No, the Western world is pretty damn insolvent these days, plus with supply chain disruptions (partly manufactured by horrible leadership), as well the increasing economic war between the West and East, I'd say get prepared for much, much, much harder times. Possible economic collapse and social unrest.

As Russia continues to reshape its economy to become more resilient to Western economic sanctions, the country is reportedly considering pegging the ruble to gold. According to Dunagun Kaiser, financial expert and host of the “Liberty and Finance” show, observers and analysts in the financial arena have been talking about the fact that Russia, along with other countries like China, has been stocking up on precious metals like gold for a long time now. Kaiser noted that Russia was accumulating precious metals and just waiting for a perfect time to announce that it would back the ruble with gold. Specifically, Russia is waiting until the West’s economic situation is vulnerable enough so that the announcement would completely be a game changer for the financial world: https://www.brighteon.com/cb68a31e-504a-45ce-bf33-12bfe5132996

Russian forces are likely amassing in Belgorod to reinforce Russian efforts in northern Kharkiv to prevent the ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive from pushing closer to the Ukraine-Russia border. Russian forces near Izyum focused on regrouping, replenishing, and reconnoitering Ukrainian positions in order to continue advances to the southwest and southeast of Izyum. Russian forces continued their ground attacks to drive to the borders of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts but did not make any territorial gains. Russian troops continued to assault the Azovstal Steel Plant and advanced efforts to economically integrate occupied Mariupol into the wider Russian economy. Russian troops may be preparing for a renewed offensive on the Southern Axis but are unlikely to be successful in this endeavor: https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-may-8

Rising energy bills (in Britian) may result in a surge of domestic fires as more people are forced to turn to alternative ways, like burning wood, to heat their homes, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) said on Monday: https://www.rt.com/news/555201-domestic-fires-rising-prices/

▲ MY COMMENT: I heat my homestead every winter so I KNOW what the problem is. People are being stupid! If you heat your home with wood you MUST have a chute or chimney properly installed, PREFERABLY PROFESSIONALLY done (unless you know exactly what the hell you are DIY-installing). On top of that having a wood burning stove comes with HUGE responsibility, like having to clean out the chute once every couple of years. Failing to do so will eventually cause fires within the home, because the constant build-up of creosote!! Creosote eventually blocks the chute airflow, making the chute hotter and hotter and hotter as time goes on! Once it gets too hot, your home will catch fire and will burn down!!! If you don't want to clean creosote all the time, then having a regular fireplace with a chimney would be a much better option!! Wood stoves are only meant for responsible people that are 100% willing to maintain them!
