55. Go back to my original response.
I said that you had misstated the question. What you really meant was: "What if the cost of everything doubled, but your own wages didn't."

In my case, there have always been, and will always be, people who want to gamble. I have been a professional poker player for many years. A doubling of prices will simply mean higher stakes for the same buying power. As long as my mind is sharp, I will be OK. If my mind goes, I hope my body does too, as a life without a mind is too terrible for me to contemplate.
