One of the benefits of Deposit Accounts is the opportunity to learn not just from Ken; but from fellow readers; even those with different perspectives than our own. Thus far this year, we have has good conversations about the impact of governmental overreach upon savings, inflation, and US financial stability. We have learned from PD's insights, and grieved that pork barrel spending has raised the price of his beloved bacon. We have been reminded by Sherlock of the international impact of inflation and the importance of not seeing things exclusively through partisan eyes. Choice has implored us wisely to learn how to control spending during these high inflationary times. Green Dream has spoken of the harmful impact of the government interfering with the normal laws of supply and demand; and Milty reminded us that these "laws" are often abused when the playing field is not level. Since Ken's recent post clarifying DA posting guidelines and norms; the conversations have become more respectful and the opportunity to learn from one another has increased. So thanks to my fellow readers--especially those whose points of view are different from my own; for you force me to look at my own biases and errors. Looking forward to our financial conversations for the rest of 2022.
