Indeed, I don't have much of a nest egg anymore as I retired early, built a house abroad, and lived on savings. Back to work because I'm back in the states and its expensive here. However I haven't been broke since I was 14, and I keep my safety net of 1 year's of my cost of living, and am spending disposable income to start over with household stuff and stocking up on food.
Even if no Zombie Apocalypse food shortages happen, I'm hedging against inflation.
Good job. You're very smart doing it that way. Not everyone has a good head on their shoulders when it comes to money. You're one of the exceptions. God bless.
Not educated in finance, but have a natural affinity due to childhood with parents not good at money. Mom lost 2 houses and we lived in many many rentals when not dumped out at Grams.
Hmm.....Sounds like my ex-husband. He tried his best to get me in debt while I was working to raise our two kids. After both kids reached 18 and 19, I divorced him. He then remarried a woman who tried to steal him from me when both kids were 3 and 4. Her husband had died in which she did NOT even attend his funeral; yes they were still married. Then she married my exe 2 weeks later. He made her sell her house and he blew all that money. Then her mother died leaving her a house, and he had her sell and blew that money. Then her step-mom died and left her the house she and her father owned, and he made her sell and blew that money. Now they live in an old run down house they are renting, with no running water and a generator they use for electric. So she got what she prayed for and he got what he wanted. ME.....I'm happy.
