I went on what I guess I'd call an anti-dollar run last year. Was almost a spending spree. Everything from investing in myself (e.g. learning new skills), improving my house, real estate investments, adjusting debt a bit, etc. I think by end of year my cash savings was the lowest it's been in 10 years. The point being not all for waste though, as the vast majority just became illiquid and more tangible things. All in all, I still am very much tied to the system, because at the moment it's still all operating and I still have to take care of obligations, etc. I'd still call a step into the direction of being much more resilient to whims of the government.

Also added into my budget a tiny silver and crypto buying plan. We're talking tiny, like 2% of my paycheck after taxes. Mostly physical bullion coins and Bitcoin Cash (not as popular I know, but I like it). Haven't bought any coins yet this year, but I will soon. Probably aim for a tube of the Austrian coins and equal amount of 90% junk.
