My retirement is down.
My savings is down from inflation.
Inflation is so high my raise didn't even matter.
The gov is stealing my $$ in real-time and I can't do SHIT about it.
@basedbagel - For the last few years, I spent my money as soon as I got it, anticipating financial collapse. No regrets for that. Now, instead of money, I have all the stuff money would buy (food, guns, ammo, gasoline storage as a one way bugout ticket, garden stuff & seeds, tools of my chosen dark age trade - woodworking & blacksmithing). It gives me great peace of mind.
Not meant as a brag, but as a sharing of perspective. I'm as set as can be for a migrationary collapse strategy.
@basedbagel - Everything on my wishlist now, is too big to be mobile (pedal powered grain thresher for example).
So I'm looking to buy land. And one could say I'm financially ill prepared for that. But I don't fret. I've been developing a skill set to be useful in any case. YouTube is great for such learning.
If I had savings and no trade or food preps right now, I'd spend it on that - and worry about retirement later.
Cheers, and Best Wishes. Let me know if you wanna talk prepping. 🍻
You are set! All I have is food right now as I don't have the funds for much else.
I got my second passport so my goal is to GTFO before the collapse.
