Pssst! Over here!
“my wife said that she needed to buy a few things for the house but after I explained that we shouldn’t and we should hold onto our money for a bit then she was all for that.
Especially as my money is not going into bozo’s policies”
I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been hunkering down for quite some time now; saw the writing on the wall with President Bush’s FIRST stimulus stupidity in 2007-8.
Why on EARTH anyone thinks people with cash will put money into the market with a Socialist in the White House is beyond me. The market is contracting and it’s due to who is in the White House.
Some other things I’m doing:
*Big garage sale with like-minded girlfriends coming up; liquidating stuff we don’t need. See, normally we would DONATE these things to charity, but Charity begins at HOME from here on out...
*Closing my 401K account. I have other investments and the future sale of my farm to fall back on. I want a big cash slush fund in the event of some dire emergency; say, Civil War? LOL! I’ll take the tax hit this year when our income is lower, anyway, thanks to the Poser in Chief.
*Not purchasing anything new. I really need a car; I’m not buying a new one. I need new flooring int he kitchen; that’ll have to wait. Anything the house needs, I will find a way to do myself or pay someone cash for their trouble.
I can think of a ton of other things, but I won’t bore you. :)
I agree with your moves. While GWB was in office, I was busy planning for retirement, but now it seems much more important to me to have access to my money, and worry about retirement again later when things improve.

we need to do stuff and get things but no way will my money prop up Bozo and his policies along with me drawing my money out of the market

Isn’t it crazy we have to talk like this, but we DO. We’re all uncertain about the best way to weather this marxist assault on our dear nation.
