Get ready to barter
#1
When enough people wake up to the fact that currency is IOU's and money is Gold and Silver and inflation catches up to the insane level of play money printing, barter will be back in style so, go ahead and give it a try. Our parents and grandparents lived through the Great Depression and knew how to trade. My Grandfather paid off his farm in crops during WW2. He went to join up with his brothers and brothers in law not long after Pearl harbor, he was 32 years old. The recruiter told him that Uncle Sam needed him to farm for Victory and he did, growing hemp amongst other things. My Dad was worked pretty hard throughout the 1940's. My Dad and my Grandpa could haggle and trade in ways that, I now must learn. The Country Club isn't going to be the backbone of my income this year so, I'm looking at ways that I can trade my knowledge and labor into those things my family needs. The "Raleigh people" are going to be using their summer home more this year and they already have. People left on Sunday and I've got others coming in tomorrow. So as much as I hate cleaning houses, it looks like they will keep my busier this year. I'm gonna, finally, fix my pressure washer and see what I can do with that. Seeing as nobody likes cleaning windows, I might try and make that a sideline, what with people being inside and all. I just don't see wealthy Blowing Rockers out cleaning windows. Who knows, I just found out today about the Club and I haven't had much time to ponder the matter. One thing I do know is that I won't sit around and wait for the gubment to "do something".
