After 20 years with my firm (a big Financial Institution) I told them that they can "shove it" with their vax mandate and I'm retiring effective Dec 31. My boss thinks I'm nuts and he spent the rest of the day trying to pull me back into the Matrix by "enticing" me to stay. Didn't work. I told him that i can no longer work for a company that is taking a tyrannical approach to these vaccines and that those in management who chose to enforce these "mandates" chose poorly and will end up on the wrong side of history.(I believe that resonated with my boss but in the end, he still thinks I'm nuts!). Now that I have no job I plan on becoming a full time red-piller...wish me luck!
A good by product of this is that I have much greater control of my 401k after I leave the firm. Thinking of moving a portion to a precious metals IRA - any thoughts on that? Any other suggestions?
Well I am a fan of real estate. Consider going state by state and do a inventory of real estate assets. You want land not a gigantic house with pool to impress the Jones'.
You will be very surprised where the market is to buy and where not to buy. SW Missouri is out (housing boom, creation of future bubble), a parts of Texas are out. Look into "blue states". People are leaving in droves, leaving no market for seller all for buyers. Do not live in the cities of blue states. Do pay attention to the politics of that state. Is it Michigan? It would not be on MY list. Nor would Minnesota, Illinois. Best prices for properties is MS and AR, red states. If you like hot weather. I have simply chosen to stay away from coastal states.
Anyhow land/real estate. Return on investment even on pure shit properties are going to skyrocket 2022. Do not renovate just yet. Find a buyer club for home reno's if that is what you want. For now get land if a livable house is on it that is a bonus. My opinion.
So funny you mention that as I'm heading up to the Adirondacks (NY) tomorrow to check out a 45 acre property. Thanks for the advice fren! Very helpful!
