I saved a million confederate dollars! Got them through an inheritance. My great grandfather kept 10,000 $100 bills in his mattress. Thought I was rich, didn’t need to save anything else.
Then I found out they were worthless. Well, a collector told me he could probably get me 25 cents on the dollar selling them one at a time. Given they are uncertified, we’d be lucky to sell them all in the next ten years.
Just because our savings COULD become devalued, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t save.
