What Do Dollars, Debt and Age Have In Common?

Donna Partow — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 07:03:22 +0000

According to Robert Kiyosaki, author of The Conspiracy of the Rich, at least three major crises are brewing in our economy: Dollars, Debt and Age

1. The Dollar Crisis

“In the United States, the Federal Reserve Bank has printed more money in the last 18 months than in the previous 200 years! This means workers and savers of the world are in trouble.”- Michael Maloney, Rich Dad Advisor/Precious Metals expert

“The global situation is deteriorating rapidly. Since 1971, the dollar has lost 95% of it’s value. It will not take another 40 years to lose the remaining 5%. We must take action now.” - Richard Duncan, former specialist for the World Bank and consultant to International Monetary Fund

Our currency is being devalued and a period of hyper-inflation looms on the horizon. Saving dollars is a foolish strategy, as they will dramatically lose their buying-power in coming years.

2. The Debt Crisis

“The U.S. national debt now exceeds the size of the economy. Congress, the Senate, and the President are trying to borrow and spend their way out of debt. There is no possible way to pay off this level of debt without a devaluation of the U.S. dollar.”- Michael Maloney

Robert Kiyosaki reports from a recent gathering of economists in Europe, that 100 years of research has uncovered the Point of No Return in an economy occurs at a very specific point. It’s when:

Debt exceeds 73 percent of GDP

Debt exceeds 230 percent of external exports.

You should be alarmed to hear that in the United States:

United States debt stands at 96 percent of GDP

United States debt now exceeds 748 percent of external exports.

In other words, our economy is far beyond the point of no return.

3. Age Crisis

There are not enough wage earners/tax payers to sustain the Baby Boomers retirement expectations. “For millions of baby boomers around the world there will be no golden age of retirement.”- Robert Kiyosaki

Be sure to read Robert Kiyosaki’s new book, The Conspiracy of the Rich and visit his information-packed website of the same name: www.conspiracyoftherich.com Practically speaking, what will be of value when the dollar is worthless? Consider investing in these:

Food

Water

Alternative ways of generating power

Emergency supplies

Commodities

Silver/Gold

Anything related to protecting property or people (I did try to breed my German Shepherd, but it didn’t work out….not a bad idea, though)

Anything related to Neo-Survivalism. For example, I have chosen to plant a year-round square-foot garden and purchased a supply of emergency food.

Think about the implications of all of this for possible home business ideas. Anything related to independent living is worth considering.

Trend Alert: Not Made In China

“A Buy Local/My Country First backlash will be the first sign of what we forecast will become a massive, circle-the-wagons movement. We forecast a Not Made in China consumer crusade that will spread among developed nations, leading to trade wars and protectionism.

Craftspeople and small manufacturers that can establish a reputation for quality products will be able to build thriving micro-brands, while marketers who can amalgamate micro-cooperatives into true local commerce organizations will carve a solid niche for themselves……” *

Can you see some ideas for a thriving home business based on this predicted trend?

Trend Alert: Neo-Survivalism

Donna Partow — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:19:02 +0000

“In 2010, survivalism will go mainstream. Unemployed or fearing it, foreclosed or nearing it, pensions lost and savings gone, all sorts of folk who once believed in the system have lost their faith.

Motivated not by worst-case scenario fears but by do-or-die necessity, the new non-believers, unwilling to go under or live on the streets, will devise ingenious stratagems to beat the system, get off the grid (as much as possible), and stay under the radar……” *

I purchased a 3-month supply of freeze dried food, guaranteed to last for 25 years, through Daily Bread. May sound a little crazy but hey, I really do have piece of mind knowing that if there is a food shortage—for whatever reason—our family has a back-up plan.

Also, think about ways you might be able to capitalize on this growing trend. Can you see an idea for a successful home business based on this trend?
