As a person who lived 16 years in a country with hyper inflation (Brazil) during the 80’s and part of the 90’s I can tell this is NOTHING not even a tickle. This country and generation is gonna know what hyper inflation is. It’s coming. I remember eating snacks (chips, chocolate, soda, cookies etc) only once a month bc once my mother got her salary, she had to run and shop for the whole month on that day, preferably in the morning bc in the afternoon she wouldn’t be able to buy the same amount of items she could buy a few ours earlier so you can have an idea how fast hyper inflation deteriorated one’s buying power. The whole country had only 2 national paydays, so imagine the whole nation rushing to the stores on the same day. The stores where packed of people grabbing as much as they could and sometimes some products disappeared in minutes. I remember seeing shortages, infinite lines in the stores and at the registers, we used to spend hours in the lines sitting on the store’s floor and going back home exhausted. I remember having constant shortages of many essential items including meat, propane, gas, milk, you name it. Once in a while the government had to change our currency and cut the zeros as the number always sounded too high and also couldn’t fit on a bill, or a price tag and nobody could carry so much useless cash. I grew up believing it’s important to always prepare, learn how to fix broken things and reuse things as much as possible. Prepare psychologically to live a more frugal lifestyle, learn how to replace ingredients of recipes, make your own clothes, toys, tools, food, simplify and invent, be creative and save whatever you can, bc under hyper inflation you might not be able to buy tomorrow something you bought today. It’s this fast. Sorry for my English.
