Understand that was during the Great Depression and the reason so many people lost their farms was because THE BANKS LOST THEIR MONEY.An interesting thing I read once, let me look it up...
Here is one article, about one state.
" According to an article in The Literary Digest, a national news magazine, on a single day in April 1932 one-fourth of the real property in Mississippi, including 20 percent of all farms and 15 percent of town property, went under the auctioneer’s gavel and was sold to pay taxes. The sales, conducted by 74 sheriffs, included about 40,000 farms. Most of the property went to the state of Mississippi which already owned about one million acres. "
Well that is what you get when you cower down to government edicts and when you trust other people with your money. Those houses and farms were taken in April 1932, well before the gold confiscation act of 1933. They should have kept their money in $20 gold coins at home, but they trusted banks even though there was plenty of pre-history of banks failing.Understand that was during the Great Depression and the reason so many people lost their farms was because THE BANKS LOST THEIR MONEY.
The bust in 06 was mainly due to banks being forced to make loans to a certain demographic group who they knew would never pay the loan back.Well that is what you get when you cower down to government edicts and when you trust other people with your money.

Personally I doubt those people had much money spare to begin with. Many of those farmers had taken on big debts in the good times to expand and buy more land, to buy a house in town as well. They were living high on the hog and were not prepared for the downturn. It's just like the housing bust in 2006 where millions have lost their homes because of the downturn. Some innocently sure, but how many took out Helocs and home equity loans to buy new cars and holidays OS. Greed is the undoing of many.
You can still do a small garden if you want with a 1/3 acre. I would be putting in edibles for landscape. Just my thoughts if you are very limited. Why did I think you were renting? If I remember right, you said at one time that you had limited storage which made me think you were living in an apartment or maybe condo/townhouse? And in a "community"??I own my own home with a mortgage that I'm paying off, and I own my car free and clear . . . although I only have about 1/3 of an acre.
Thank you for your concern, though.
My house is in a 55+ community. I moved here 2 years ago, and was in a smaller place 2 years ago. I have been on this forum for about 4 years, so maybe that's where the misunderstanding came from.You can still do a small garden if you want with a 1/3 acre.

Can you grow sugar beets there? I guess you could grow something pretty much year round there?Thank you. And I've also grown tomatoes (although none right now), watermellon, cantelope, and spinach.
What I want to grow (but haven't) are sweet potatoes. I still need to do my research, as I hear that growing sweet potatoes can be pretty involved.
You don’t need to make a lot of money to be financially sound. You do need to live below your means and save though. Seems that discipline is difficult for most people.
Thank you.Sweet potatoes are easy. Sprout in water, then bury root side down.
Once I went to the sons house a few months back, I brought sweet potatoes for the grand daughters to start in water. I put three tooth picks in the potatoes to hold it up on a mason jar filled with water to sprout. That has been his best crop this year so far. He told me he is done with the garden now. The sweet potatoes are now taking over and all he and the girls will have to do is dig up the treasures.Thank you.
I am now in North Central Florida, and the climate borders on tropical . . . so I think I could pull off sweet potatoes and sugar beets.
Sweet potato chips seem like a practical way to store healthy carbs for months without refrigeration.
I was going to experiment with the Asian/Hawaiian dark purple sweet potato, as it seems like it would have lots of vitamins and antioxidents.
And credit cards twice that.A home mortgage is a scam, a sham, a farce.
Credit cards are one of the worst things you can do to sabotage your finances. Who in their right mind would agree to the terms and interest rates from them if they actually took the time to think before signing up. I have and use a couple cards, but they have never not been paid in full each month nor ever been late. I would never agree to any kind of annual fees either. I do like the security of the credit company being able to intervene with any disputed charges and the higher daily limit than a regular debit card. As far as a mortgage, not many people can save enough for their first house and since the rates can be so low it’s really the only kind of debt I’ve ever considered as acceptable.And credit cards twice that.
That maybe so, but nobody is being forced to use credit or take on a mortgage.And credit cards twice that.
I dont use mine often but always pay the full balance at the end of the month. The last few years I have gotten notices on occasion threatening me of closing my account because I don't use. I will make a one time purchase and pay off just so I still have that account open.That maybe so, but nobody is being forced to use credit or take on a mortgage.
If used properly credit can be a useful tool. I've always taken advantage of 0% interest loans or 90 days same as cash. The trick is to always pay the CC or loan off before they start accruing interest.
I agree, another lockdown, even limited, would kill any progress we’ve made. They just added more travel restrictions for Canada and Mexico. California of course added mask indoors again. The numbers of unvaccinated hospitalizations is getting ugly now, it’s likely going to trigger more restrictions again.Starting to see more message traffic about possible reinstatments of masks, social distancing, even some suggesting lockdowns 2.0.
If that last one happens, I would expect even more inflation.

AAA just announced gas is .97 cent a gallon higher than this time last year.Gas at Shell is $2.87 a gallon.
Yep. $3.73 here. I guess its OK if you're sucking off the government tit, or you make a lot of money.AAA just announced gas is .97 cent a gallon higher than this time last year.
Yeah, I had one liberal try and tell me it was higher because they had to add the summer additive. I responded that, didn't they add that additive last year also? Never heard from her again?Yep. $3.73 here. I guess its OK if you're sucking off the government tit, or you make a lot of money.
Thanks Biden voters. I hope your happy with your choice.
