Paper Money - Lost confidence

GFC hit and I saw an old brick layers dreams shattered as his superannuation was cut in half and more overnight. A lifetime of toil, grit and battling. A body of aches and pains and sun drenched leathery skin. All just to be safe, housed and fed with the dream of fishing the last of his days away. Since, I have continued to lose faith and value for paper money. Basically I don't save and I just pay all my bills. There is no incentive in this fiat system for people to commit or try any harder than they already are to earn devaluing paper that buys less and less every second. Why would you to have it stolen?
