Food for thoughts.

@Cailyn Aune  I can only go by my own experience that is over 4 decades.and Real estate tends to go in 10 year cycles at least in California.but when I think of each down turn it was for a completely different reasonmid 70's  end of viet nam warmid 80s was high interest and RTC89 was war in Iraq and Loma preita earthquakelate 2001 was a short live dot com bubble2008 the mother of all melt downsso here we are 8 years later .. low interest high employment NO liar loans.. 20 to 30% of all properties being sold in cash... land use regulations.. increasing population in areas that people actually want to live.will we melt down in 2 years I don't know but who knows what the catalyst will be since its never been the same thing twice.

Bottled water, canned food, and bullets may end up being the most valuable commodities.If there is inflation, you will be thankful that you have a 30 year fixed mortgage.

I mean are the bulk of the Wholesalers making at least minimum wage for their efforts (like a fast food job would pay; 2,000 hours a year x min wage), or is it less; or is it way more?

My religion has always counseled its members to have a minimum of six months reserve in food, water, and cash.

Not to mention I just didn't feel comfortable doing it.As of right now I make around $2,000 a month after I cover all my overhead for the business, and that $2,000 has towards my monthly bills (Rent, Gas, Electric, Water, Food, etc..)

The historical data of epic financial ruin following even very savvy people who invested in housing, food, tools, clothing, heavy equipment, technical services, a few unmentionables, etc for oil field boom events is truly legendary. 

The city also adds orthophospahte, a common food additive, to coat the pipes from the inside. 

Food deliveries, rideshare during big drinking days/concerts/sporting events/airport runs, shop for grocery items, etc...Most folks overestimate what they can earn in a day hustling and underestimate what they can earn in a year. 

What is their food source?
