There is no inevitable "end", but there will certainly be change. Only kids think things end. Us old folks know that "the more things change the more they stay the same." The world I grew up in does not exist any more. That's going to happen to you too. Get used to it.
Just be glad there are enough suckers around the globe lining up for a promissory note from the United States.
LOL! All national debt and all national currencies are promissory notes. They are claims on the real goods and services output by the economy whose government as agent issued it. The US dollar is really famous and really popular principally because the US economy produces about 22% of all the real goods and services produced anywhere in the world.

You know what's really kid-like? Trying to make economics a generationally divisive topic.
Damned whipper-snapper generation is all hyped up on these video games! They need the over-stimulation of danger on every doorstep and calamity around every corner in order to feel alive.

No, what's really kid-like is buying into apocalyptic scenarios promoted by guys whose claims to fame are being "film makers" or "futurists" or "commentators" or "politicians", especially if they're trying to sell you generators, survivalist gear, homesteading land in the San Luis Valley, "alternative" currency, and various other borderline scams.
