The prices only go down when people don't have enough money to buy things.

isn't that where we are now? I mean kids aren't moving out of their parents house. And everyone has either multiple roommates or multiple jobs. Tech is laying off, and no one is hiring.

I don't know if I'd say I'm doomsday prepper level about it but I've got enough non-perishable food to last a couple years in the event that the cost of food either becomes prohibitively expensive or just isn't there to buy.
