Obviously, supply and demand is reeking havoc on building materials and equipment such as John Deere, Stihl etc.
The government is printing money like a drunken democrat. Money that is totally unbacked by the exchange of labor... that process is absolutely equal to inflation.
I see inflation starting up everywhere near me...
Local eggs... building materials... I have even heard ammo is more expensive for some calibers...
Where do y'all thing we will be in 6-12 months?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Great question. Personally I am sitting on cash and I have no clue as to what to do with it. Expand business, markets, rentals? Need to get it working.

Really do not know. But around here we trade a lot barn needs taken down we all take it down nothing left but dirt. Next I have a new wood shed. Boys next door have a tree house/deer blind. So if I need meat I take a few jars of honey and some eggs I am having a roast for a few days. Really will not be much of a change.

We need to see what oil does. I’ve heard oil going for 120 a barrel by the end of next years first quarter.

I know where I'll be.
I don't know where inflation, national deficit, the dollar and the market will be.

Assumed debt finally cleared in six months, then I gotta decide if I want to sell the house as is, or keep it, continue to bite the bullet, pay it off in a year and a half, and have the whole thing redone.

I still have restaurant customers closing up shop, and I expect that to continue until at least the elections. Just bumping along until then. If Trump loses, it’ll keep barely rocking along for the next 4 years while every government agency that was reigned in Under Trump unleashes their frustration on the American business world, making the pandemic shutdown look like a walk in the park.

The only inflation we’re seeing is building materials that are now somewhat aggravated by hurricane Laura. John Deere dealers, et. alia appears to be well stocked with the exception of standby generators.
The only other actual, real inflation noticed is the amount of Chicken Littles’ hyped opinions here at The Campfire.
No money worries or concerns.
This, too, shall pass.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.

I have been in savings mode for the past few months. Its a discipline like losing weight or working out, once you get into it and make it a priority it kind of takes on a life of its own.
It helps that I'm on lockdown with Covid-19 and vacations are canceled. But I'm also holding off on other big purchases. If things continue at the pace I'm on now for another 12-18 months, I'll have some flexibility to change living locations. I'm going to wait and see what the new normal is on working from home as I suspect no one is going to go back to the office.

if i can remain employed at my pharmacy job, I should be doing just fine and semi-retire at 60 (57.5 now). In the pharmacy job market, that is not a surety, though.
If I cannot remain in my current job, I will still be ok living off my savings and doing fill in rph work along with my preaching gig.
