I think there are some niche areas where you are probably going to still have some success, but it won't be like it used to be for sure. The IT landscape is starting to look a little scary. I keep seeing lots of posts from people I know talking about layoffs.

Yeah, it's getting real scary here and also places like China have 7 Million laid off tech workers right now.
It's going to hit pretty hard for a lot of people. We are on quick sand and I feel that if I don't pull something off that is big in the next 2 years than I really will have to pivot to something primarily outside of IT. Like property development, house flipping, or focus on coaching primarily.
I should be able to retire in two to three years if I absolutely had to.
That's good.
I feel like I'm never really going to retire. My worry is the inflation keeps ramping up as the decades go on and then eggs will be $50 / dozen
I have a feeling we will see some kind of massive collapse before that happens. $10 might not be crazy though :P
$10 already happened for high end eggs and in the inner city.
What makes them high end?

These are the ones I usually get but they have been out of stock at Walmart and they had raised the price on them in store several weeks ago. My friend in California said they were $12 out in Los Angeles County.
Pasture raised though so they can go around eating bugs and worms and having a normal food chain. The yokes end up being way darker. I try to stick to those and Angus steak cuts.
My worry is that we are just headed to where Japan is in 10 years. Where it is so expensive people just struggle working endless hours just to buy low quality noodles and have low testosterone. They had a big period of inflation where prices in Tokyo went insane and then followed by deflation and their citizens have really been in quick sand for decades in a lot of ways.
There are over 7 million vacant homes in Japan.
