Get your fuck you money guys asap.... you have 10-15 years tops!
I have been trying to plan my exit for about 5 years now but have made no progress whatsoever. I have a family and all the expenses (unbelievable) that go along with it. Might get a small inheritance but that family member is a rabid, insane TDS sufferer, so if I slip up even once and mention Trump in a positive light, then I'm likely to lose that inheritance, which means no move to a better location, and kids don't get to go to college. Of course I'm set back by virtue of losing my career and earning potential when I had my heart attack in 2016. There's no recovery from that at my age.
Not whining, just telling everybody why so many men in today's society are trapped and unable to fight back. We as a sex have been stuck with ALL the financial burdens...we are still the money pigs of society, expected to bring home enough money to feed and house 4 human beings in a society that has relentlessly inflated living expenses. Yet we have been stripped of the corresponding political and social power necessary for us to protect ourselves as financial providers.
Anyway, for a very short window, 10 years maybe, family men like me will limp along and survive day to day, ducking our heads when the Witches in power berate us, jerk and tremble when they stripe our backs with the whip. That's what I do, every single day.
Eventually, very soon probably, we'll break. Or in my case, if I'm very lucky, I'll get enough money to escape and take my family. But that's increasingly unlikely.
MrLemon I am very curious: pretend you did have enough money to exit, what would you do and why? Where would you put your wealth? What locations seem appealing to you, either in the USA or abroad?
Jefferyjerrp, here's my plan. Maybe this should go into the travel forum.
I'm thinking Canada. Wealth into 25% Bitcoin. I'm not extreme, I don't believe that civilization is going to collapse. Stocks, bonds, real estate is all good in my view, but Bitcoin is clearly going to outperform.
Now people will criticize that since Canada is still SJW hell, which is true. But Canada has one very large benefit...it has not fully succumbed to the "lock em up" military/police state mentality that grips the US. This is a much bigger topic than I have time for, but essentially I think that Trump or no Trump, the US is turning into a Puritan Police state and there is nothin that stands in the way. If left wing, then it's a left wing police state, if right wing, then a right wing police state. The American people have turned into a pack scum whose sole pleasure in life is to "inform" on their neighbor and watch with their nipples hard as their neighbor is dragged from their house in the dark of night by the Gestapo. That is America today. I say that as the most patriotic citizen in the world. We are in a dark time and it's getting much darker. Of course the coming censorship of the Internet and other fun things will be part of that.
As a father, my single greatest worry is that my children will be hauled to jail for breaking Federal law -- which they do 20 times a day, just like every single person in the US. It's just a matter of chance who gets taken to prison.
I want to get my kids away from that. I want to live without being in fear every night. That means out of the USA. Crushes me to say that.
Canada or Australia are the first choices. They have other problems.
France would be delightful, since my sons might find actual women to date. Wouldn't that be amazing? But France is a much bigger challenge. UK is gone.
If not out of US then maybe New Hampshire or a freer state. But the Federal cops still lurk, looking for rich, extortion-worthy targets.
