Can we have a thread about what the hell to do right now?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
First of all, I'm an idiot when it comes to anything financial. I know many of you aren't. What is the safest thing to do with the money (fiat) that we do have right now? Leave it in our local bank? Credit union? Keep it as cash in my sock drawer? Also, the money in my 401k? Switch it over to bonds or something else I don't fully understand? Any thoughts from someone who's been paying better attention to these things than I?
the most valuable things are: living things, friendships, and personal wisdom/skill.
living things: that includes all plants and animals. without living things, we will die. if you have plants and animals and a healthy ecosystem, you can eat, garden, forage, hunt, build, make fire, etc. survival is based on a healthy ecosystem of living things for you to eat and live from.
friendships/connection: you need strong family and friends. Deep connections. when shit gets tough, do your friends and family stick together? when there is disageement, do you stick together? that is the most valuable. have you invested in your friends and family? that is worth more than fake ass government money in any form.
personal skill/wisdom: can you do stuff? can you make good desicions? do you get angry/sad/emotional and make mistakes? do you get egotistical and make mistakes? or are you wise and skilled and making good decisions? that is the real value of this world.
these are the things of real value. they were it before civilization, they are it now, during civilization, and they will be after.
