just how dangerous is cash?

[faterikcartman]

I think it is inevitable that it will be in the government’s interest to devalue the dollar to pay back China with cheap money.

When the lent and printed money is actually spent and it floods the market each dollar’s value can’t help but be worth less as more dollars vie for the same pool of goods and services.

*WHEN* this happens, is the $20 trillion question, however, and I don’t have the answer, though I wish I did.

Even in recent months much money has been loaned/given/forgiven to many institutions but they have not done anything with the money so I don’t think we’ve seen any effects.

The uncertainty of future regulatory and tax burdens doesn’t help. And why, for example, would a bank risk money to make money in interest by lending when the government is keen to prop up their balance sheets without taking any risks?

Anyway, I’m afraid of being caught cash heavy — which is where we are now — and hope to buy sooner, rather than later.

But really, who knows what’s going to happen these days? To me, the stock market should be going down, yet it keeps going up. Based on what, exactly, I’m not sure, but there it is.

Good luck.

I have the same concerns. All these years, working and saving, to finally have a little bit of cash. Then, have to worry that cash will be worthless. Thought about buying gold, but too scared to part with cash for gold, as thinking gold is in a bubble. Thought about buying land, but there are so many things that could wrong. Don’t have enough room for canned goods and guns, plus, the canned goods expire anyway. Thought about burying the cash around the house, but worried I wouldn’t find it again, or water would get in and ruin it. Thought about a safe, but nothing seems strong enough to ward off would be burglars. It is really a conundrum isn’t it?

scaredy, you are worried too much. Having cash is always better than not having cash and inflation will not happen over-night.
