When Money Fails. . .

When you go to the/a store, you expect to get what you want, goods or services, in exchange for the "legal tender" you give to them (at least it is expected in the United States Of America).  What would happen if this agreed upon trade was not 100% reliable?  

I was taught that back in the day Germany suffered a period of super inflation.  The loss of value to their currency was so great that, literally, a wheel barrel filled with cash could barely buy a loaf of bread!

I'm not saying this has or will happen any time soon, but, what I am saying is that - "things (people, money, God, etc.) will let you down at least once in your life."  Nothing is fool-proof.  God will let you down to test you.  People will let you down some of the time because they're not perfect.  Money?  The store may be closed when you need them to be open.  What you want may not be available right now.  The price of a regular, steady item that you buy may noticeably go up out of your comfort range.  Shit happens.  

I went to the liquor store tonight to buy a case of beer and the store was closed.  I got there thirty minutes after the closing time.  I went to the live girl nude dance/peep show in my area tonight that's suppose to be open 24/7.  They were closed. Some of the time the big-box store that I frequent runs out of Deer-Park or Poland Spring water.  These two brands are the only ones my mom will drink.  No purified water for her.  The same big-box store doesn't sell Winston Redbox 100s cigarettes which is what I prefer.  When I buy from them, I always have to settle for a Gold box.  I have been living alone in my current apartment over 17 years and have received the "free" heat during the winters, heat that is due me, only once and that was the 1st year I moved here, and, only upon request.

It is said that money talks & bullshit walks.  Well, small money sometimes walks and, therefore, is bullshit.  I can only speculate but am pretty sure that having deep pockets is a wonderful thing.  I, personally, respect small as well as big money.  A few coins sometimes means the difference in having or not having a pack of cigarettes for me.  A lot of people don't give respect to small money that it's due.  Most big money started out as small money.  In my book, small money talks, just not as loud as big money.  The more you have, the less likely it will fail you. Aaaaaaahhhhhggggg.
