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?
Every situation is different and in extreme circumstances we all make decisions with the information we have. The one thing I will caveat is that defense is paramount; of yourself, your loved ones and those that cannot defend themselves. This is the one area that I would not have any hesitation about. If an attack is unprovoked and the response results in injury or worse, there is nothing that I would feel guilty about. The decision was made for me by the aggressor. Ultimately it is their decision that led to their injury, not mine. The attempt to make someone acting purely in self-defense as a culpable crime is reprehensible.
