Why do you feel safe

[bcherod]

What makes you feel that your money is safe?
What makes you feel that you are safe?

What makes you feel that none of what’s happening will affect you?

 

[BrianNole777]

Nothing is 100% safe so nothing.

 

[The Tradition]

Obviously, Making America Great Again will make us more safe.

Many people are saying it.

Bigly.

 

[Moral]

I believe it is clear that the government that rules this country is undergoing a transformation. The last time we had robber barons money was absolutely not safe. We had to put in safeguards to protect from them and it is getting dismantled in real time.

Until they get rid of all that pesky regulation and mid level HR drones aren't needed.

This.

But there's a difference between realizing nothing in life is guaranteed and bitching & worrying about it 24/7.

Deal with it. 🤷‍♂️

I have a lot of cash and FDIC insured money, but not sure about investments. I am set to inherit slightly more than 2 million in assets and cash when my parents pass. Safe I guess because I’m physically fit, and accurate at the range.

Don’t put a target on your back. I would be quiet about an inheritance. Lotta thugs looking for a mark, just ask the pro athletes.

Do you have any concerns that a guy who leverages assets, then defaults on his loans might have thoughts on safe cash investments and the FDIC?

 

[HawkeyeHitman]

I’m very safe because I don’t take anything for granted and I’m not afraid to do a honest day’s work.

Frankly, all bets are currently off. Most guardrails seem pretty flimsy at the moment.
Not to say that I am skeered, but there is gonna be a fair amount of negative resulting from this admins actions.

Great. So you don’t give a rats ass about widows that live on fixed incomes from retirement and SS.

You must be a wonderful person.

Hope you don’t have siblings that take your inheritance, but from the sound of it, you seem like the one most likely to steal it from your siblings.

 

[QChawks]

I’ve got my money all over the place, lots of diversity

I feel safe because I have awesome neighbors that are always looking out for each other

 

[Scott559]

I feel pretty safe as long as I do my Hy Vee shopping before dark.

 

[CarolinaHawkeye]

I'm worried shitless right now with grift Inc. in charge.

TaKE DeS mOiNZ BACK!!!
What kind of a world do we live in when a guy like @NorthernHawkeye can't walk into a Hy-Vee after dark for fear of jets of urine shooting down his pants legs?

I must have missed the Trump E.O. that ordered the government to take money away from widows.

Social security dude. Are you daft?

 

[10kHawk]

I have a diversified portfolio, a great financial advisor and a lifestyle that’s pretty simple. Most wealth for the top 10% including Musk consist of equities. Are you thinking some kind of dystopian crash or theft?

 

[BioHawk]

Well, money is backed by the Fed so I know that no matter what happens, I'll be able to get my money that I have from the bank. Sure, inflation can change its value but that is an issue that can be adapted to. However, if we were to decide that we want to go back to the gold system, where there is now a finite amount of money, then if something happens I'm going to have to get my money from the bank to make sure I still have my money. I guess I store it in the walls of my house or something. Of course, everyone else will think the same thing I do and also want to get their money out of the bank so we end up with bank runs. Good times!

That’s divided three ways, I won’t fight over money, not worth it.

I didn’t say that at all. Where in anything I said, answering your question of feeling safe, sis you get that I don’t care about widows?

 

[Huey Grey]

I feel safe for the next month or so. But I feel really unsafe after that. We're all living on borrowed time. And that time is less than we think.

 

[ClarindaA's]

I do, but I’m hoping there are enough grown ups to stop it

 

[billanole]

You may be giving way too much credit to the grown ups.

There were in dumpster fire administration #1. We saw it and heard lots from those people after Bonespurs got landslided out of office in 2020. In dumpster fire administration #2 there are only grifters, cons and yes men.

Expand please. Why safe for just the next month or so?

 

[Huey Grey]

It's around the time I think we can coast on fumes before Trump's decisions begin to seriously start costing us.

 

[Moral]

I'll answer. We are in a bit of a constitutional crisis between the executive ignoring the judiciary and Elon running around and killing agencies which would be the role of the legislative. If something doesn't give and fast then we have an executive that is able to do whatever it wants or essentially an autocracy.

The Fed cannot promise anything in this day and time. All of the walls are under attack.

Being educated as to where our money is, realizing that there are a lot of bad actors OUTSIDE of any government or financial institution and staying informed is vital.
There are things going on all around us every day that can affect us. Regardless of who is sitting in the Oval Office.
Naïveté is a luxury most of us can’t afford. Trust is something that must be earned and not given away.
I’m a widowed senior citizen. No one looks out for me BUT me.

 

[goldmom]

Great. So you don’t give a rats ass about widows that live on fixed incomes from retirement and SS.

We both fit in the latter category. While I understand your concern where is it written that others are required to give a rats ass about widows on SSI?
WE are responsible for ourselves are we not?

You think your immune system is only going to hold up for another month?

I’ll be fine because I don’t depend on these agencies to give me money.
