It's hard to say but everyone, including today's kids have so much working against them -- tech addiction, being taught a victim mentality, lack of hope due to the state of our economy. Maybe it's the natural progression of a civilization in decline. They say good times create weak people, bad times create strong people. Maybe there's hope for us yet. I'm hearing a LOT about how this decade might play out just as it did a century ago. Five more years of a booming stock market fueled by this coming wave of AI-tech then a spectacular crash akin to 1929. I set a reminder for 2028 to pop up on my phone and will be researching where to invest during times of economic Depression in the meantime. I'm trying to wrap my head about what that would even look like, it's a different world than it was a century ago.
Jovi must have been fast! Those aren't easy to catch. Amstel would bark at them but didn't have much interest beyond that. I was walking him one time and a curious baby ran down a tree and stared at him. I think that really freaked him out, he just looked up at me. Lol.
Squirrels love corn! I was growing some in the garden about a decade ago and as soon as the ears appeared on the stalks the squirrels helped themselves to them.
She was pretty fast. I think it didn't help that the squirrels were fat from all the corn! It was only occasionally that Jovi was in their yard, so they likely became a bit complacent at times too. I'd be interested to know what you find out about safe places to invest. I will likely have a lot more to lose by that time than I do now.
Corn would definitely put the weight on them! So far, every safe haven I've found so far (like T-bills) operate on the assumption that either the US government (as we know it) will honor their debt and/or the next Depression will be similar to the last. I'm still searching but will definitely let you know when I come across something promising. For now I'll focus on diversification. Hopefully it'll be a few years yet.
Sounds like either crypto or precious metals is your best bet.
