    This is my sad hope as well.

    I want the economy to crash so I can afford things.

    Watching homes in my area go from 300k to 1 mil in less than a decade is surreal. This isn’t even a fancy area.

      Okay but for how long? Climate change is going to destroy the global food supply chain and Americans rely HEAVILY on imported food. What happens when the oceans displace all the major port cities that receive everything else? When Americas aging infrastructure falls apart will there be the resources, knowledge, or even political will to rebuild it?

      I’m not saying this to attack you… more so to point out that the Boomer Gen X strategy of making theirs and dying before SHTF is a risky bet for anyone younger.
