I will have a trove to mine for those who really need and deserve such support.
Keep on hoarding folks, it is a safety net when money loses value. And I know whereof I speak. Lived in Argentina when the price of food was posted with a letter code. The merchants posted a conversion table to the U.S. dollar linked to the code and local currency daily. A half pound of ham increased in local currency cost every day. Not month, DAY,
Of course, this was in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s when the U.S. dollar was stable. Guess we will have to post food prices in U.S. with tables to convert to the spot price of gold or the Swiss Franc soon.
