What would good investments nowadays be?
What ever you will need to consume over the next 5years that you can store.
Real Estate, Precious Metals (I like American Eagles), Food Ammo, Pay off the Mortgage, any other hard assets or emergency supplies that will appreciate as inflation goes up. Stuff like flour, salt, baking soda, honey etc will last forever, and the prices will go up.
Heck I even bought a bunch of powdered canned milk. It’s good for 20 years. Figured out to be $3 per gallon. Milk is now over $4 in our local stores. So I use the powdered for baking and cooking - it’s not bad for drinking either especially when it’s really cold.
I liquidated over half of my stocks. The rest I let ride - Que Sera Sera.
I do have some cash stashed in case the ATM goes down. I keep a few month’s of payments in the same bank that I owe money. So if they don’t allow access, I plan to tell them to get their payment due from that. Might work. Might not. C’est la vie.
