so It’s very clear WW3 is coming and tbh I’m a anxious wreck! Part of me wonders do I just max out my credit cards etc and just get stuff and enjoy everythIng with my kids whilst we can before the inevitable happens?

What inevitable?
No, don't max out your credit cards.

Andtheworldwentwhite · 25/06/2025 15:07

No. Don’t do that. Is this a joke thread?

Foolsgold74 · 25/06/2025 15:08

It's really not "very clear".

Holluschickie · 25/06/2025 15:08

There are a lot of a' I am so anxious' threads these days.

gamerchick · 25/06/2025 15:08

I wouldn't. Always in the back of mind with credit cards is how they can just call the debt in all of a sudden.

Or reduce your credit limit to call it in that way. Gives me the heebies.

I do like the idea of doing those things we would like to do but don't because of some deep seated fear about something daft. Like not wearing a bikini because of 'fat' banana rolls or something

Whatabouterry · 25/06/2025 15:09

It doesn’t seem that clear to me. So no, I wouldn’t max out my credit card right now.

Grow up you are overreacting with this op.
Getting in to huge amounts of debt because of a news report.
If it happens it happens i very much doubt it will.
Just stop reading and watching the news.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

Spending money because you're anxious is neither. FFS my parents were both conceived and born during WWII as bombs dropped around them.

Oioisavaloy27 · 25/06/2025 15:12

Don't be ridiculous you do know Iran and Iraq have been at war for years before don't you? We heard all the same bullshit then so no don't spend it.

HumanRightsAreHumanRights · 25/06/2025 15:12

So, when WW3 doesn't happen, what will you do?

Or what if it doesn't happen this week, but in 5 years time it happens?

Just get on with living your life.

MamaGell · 25/06/2025 15:14

hahahaha
yeah, don't do that.

Alltheyellowbirds · 25/06/2025 15:18

Why is it very clear WW3 is coming? Who is your source and how do they know things the rest of us don’t?

TheMousePipes · 25/06/2025 15:19

Just crack on. No point fretting, there's fuck all.you can do about it.
But the credit card plan is a bad one, don't do that.

YesButNoButMayybee · 25/06/2025 15:19

Uhm what? That's not how wars work...you'll still need to pay off your debts.

What if it DOES happen soon? Would having some money not be immensely useful to, you know, eat, seek shelter and help if needed and possibly flee?! Why does OP want to her family to be hobos cast out on the streets by the time the war arrives lol

BobbleHatsRule · 25/06/2025 15:22

You need to work on your mental resilience.

Sit and calculate how many wars, terrorist activities have taken place in the last 60 years. If every 60 Yr old took your approach they'd all be bankrupt

But OP won’t have any money, they’ll of spent everything having a nice time, maxed out credit cards so where is the money for all the things you listed?

Coconutter24 · 25/06/2025 15:25

What is the inevitable you mention?

Try rereading

You need to lie down in a cool, dark room for a while. Once you get up, find a therapist.

Mansionscoldandgrey · 25/06/2025 15:31

I thought WW3 was coming during the Falklands War, so I stopped doing my homework.
I received a detention from the Head of Year, and a bollocking from my mum.
The world carried on as usual 😅

BlueandPinkSwan · 25/06/2025 15:36

There have been wars in the middle east since the start of human civilization. They will still be slugging it out in some shape or form for many years to come.

Bollynicks · 25/06/2025 15:41

Op step away from the news and calm down. The Government is pushing war shit and higher % to funding war shit so we all agree with the benefit cuts. We will all rejoice and feel happy because they will take the money savings from benefit cuts to keep us safe! It's all smoke and mirrors.

Catsandcannedbeans · 25/06/2025 15:44

If this is not a joke this is concerning. OP please get help for your anxiety. Maybe even call a crisis line if you can’t talk this over with a rational loved one?

Mind crisis line - 0300-102-1234
or alternatively 111 might be a shout.
