You could try informing them that their assets are not safe if this thing gets a lot worse.
One of them, Florida, only owns a car from 2006. That’s about it. All of his other money went to his wife and her two daughters for the last 15 years.
My New Orleans friend owns quite a bit more than that, but what worries me there is his mom. I’ve known her a long time, and I love her very much. So far, though, I haven’t been very successful in convincing him of the danger.
