Welcome to Radical Personal Finance and Show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge,

skills, insight and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now

while building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less. Today on the show

we're going to talk a little bit about our economic crisis and collapse. How exciting

I'm here with my friend Jimmy who's been working as missionary who works in Venezuela has been working there for many years and on today's show we're going to talk a little bit about Venezuela including also about the

project that the radical personal finance community was was instrumental in

helping to get started but we're mainly going to focus on the economics of what's

happening in Venezuela I think it's one of the

most instructive scenarios because a lot of people worry about what does a total economic

crisis look like, what does a collapse look like? Well in today's, the place to go if you're interested in seeing what

those kinds of things look like is Venezuela. So Jimmy, welcome back to Radical Personal Finance.

Thank you, thank you for having me back.

So I would like you to describe.

You have been going to Venezuela for 20 years more?

No, 30 years.

30 years. 30 years.

So I'd like to begin, describe what you have observed with your firsthand experience in Venezuela

over the last 30 years.

Lay out what has happened over that 30 year timeline up until today

economically speaking well the first times when I was in Venezuela it was I remember it was very prosperous, a city very expensive.

I remember we were paying a huge amount of rent for a very small apartment, my wife and

I.
