When it rains, it pours crap.

I could be wrong, but aren't fluid donations subsidized? And might they not be in Hungary?

Haha, bodily fluid donation isn't commonplace here. Blood donation is charity, plasma gets you around... uh, ten bucks per session if I remember right, and there are a lot of beat-down people doing it so there's always a line, and there's no sperm reserve that I had even heard about. This be the balkan.

Unfortunately, we cannot move: my father is 65 years old, doesn't speak any languages, and he's got a wife who just got evicted so she's moving back with us (long, boring sob story there with a would be darwin award).

Anyway, I'm not sure how severe it's going to get. Thing is, a very large portion of the population does not work, yet receives money from the state, and the state alone: most of them are gypsies. Well, if the state goes defunct, and can't pay them, you can imagine what's going to happen.. to make it even more fun, there's been a bunch of people leaning to the part of the political spectrum which endors german lingual camps somewhere in poland as a good solution to all our problems.

Oh yeah, if you guys are into stocks, you can try to mass up some by somehow betting for the fall of hungary's economy, it might just pay your college fees. (:

Still you are in EU. Your neighbors are bound to help you.

I'd say inflation is your biggest issue. Best thing to do would probably be to invest in something steady and international. Has anything been confirmed on the news yet?

That will pay off when the crisis is over, but what about in the meantime? You can't apply wealth that you invest in things like gold. Comestibles and the means to produce them have my vote. You don't know how severe it will be, so prepare for the worst.

@Demonic: Perhaps you can't move out of the country, but can you move into the country? I.e. a less urban area.

Abandon ship...

Agreed, but I was considering any interrest he might have in preserving his wealth for the future. In case of inflation, the currency of his country could take many years to restore itself, and might never reach the same value.

Inflation's huge these days, I recommend you to spend as fast as possible if you sense it's going to get ugly.

Awwooohhh. You are making me SO SAD.
