Hyperinflation and what to do about it

So the Fed is printing money again, and just monetized our debt, so who thinks inflation is not coming? Well if you think that then I have some things to sell you. lol....
Really inflation is coming if not hyperinflation (inflation of over 100% over the course of 3 or more years). All the signs are there, so what can we do about it? Good question, this may help:

What can we do to survive a period of hyperinflation?

One, make up your mind that you will survive. Make up your mind that you will not fight the predominant trend. You do not do your country nor your family any service by being broke. Since hyperinflation is basically a collapse in confidence of the value of a nation’s currency what we need to do is think of assets that might retain their value against a depreciating currency.
These assets might be gold, silver, art, diamonds, antiques, religious artifacts and farmland. Now farmland may seem like an odd one, but imagine that most people live in cities. Those cities are entirely non-self supportive. These populations are only able to feed themselves because of their ability to offer dollars for food. If those dollars had no value, then they would be in a position of not being able to eat. So one’s ability to grow their own food is a pretty valuable asset, lest people start eating their neighbors.

So think about what you are going to do when this happens, no think about what you are going to do now to prepare yourself and or your family for the events that will happen.

Start storing needed food, supplies, water, ammunition and any other thing that you might need. It does not hurt to be a little prepared even if things do not get that bad. But if they do where would you rather be? Amongst the crowd that said oh do not worry things are fine, or with the people who know it is not a bad thing to be a little prepared.

Like the Boy Scouts say "Be Prepared"!

Food Storage

Having a food storage for your family is always a good idea in troubled times and good. What do you do if you loose your job, get snowed in, disaster strikes, etc...? Well if you have a little or a lot of extra food stored then you just go about your business and your family is taken care of and you have the ability to help others in need.
With the economy and job market the way it is today I really think this is one of the most important investments you can make for you and your family.
Also food storage is just a general term for emergency supplies not just food, but all the things you will need to live on if you cannot get to supplies or afford them.

If you are on board with this idea then the question becomes how much food storage is necessary? Well I believe it is a good idea to have a year of food for every person in your family, of course this takes some time to build up too and some money also. But imagine the peace of mind that you will have when you have it? Wow that would feel so good and you would know that your family would be able to take care of it's self no matter what happened.

Here is what my faith says about food storage:

"Our Heavenly Father created this beautiful earth, with all its abundance, for our benefit and use. His purpose is to provide for our needs as we walk in faith and obedience. He has lovingly commanded us to “prepare every needful thing” so that, should adversity come, we can care for ourselves and our neighbors and support bishops as they care for others.

"We encourage members world-wide to prepare for adversity in life by having a basic supply of food and water and some money in savings.

"We ask that you be wise as you store food and water and build your savings. Do not go to extremes; it is not prudent, for example, to go into debt to establish your food storage all at once. With careful planning, you can, over time, establish a home storage supply and a financial reserve."
