The first thing anyone must learn is to NOT use the dollar as a basis of comparison during a "what if" situation. It is the DOLLAR that fluctuates in purchasing power; not gold! That fluctuation always means taking more dollars to buy the same thing - like food. It's not the food increasing in price, it's the dollar losing its purchasing power.

That really helps in making decisions for an inflationary scenario. Read about what id happening in Venezuela now; a perfect example of money being destroyed.

Thanks again for weighing in 😎 I appreciate it!
