lodeUS and TotalEnergies reach 'nearly $1B' deal to end offshore wind projects
Serious question, but not entirely related to the topic - how are “smart” people in the US preparing for the next 20-30 years?
- Assume everything will be fine and America will remain a global economic superpower.
- Plan an exit to a more serious, stable country.
- Some option in the middle of the two to hedge your bets?
I'm investing in property in places that will allow me to get permanent residency without jumping through too many hoops.
You theoretically lose yield compared to the S&P average - but if you're hedging your bets against the US possibly going to shit - the S&P is unlikely to perform as well as its historic average IFF that scenario unfolds.
Seems like a better hedge than gold, but my crystal ball isn't working.
D) Die. I'll reach my expected lifespan by then. If possible, move to a serious, stable country before then.
Smart people know that you can't predict or plan for anything on anywhere close to that time horizon. The only plan is be adaptable.
You can build contingencies and hedge bets. You can plan. You just can't predict what will happen so it's playing the odds.
I don't know if I qualify for "smart" but my plan has been to keep one foot in the US and one foot in Europe.
I saw the writing on the wall long ago. I predicted all of this happening many years ago. I left the US back in 2015.
Currently in the UK, and I hope to eventually get dual citizenship. My partner is European, so that is possible too.
