You may need up to $5 million in Assets to retire these days. Inflation will probably get worse. Costs of things will continue to rise.

I started with Baseball cards as a kid and started investing in Physical Silver at age 31 .

Have you started investing yet? Metals, Stocks, Bonds, Art, or Cryptos (I don;t do Crtptos) Jewelry?

If you are 25 and not investing , you are already behind the 8 Ball.

The Average person retires between 64 and 68 now.

You know your choices are a Socialist and a Fascist. Which would you vote for?

I have to say I would rather see men in women's bathrooms than Children missing arms and legs or seeing kids molested or Kids kidnapped by Ice and sent to countries they were not born in. Trump wants wars , he has proved it by attacking 7 countries. He teamed up with Israel to kill women and children. Trump pisses on the Constitution. So it is social crap , higher prices , higher taxes or Child abuse , higher prices, and wars. I would have to vote for Harris today.

I believe election results would be:

Harris 65% Trump 30% with 5% other. Trump would lose all the swing states.

Rememeber Trump barely beat Harris in total votes. It was not a mandate , or landslide like MAGA lies about.

Give me % of vote. Remember that Republicans/MAGA are only 30% of the vote , Democrats/Liberals are 30% of vote , and Independents like me are 40% of the vote.

There are resources the US must have to move forward. If the US stop trading with other countries or all the other countries stop trading with US , the US economy would fail. We depend on other countries buying our debt , if they stop , all that comes home and causes Hyper -Inflation. The US could survive a depression , we could not survive Hyper-Inflation. There is no one big enough to bail US out.

If US loses Reserve Currency , US can no longer just print money out of thin air. We would lose it because of no trade between US and other countries.

So it sounds great , US all on its own. no need for other countries and we make everything and keep it all state side. It will never happen and we can't do it. Companies can't expand Markets and grow especially because couples are not have kids any longer. That means they can only hire a finite amount of people. Also there will be no need for dock workers with no imports or exports. No need for ships. You won;t need as many trucks or drivers. UPS and FED EX would have to leave US. Small Businesse would go under. Walmart would close 75% of their stores. How would Amazon stay in business? Unemployment would be 50% .

It is a world economy today hate it or love it. US started trading with other countries in 1778 , which is why the US grew and got wealthier.

Most of my life, I've never thought i wanted kids cause I barely wanted friends. Looking at relationships I had, which isn't many, just 3.

All long term, but only 1 mentioned wanting kids. She did for a time, open me to it but infidelity on her part led to our relationship ending a little shy of a year.

Now as I try to pave a path forward for myself, I still have to juggle with the problem that male CF patients born in the late 1990s only live 40, maybe 45 years. And I'm 26 now, and way behind the curve to due bad decisions I've made in my life.

This combined with my status as being single makes children a laughable proposition. I can't imagine myself ever ready to handle responsibilities of being a parent. My longevity is a serious consideration as well as me being behind in life.

So I'm gonna lean towards best case scenario, I've got a wife with me when my time ends. And that is what I want most, a spouse. But what my last relationship proved is I'm somewhat amenable, if I love the woman. In that this children issue would not turn into some ultimatum.

I know better than to do something that moronic when the relationship is that special. I'd just have to allow our motivation for eachother to succeed to get me to where I feel ready to take that next step. Do you want kids?
