Must Watch! Living Through Hyperinflation - Real World Advice From a Romanian Survivor
You NEED to watch this. We are undoubtedly headed for hyperinflation. This is an AMAZING interview by a man who grew up during hyperinflation in Romania. He explains in depth how his family survived. What was important and what worked. How they managed to survive and mistakes they made. These are real world strategies for common people living paycheck to paycheck. And he talks about what people should do to protect themselves and not starve.

This is a long video but well worth it. The guy drops essential info and advice all through it

Re: Must Watch! Living Through Hyperinflation - Real World Advice From a Romanian Survivor
One part I found really helpful was where he discussed gold and silver. How people used it and when. How the government tried to control its use and how people got around it. This was for normal people who were wiped out by the hyperinflation.

There was also one I read a few years ago by a guy who lived through the Bosnia conflict which was similar. I think it was ón the site that has the Argenteen guy's account.

I don't see how people can watch or read these accounts and not be affected.

I liked her list: Food, Water, Energy, Security, Barter-ability, Wealth preservation, Community, Shelter

I like his last word: Be beacon. Don't fear. Don't allow others around you to fear. Light up other beacons in your community.

I also liked what he said that skills were the best thing to barter.

Thanks OP, good video.

Interesting about using jewelry as the main currency and physical gold bars or coins stored elsewhere for savings at the end of the crisis.

I have thought about buying metals but don't know how or if they are registered to the buyer so that they are trackable as wealth.

Is he the GLPer based in Argentina? If so, that country has been trashed by its Peron-Kirchner left for decades.

Think of the US with nothing but Obamas, Clintons and Bidens at the helm for over 90 years. Or the city of San Francisco mixed with the city of Baltimore, etc, on a larger scale.

Re: Must Watch! Living Through Hyperinflation - Real World Advice From a Romanian Survivor
I find it very interesting how he describes how everyone went back to small community bartering and living off the land.

Makes you think what the plan is for all those corps that are buying up all the farm land....

So they will still have a very heavy hand in each little barter community... While also enjoying their hands in multiple community cookie jars.... Setting up control over large parts of the country when the SHTF....

Not many of those who lived in urban areas went back to living off the land.
Most urbanites had relatives (parents/grandparents) living in rural areas and helping them out with food/produce from time to time, while they continued living and working in the cities.

It’s because you can move a million people out to the country in a year or two when it collapses. When it hits you’re not going to be able to move except with family possibly.

City folk might be able to pitch a tent in a national park with 5 thousand other refugees, but thinking oh we will just leave if it gets bad is a death frame of mind.

Re: Must Watch! Living Through Hyperinflation - Real World Advice From a Romanian Survivor
I thought one of the salient points was that once the cycles of inflation begin, you loose your money very quickly. In the first few cycles. And the banks close, also slowing any last minute changes to your monetary situation. In two years money went from being able to buy 3 houses to being able to buy a TV.

So, in order to be "ready" for hyperinflation you have to constantly be prepared. Sink a certain amount of whatever you can into real things like skills and stuff you can trade or use.

Also interesting: if you had gold bars, you'd hide them in the ground and those would be your savings for a rainy day. They were illegal to own. Small pieces of jewelry were exchanged though. Gold was made into things like rings in order to exchange in a somewhat less illegal way. (wedding rings weren't strictly illegal for instance).

Interesting also that he says that certain of his relatives NEVER trusted or used banks again.

A house was exchanged for a gold necklace, so I suppose that shows that real estate tanked and gold went to the moon.

 Quoting: Eilonwy



The ROL/USD exchange rate went like this (ROL was the Romanian currency):

- 1990 - ROL 20 for 1 USD
- 1991 - ROL 76
- 1992 - ROL 307.9
- 1993 - ROL 760
- 1994 - ROL 1,655
- 1995 - ROL 2,033
- 1996 - ROL 3,082
- 1997 - ROL 7,167
- 1998 - ROL 8,876
- 1999 - ROL 15,333

In 1990 a two-room apartment in Bucharest could be bought for USD 11,000. So ROL 220,000.

Let's assume a person kept the ROL 220,000 untouched, hoping to buy the apartment later.

In 1993 the ROL 220,000 would only amount to... USD 290.
A JVC video-recorder had a cost of USD 2,500 in Romania in 1993.
