As I have so many spudbux invested in this forum, a question for PCGUY - is there some way I can turn my savings into tangible assets before I see them devalued when the credit crunch inevitably catches up with spudfiles.com?

Don't worry, spudbux have a fixed value against all international currencies, of zero.
Fortunately, to simplify matters, there is no commission, and no exchanges will deal in spudbux, as they are not accepted as legal tender in any country.
However, we do need a decent symbol for spudbux.

I recognise that it's very bad for some people, but equally, in times of turmoil, people need humour to keep things light hearted.ALIHISGREAT wrote:shouldn't joke about the global economic crisis.

There is definitely a bright side to the economic situation, if you're in the market for a vehicle now is the time to buy one, people are realizing that they can't make their payments and have to sell fairly new vehicles.
Too bad I can't buy a truck with spudbux...

Them ignorant bastards who just went to the spa on my dime should be hung by the neck till dead! I guess someone will get the pirate vote, 192million in tax breaks to a foreign rum company, pisses me off!

It's hard to say. This upcoming election is going to be very... interesting, however.jrrdw wrote:So what soup line should we go stand in when the stuff hits the fan for real?

Yup, all of those mortgages...jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:I think you'll find that it's unfortunately the US that's on the front lines of this issue
That's the catalyst here.
The world is not in a good way, failing economically, rising prices for just about anything. Hopefully it will straighten out, but we don't know.

I don't think it'll ever straighten out. The prices Americans grew complacent with is now a thing of the past. Will prices continue to rise forever, at a rate we cannot keep up with? I don't think so -- even the price of gas around here has leveled off around 3.80 a gallon for the last few months.Ragnarok wrote:Yup, all of those mortgages...jackssmirkingrevenge wrote:I think you'll find that it's unfortunately the US that's on the front lines of this issue

Lucky sod. The average UK price is about $6.87 per US gallon.Blitz wrote:the price of gas around here has leveled off around 3.80 a gallon for the last few months.
For one of our proper Imperial gallons, it's $8.23. (Our gallon is 20% bigger)
