<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fools_gold, post: 1030552, member: 20669&quot;]Not gonna work. They know about inflation, they know gold is expensive, it&#039;s just one of those things, we are soooo conditioned to love our U.S. dollars, little old me isn&#039;t going to change that. That&#039;s why I wanted people to chime in on their thoughts about the pyschology of our U.S. dollars. Why it&#039;s so hard to get away from them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think we as a society are obsessed with the dollar count.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at your bank account and it shows $50,000. It feels nice. It looks nice. And you feel like you have saved a lot. Even if someone tells you inflation is 10%, and now your McD&#039;s combo meal costs $8 now, it just doesn&#039;t feel bad to see that $50,000 in your account.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone understand what I mean? We joke about Zimbabwe, we know they have trillion dollar &quot;dollars&quot;. And I think we aren&#039;t far enough into the ditch to feel that our dollars are useless. So $50,000 still feels niiiiice.....but it is a facade......</p><p><br /></p><p>So that&#039;s what I&#039;m hoping we can discuss here. The pyschology, the thought process behind our society......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
