“…it is struggling against a foe that not even cost-cutting nor brand loyalty can overcome: demographics. Its current owners are getting old, and not enough younger ones are coming up behind them.”

Age & Stage of Life Determine Spending Patterns
As we move through predictable stages of life, which correspond with different ages, we change our spending in very predictable ways.
What we buy at each stage is predictable and consistent.
This information can be used to forecast how spending will change in the years and decades to come.

Tremendous changes are coming
Inflation Fears Are Misguided
It’s DEFLATION That Will Hurt!
With the US government doubling the asset base at the Federal Reserve and pumping trillions of dollars into the economy, everyone is worried about inflation – too many dollars chasing too few goods.
It’s understandable, but wrong. If the economy remained constant, this would make sense. But we are changing, and the changes will eventually mean deflation, not inflation. Unfortunately, deflation hurts a lot more!
The Value of “M” Is the Size of the Money Supply
Printing press – the US Government creates out of thin air
Lending – banks and other institutions create out of thin air through fractional reserve, short borrowing versus long lending
Lending Dollars Into Existence
(fractional reserve)
Banks are required to hold a percentage of deposits (a fraction), they lend out the rest. If they do not lend, they do not collect interest and cannot pay their depositors.
If a deposit is made for $1,000, the bank can lend $900, thereby “creating” $900 out of thin air. But the other side of the journal entry of the loan to the borrower, is the note that the borrower owes back to the bank.
Money “Creation” Works
Both Ways
The contraction of money is already happening, just not at the Fed.
When any debtor either pays back a loan created through fractional reserve, or has a loan canceled (foreclosure, modification, etc.) then money supply has been contracted.
