My grandparents were born in Europe throughout the second world war. They always "warned" me not to keep too much money in the bank as when times get tough it is going to be worthless. Always thought that this was kind of a war-generation mindset, but the Cyprus situation makes me actually believe that they are not that much off after all.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoYeah, my great grandfather, who was an adult during the Depression, literally buried money in jars on his land. Having seen something happen probably changes your perspective on things.
