    Thats Wednesday the 19th January 2011.....

    This'd have me more worried

    {If you haven’t taken steps to prepare your house, home and finances, time is definitely running out. I give it no later than the end of the year after the US federal elections, when we will see some sort of Western unrest as well due to currency crises unfolding all over the world.
    The US dollar being the grand daddy of them all, possibly hanging on for some months after that. It seems odd to say that things will collapse and our world will change dramatically at the end of 2012.
    Sounds like a doomsday prophecy. But that just happens to be exact timing we’re talking about…

    I hope I’m wrong, but my gut tells me I’m not. }quote

    So, after WWII, and my dad and his mother and siblings were living with a farmer back in Germany as refugees. (they were Germans from Russia, a long but sort of interesting story). Anyways, after the war, West Germany switched over to the mark, and the people didn't have advance notice. The farmer who was housing my dad's family had lots of the old Reichsmark in the bank. He also had a mortgage on his farm. Each adult could only convert a set amount of the old marks for the new, no matter how many they had to convert. I believe the maximum was 5000, but don't quote me on it. This farmer had a lot more than that. He gave my grandmother marks for her to convert, as they were now useless to him. As well, when the conversion was done, there were either fees or taxes charged, so every person lost an amount right off the top. The farmer's mortgage, on the other hand, was converted from the old marks to new marks at full rate. He went from having more cash in the bank than his mortgage was worth, back to the situation of having to worry if each year's harvest would be enough to pay the bills.
