@imtranscending I remember his posts being decent back in the day, like early 2010s. I popped back into the sub in 2018 and his posts were dramatically different in tone by that point. My understanding is that he's gone off the deep end now.
@MentORPHEUS there's plenty of bad economic headwinds right now but buying land/owning a home is one of the few things that will always hold value. Stocks, commodities, ect all markets go up and down.
Owning land means real independence. Unless there is a complete breakdown of law and order, or a fucky workaround (looking at you, eminent domain), it is VERY difficult to take away from you. Its also one of the few things in this world of which there is a truly limited supply (there's only so much land on Earth, and only so much land that is actually desirable to live on) and has intrinsic value in a way that stocks, paper currency, and other stores of value do not.
@paul_ernst real estate is probably the best investment you can make. It also lets you get away from spending on rent each month.
Other options include:
Invest in businesses and ideas you find appealing or promising.
Donate to charities.
Take a vacation somewhere.
Buy huge amounts of chadcoin.
Cut hours and spend the time on yourself and your goals.
