Latest Breaking News

In a safe.

I just took the very bold step ( a week or so after the election) of moving my 401K from its target date stock into a money market fund. So now, I just hope I get a bit from interest each month. At least no more stock market volatility making me sick to my stomach.

Are we saying now that I should actually pull it out completely and take a huge tax penalty and stick into a safe? I’m not going to start buying property or Gold at 70. I don’t have the knowledge or desire to tie up what little money I have in those instruments.

The news is just getting worse. It isn’t just one safety net and safe guard, it’s all of them.

What do they expect people to do? I can’t keep altering my life to accommodate every fcked up policy and pipe dream this narcissist and his cabinet of criminals is scheming up.

I’m afraid of (in no particular order):
1. Losing Medicare
2. Losing Social Security
3. Losing my savings and 401K due to lax banking regs and market instability.
4. Getting sick from lack of vaccines for myself or from others infecting me
5. Living in an increasingly dangerous world with domestic armed militia taking matters into their own hands.
6. LE officers who don’t want to enforce laws and instead make up their own.
7. Being unable to afford basic food.

I know there is plenty of other things to worry about, but my 70 year old brain is pretty much fried right now.
