If the next 20 years play out anywhere close to how the market has performed over the previous 20 years, I'll be golden.
The problem is that I have very little faith in the system. Globalists are getting desperate, and we know they're willing to burn everything down if they think they'll rule over what's left.
Obviously I can't just stick my money in a mattress because inflation would kill me. I own gold and BTC (combined about 10% of the total), but otherwise it's mostly in VOO with sprinklings in individual stocks.
I feel like my only real option is to let it ride and hope I can retire before the collapse. Even if the market only slightly beats inflation I'll still be set.
Anyone disagree and think there's a better option?
if you are worried about a monetary collapse, no combination of stocks, bonds, or bank accounts will save you. it would be wise to invest in hard assets, such as land, food production, mobility, shelter, and a means of defending it all.
that last one isn't just a monetary investment, it's also a social investment. Make friends, build a community, and grow a bartering network.

Why would you want to live and survive in some Hobbesian place in the first place? This gay earth is bad enough as it is right now.
The best thing about acquiring real assets like land is that even in the event nothing dramatic at all happens, you still have a few quiet acres and a cozy home that's all yours. This by itself is worth a king's ransom these days.
And we thank you for the hardwork
