Is economic collapse on the horizon?

Shoot you live in Georga man! Buy land with lots of southern pines and collect your check every ten years or so from the paper company. They clear-cut and replant the trees and hand you a check. In between you have a place to go get free deer and hogs for the dinner table.

Park a used trailer out there and an old truck to beat around in on your hunting week-ends.

Just make sure none of it is "wet lands" (AKA swamp) this can be a PIA to get changed when the developers start building in your area.

Keep an eye on "bridges to nowhere" projects when they pop up and try to buy land there. Bridges to nowhere eventually get built and it may take 20yrs, but then how long does that 401K take to amount to anything?

Yes.

just kidding. well, maybe not.... but anyway no matter, relax, nothing you or I are going to change what is inevitably going to happen.

In a "economic collapse" scenario let me humbly recommend for your consideration, once you are calm enough to hear, one thing you don't want to do is "bail out and hide what little cash you can"

If/ when so much hits the fan that the fan quits spinning, "cash" won't be king... it'll be worthless.

Think about what is truly valuable, and take "stock" in it.
