we have been in a digital economy for a long time now , hardly anyone uses cash anymore anyway so why not cryptocurrency?

and the dollar is backed by what , thin air?..

the feds just keep printing it and printing it , out of nothing , now there is a Ponzi scheme

the plunge protection team will not let the dollar crash , they will ease it down until it’s toast and replace the dollar with digital FedCoins

but make no mistake about it , the dollar will crash , it is a when and not an if scenario

the best hedge against the inevitable collapse is holding physical gold and silver…
But but but…. It’s the “Official” Ponzi scheme.

We are debt free and do own stock in 401K's but don't depend on them for our lively hood. We've done extremely well on some stocks and so-so on others, but our hands down best investment was residential real estate.

I note that commercial real estate is in trouble as we speak, but residential remains in high demand. It also provides a nice income to go along with my corporate retirement and our SS.
Real Estate will cool off some in the not too distant future if the economy stays on the path it's on and the Fed continues to raise the prime rate. For that reason alone if you're going to go with Real Estate the best time to start accumulationg it is ASAP. f you're already well invested in real estate either sell it soon while residential is in high demand with High prices or hold onto it to use as rental income.

I think Tyson will tire because father time is nasty. Tyson's best move it to drop down and go to the body and follow with and uppercut. If he can pull that off in round 1 or 2 it's lights out.
Tyson not only hits hard, but he is quick and fights from a low position that is harder to block. Look how he darts about in the video.......................... He also seems to take a lot of punishment without backing off.

Paul has never fought a real contender even though Tyson is 58 he still massacred almost all of his opponentsuntil he lost interest and they say the power is the last to go so if he gets some shots in Paul will fall. We will see if Tyson still has the stamina but it's hard for me to see a world champion boxer who beat people like Tubbs,Bruno,Spinks,Berbick,Tucker lose to a guy who isn't a contender. Tyson beat some of the best. I'm hoping he will anyway
We are gonna find out.......Paul by TKO in the 5th

This is an actual sanctioned fight not an exhibition so pride is on the line,hopefully it doesn't take a back seat to the purse.
Should be a pretty good fight for Tyson, Paul is strong but he's no Tyson plus he made the mistake of insulting Tyson a few months back and then tried to back out of the fight after an injury. IIRC back then it was supposed to be just an exhibition but if it's now a fully sanctioned fight that's because of how pissed Tyson is at Paul and how serious he's taking things.

I would bet on that.....
Tyson is the underdog across the board for betting.


It's claimed that Tyson will likely earn one of the top five largest purses of his career, pocketing a guaranteed $20 million (£15.7m) fee for his participation in the fight.

Paul, meanwhile, has suggested he stands to make as much as $40 million (£31.4m) out of the event, which will take place in front of 80,000 people in Texas.

"I'm here to make $40m and knock out a legend," he said at a pre-fight press conference on Wednesday.

Tyson, however, has played down how much he stands to make.

"This fight is not going to change my life financially," he told SPORTbible.

"If I did it for free, it's not going to change my life. My wife is constantly telling me, you do not need to do this fight.

"This is what I want to do, this is me. I'm seeking my glory."

Real estate does sometimes cool off, but residential has historically come right back up and has remained a good hedge against inflation. The 10X plus increase in value of our rental properties was through the economic ups and downs.

My son and his wife have done very well with real estate in Calgary. They are continuing to build on it. I don't think they are focused on quick money more along the lines of multipole rental units. I think him and his wife called it there retirement plan.
Whatever they are doing, it's working well and they are prospering.
He's in good company, lots of people have been doing that since the Pandemic and that's probably the biggest reason inventory has remaind low and the prices have remained high. Everyone I've hears talking about rental property lately are fairly pleased with how it's going. The only complaints are the usual rental issues such as difficulty finding good tenents and the maintence issues that a bad tenent can cause. Of course those headaches can easily bee mitigatd if you include a property manager into you costs. Let them dal with the headaches.
