Much of our country and what passes for investments are nothing but debt piled upon debt.
We have a massive derivative bubble that will burst sooner rather than later. TPTB are very busy convincing people everything is ok. A con game requires confidence. They will print until they cannot print any longer, then create a crisis that makes the masses beg for CBDC. It will all be blamed on the bad Putin.
My excess money is in land, lead, powder, primers, Gold, Silver, food, tools.
Like much of the eastern world, I am actively de-dollarizing.
I will keep enough cash to survive on. What I can thrive on will be out of the dollar as best I can.
At 65, I am not worried about hitting any home runs with risky stuff.

Primers No freakin doubt ! Reloading components have been few & far between in this area. I broke down and bought a 4 pound keg of H4350 last year. It’ll do for most of my rifles. With the other stuff I’ve gotten to hoarding, I’d say I’m fairly well armed, at least by ‘Campfire standards, but I haven’t found Rifle primers, large or small for about 7 months! I’m not lacking, but I’m a little paranoid about burning up what I have, with little chance of replacing. These days, with the government sorta waging an undeclared war on American Patriots, I think we should all be a little paranoid! 7mm

What would I invest in? I'm actively investing in memories while I'm still young enough to make them. They will help sustain me in my later years. My house is paid off and retirement is mostly funded. I'd upgrade to another home if it came with hunting land. These strategies might not be appropriate for the next person. Everyone's situation is a bit different.

People...
I invest in the good men and women of my Community...
The dividends of good will, honor and fair exchange far exceed "investments"
-----------------
As for monetary investments... I really have no idea...
HARD COMMODITIES... PHYSICALITY HELD... if you have a particular expertise.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

About a year ago I started believing all the doom and gloom.
Super inflation is coming, money will be worth nothing, etc...
So in a mild panic I spent 2/3 of our savings on down payment on a 4 bedroom house down the street. It is NOT a money maker but it's helping my sister in law/kids out and I feel better sticking the cash into that house versus the stock market. Land is really hard to come by around here otherwise I would have liked to went that route.
And we got in at 5.25% so not a terrible deal even if we overpaid by maybe 10%.
Also spent a chitload on shooting/defense related products so good there!

Real estate,..in any form. The stock market is manipulated, precious metals are manipulated.
Real estate is difficult to manipulate. Its value is plainly evident to too many people.

Licker, ammo, funeral homes. I don’t have a real bright and sunny outlook for the future.

Real estate?
Better be considering that corresponding property tax burden. That's about to become the next big thing. Bet on it.

The stock market is manipulated, precious metals are manipulated. Mostly via those derivatives I mentioned earlier. There are roughly 200 ounces of "paper gold" traded back and forth for every ounce of real gold delivered on the exchanges.
