ok - that explains a lot - more to process through my head about this. I'm actually trying not to focus on the money side of things and stick with the content only until I have any money to worry about - so I don't really even know the details of the money at all.

But this explains a lot about he system so I really appreciate all of it. I had heard of the inflation rate before but ignored thinking about it. Now I have some info to think about.

It's interesting to be here while it's crashing and I have no dog in the race. I saw innumerable people putting money in on the way up and I know some are retrieving it now. Just like the stock market! At least I semi-understand that farce.
